Tyre paint cost r420 posted for a 250ml can. I done 3 coats of paint on the rears and 2 coats on the front. I still have roughly 30ml left for touch ups etc. I applied my paint with those small sponge rollers,paint came out smooth and flexible for now.

Hi again

Changed starter, changed sparkplug leads...soldered some of the wires and tidied up some of the wiring... sorte dout fuel leak.
Still to do, fit side markers and lenses..Thanks Riekert...
Change spark plugs and get new condensor and points... will contact Rui shortly..and that aircooling rubber thing...
Need to get hold of oil cooler from PTA forum member(buy it in other words)
Might get the airducting things this w/e..and have them welded back on but modified to be slightly higher(so wheels dotn touch), running atad bit hot :( :bn: )
these are the lessons newbies learn with aircooled.... dont F#%#$%^#$^k with metal u know nothing about

Anyways had her 2nd drive to Angela picnic...awsome cars there.... but coulndt stay long..... car scarpped like crazee over speedbumps... :twisted:

Thanks to Nic.. guy with silver grey Squareback on this forum for the pic :)... just to lazy to take pics......
