rite... steel guard found in chch prior to earth quake which has slowed its arrival. small price to pay. troy has got back into this and has completed all rust we know of apart from a small hole in the sill. he also got a painter to quote a price of 7hundy to paint exterior in 2k gloss black. was gana rock spray bomb satin blk but now need to make a decision... have so many cars plus a new one i'm paying off plus thinking about heading down to chch and pledge a bunch of labour in restoration cleaning so need to be serious in where money gets spent....anyhow chevini is getn closer. may get it home in shed and get painted in a few months despite desperately wanting chevini finished. everbody listen up and take a lesson from me.... one project is enuff! need to learn to finish things. green wagon is my daily and needs attn jyst cbf when i get off work at the end of the day.

Guard turned up today... yay! needs some repairs but expected that. Painter tripled original guestimate... gana DIY with my cousin who was a carpainting apprentice for 18months and assures me he knows what he's doing. Threw in carpainting to sell BMWs... Selling my Turbo's, not sure of value so start price is $300... had interest at $400 odd last time I was gana sell em... decided they dont suit any of my cars so they gotta go... look awesome on Chevettes! Did look good on Chevini but reckon with better paint theyl look poohs. www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=374612539&ed=trueAnyway getting close now... fiddly bits to do include: Source longer accelerator cable Hook up choke cable Exhaust (new) Source heater hoses. Bit of wiring Suspension (yay front shox fecked!) Panel/Paint Enjoy! PS Interior too but may leave as is till funds bounce back! Will want new carpet and modify my new Recaros scored off Trade Me www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=368084077and why stop there, new head lining, bosskit and steering wheel etc etc... this is why I may leave interior for a while... anyway I'm gana go have a drink and go to bed koz Im old.
