well i work in parts at a Honda dealer and have for a few years, and i help out the mechanics a every now and agian, and im at panel shops a few times a week so i got lots of exposure and people to help me when i need to know how to go about doing what i need done, plus i get most of my parts really cheap cause i spend most dayz trying dealing with suppliers.
as for colour, i want to keep it the yellow its in but mabye make it a bit less flat, needs something else to it, mabye some house of kolour additive of some type i havent really thought too hard on it because the spray jobs the last thing that happens.
I've wanted to do this kind of build for ages but never had the guts to go out and buy something to get in and do it with, but crashing my 33 kinda gave me a kick in the arse lol. hopeing it comes out really well, im a bit annoyed that the underside of the new shell is no where neer in as good nick as the old one but no-ones ever going to see the underside anywayz lol.
