:) Thanks guys, dubster im not going for a set look perse'. i dont hink i will be able to pull of the german look to well as i dont feel i will fully grasp it, and well as for the cal lool... hmm i like the shiny chrome to much to dechrome, so there goes that idea. im going for a look that awesome in its own right. i gonna borrow ideas for cal, german,euro hell maybe even jap. so i cant tell you what its going to be.
Mat the pain job isnt the best trust me i had a panelbeater that f!@#$%&^ with me and didnt complete the car properly, so ther are a fair share of flaws, i cut and polished myself. so yeah but i am happy with the coour choice.
:D

Awsome project man.. Just a pity u not posting plenty of pics?? :twisted:

What Matt did on his pancake airfliter works 100s on a cone filter as well and is easy to do by yourself.

BTW, When is the SnS Show and Shine and Sound off Show????? :zhelp: i NEED to be there to eat my heart out!!!

Keep up the good work man!!! :hangloose:

Actually the Sprayjob is Kak! Ima have to rub down, realign doors and spray again. The prep was kak. I did however enjoy breaking the panelbeaters hand. Fu?ker! Yeah buggerd has to really wait. But hope is not lost. I hope. Haha.
