ok well i have kept allyuh in suspense for too long so on with the story! So mr. Perry finished up his welding in about April BUT perry does not paint, so in comes talls to finish up the car. Talls specialise in older cars and did the painting by us. Well after the fiasco with the 2 previous bodymen we did not really want to go by a bodyshop anymore. Same situation with mechanics but thats a another story all together.
Here is some pics of the car being painted, the car went down to shining metal and then straightened, primed and painted in Chaste White.
Notice the doors lineup now...
so basically at the end of Aug 2007 the car was finished ready to drive. We starting the car, making sure everything wa working properly, realising a few problems. One was the 4wd 10.2 brakes had a different streering angle to the FWD so the car was unstable on the road. Also the rear left caliper was gone! smoking like crazy!! so for the while until we found some FWD big brakes we got some 9.6" to drive tha car. These actually causes a little more problems than we expected.
So one early sat morn a pardner wanted to see how the car running (bad move) so took the car around the block got to about 90km/h at the end of the hill mash for brakes we gets NOTHING!!!! so to avoid hitting a wall, hit a colvert and into sum bush.
Looks like the front brakes was still rusty shoudda skim the rotors, and the rear left stop working so only the rear right doing a lil thing. the damage was not so bad actually just bent bumper, the left frame rail get it but the door could still close.
so bend back the bumper and fix him back, still did not get around to fix the frame rail.
Well next step was to run the exhaust, so we did a 2 1/2 exhuast by Specialist Muffler 2001 nice job too i will take a pic when i get time with a cheap barrel at the back.
