passin ewe Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 That really is a nice colour. You need number plates with FNMINT as in flash green one eh. It's so good to see these old classics being restored. The Adelaide get together doesn't look promising for me at this stage. The car has been inspected and verbally given ok but my report is still a long way off. Once received I then have to submit it to the DPI ( Government Dept) who will then send me to the inspection station who will then give me forms to send back to the DPI. Also the union I'm part of at work has been striking for the past 11 weeks, so no overtime which normally funds my hobby. This could go on for months to come so extra money isn't forth coming at the mo.

I'm still unsure about the skynats but the Datto brother hood here in lithgow want me to go to datnats with them next year. sounds like an awesome weekend what did the paint job set you back if you dont mind me asking? paint cost about $800, $250 for use of the work shop/booth and $250 for the painter. Very nice. Are you painting below the door sills in black? What engine and gearbox is in the car?JH Cheers mate, sills have been blacked out with stone guard. The old girl has still got the factory L24 and 5spd box for now.

jrh001 Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 ...sills have been blacked out with stone guard. What's stone guard? Is it a paint or some kind of stick on? I can see fender mirrors and a spoiler in your sig picture. Have you got them yet? And from where? Saw a mint green C210 sedan in Melb today. Colour looks great.

harvo Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Cars finally back home after spending 3+ months waiting for paint also got another nice little surprise last week Our little man jhr001: stone guard is a spray on type, and the sig picture is just wishful thinking at the moment. I think it needs to be dropped a couple of inches before anything else.

Ghostrider Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 That looks excellent. I don't know about pearl yet, I'm not convinced it's the way to go on a street car, as it's to hard to match if it has to be later. I think it's great that some of our younger generation is rebuilding our classics and not just buying technology off the shelf like my daughter did. And your sticking with the period when choosing your wheels. Nothing worse than an old classic with bling bling bling new wheels. And when you want to think about motors, drop me a line if you want to go efi coz I got the bits hangin around everywhere and they will go to the scrappy unless someone can use them. As for your surprize, as it's #2 I thought you would know what causes it by now. lol Cheers, D Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/325655-fresh-c210/#findComment-5343212 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Socrates Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 I like the picture with the kids cause in 15 years you can look back and say look at the skyline when you were born. I would have liked a picture with me and one of the skylines (3) in my family when i was born, it would have been great. Are you planning to go to skyline nationals in Adelaide?

blk180 Posted July 13, 2010 Share Posted July 13, 2010 Woo looks great. If my car ever gets to the point where it can be sprayed i hope to do the same and hire a booth/painter to finsh the job. Did the guy mind that you did the prep work?? was the shop you went to up your way??
