Hey mate awesome to see another build thread! I'll add my 2 cents, if you have the coin and patience I would respray in 2k if you're not happy with the colour or finish. 2k is stronger and holds its shine longer. a lot of ppl are getting away with putting a l20 into 1600 these days without it needing it to be engineered. SSS came out with a l18 so l20 is still in the displacement percentage. But the adjustable lower control arms are a different story might wana throw some standard ones in. Keep up the good work hope to see some progress |

Stoney, that was probably me. I bought the car in Brisbane and trailered it back home to Sydney last friday. Just spent the weekend cataloging and cleaning the parts I have and figuring out what is missing / broken etc. The list of things i need to complete the car: a radiator Exhaust system Suspension bushes / rebuild the struts New front seats A Rear seat New Headliner / carpets. No doubt there will be more things on the wish list as I go. |

Let the assembly process begin! It's quite therapeutic. |

You should looks at getting a small 3 inch buffer it'll do most of the job |

I've had plenty of time to think about this while i've been wet sanding by hand.I've got an electric buffer (180mm polisher) which is nice to finish the job off, I'm a bit scared to try wet sanding with an electric buffer, worried it'll burn through the paint. Can you wet sand acrylic with an electric buffer? like 1000,1500 then 2000 finish? it would save a shitload of time.. |

Im not sure i just ment if you sand the bay and want to get into the tighter spots you could use the 3 inch polisher |

Very nice base to work with mate, looks great so far, love the colour! Just buff the acrylic up, won't matter once it's driving as you'll be thrashing the pants off it and getting plenty of stone chips, right?! |

You are actually lucky they are 'hidden' from view. It means you can just weld in a patch and not worry to much about panel beating around that area. |

SR, I was thinking exactly that. Once the guards and bonnet are fitted these sections are totally hidden. It will be my first crack at any sort of work like this, i'll try not to butcher it too much! I don't actually own a dremel tool or mig yet. Perfect excuse to buy some new tools
