Because thats how a proper respray is done :D:)

The whole side/front of the car is being sprayed. You cant match anything properly if it isnt all sprayed.

Nice, now that's a lot of work! What sort of coin are we talking here Alex (my long term plan)?

Luke

The panel beater I am usings resprays start at $10,000 for an external panel spray including jams and stuff. Thats just a rub back and spray.

For a full bare metal repsray, hi fill, sand, sculpt etc with engine out, interior out etc, between $26,000 and $28,000.

You can find cheaper though, dont worry.

I know its crazy, but the workshop is full of FPV's, Audi's, Merc's, Ferarri's, Mustangs etc. He is the reccomended panel beater by all the Euro prestige car dealers and FPV too. Top notch work

Let me explain what has happen everyone.

I got the wing from 3intheback

I got a mold made

I got a sample made for me

My panel beater put it in the oven to bake it (gets the bubbles out from the fibreglass)

The thing cracked like ass

NOW, time for me to get around to Freddies again and give him a talking to... get another, get it sprayed, and try it on my car. Alternatively, might just get a sample, slap it on unpainted, and everyone else can go from there.

Look, Ill go around to Freddies within the next two weeks gaurenteed. At the moment, had a 15% assignment due monday, wednesday, 10% one due this friday, and another 10% essay next week. Ill go around after that.

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
