  1. Thanks Phil, I hope i spawn a whole new series of DIY 'Rollers' LOL
  2. See the over flow? ;) The rubber seals will cover these marks. I still haven't sanded her down with the 1200 wet/dry. I bought the cheapest wax i could find - so i'll give it a go on friday/saturday. Go forth WOK Star! ....I heard Dan wanted his car hot pink LOL! The gap isn't that much...it's just that the other pics are 'drive way spec'. I waxed the bonnet. Gave it a red hot go...is there a difference? (to be honest, i don't really ) However i used some Elcheapo window cleaner. Awesome - Newspaper and the spray. Awesome. Little details = POV camera phone The wing mirrors look alright, considering I sprayed some clear coat on it I cleaned up the edges by just sanding around them...using a block of sand paper. - surprising results
  3. Haha, thanks for the comments boys. I don't need her to be lowered as yet. She just needs to be 'sleeper styles' I need it that height for my drive way. Will take better pics after Starletto Cruise on Saturday
  4. Hellow UK Starlet ppls! Here is an update: I changed manufacturer for paint, becuase they didn't have it at Big W. So I went with Watyl Rust KILL - Very nice. It comes on quite glossy. I diluted it with some turps and used it with a half decent foam roller. See what happens after you've done a fresh coat of paint. FFS!!! Frikki'n die somewhere else ya stupid insects!! THe new paint manufacturer. Tools required. And a half decent foam brush ($6!! WTF?) DIY Spray BOOTH Packaging Box. Cut half of the top and angle the sides for venting. Resprayed the mirrors. Much nicer finish. I now know how to cover the mirrors properly HAHA . Bright as! Note: If you CBF wrapping the mirrors up ...you could always use a plastic bag! I should of used the left over packaging box, broke it down, and then used it as a cover for car instead of always preping with newspaper etc.etc.
  5. Coilovers installed (veyr little change in ride height....but stifness is crazy) See the colour coded mirrors Before.. After.. Here is a picture of the roof - sorry about the bad quality - she needs a good sanding and a few more coats.
  6. Obviously, if your EP82/91 is looking spick and spam, there is really no need to DIY cheapo paint. But if your looking to colour code, or just paint up some bits and pieces - you can do this with under $50: http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showfl...part=1&vc=1 Only the 1st page is worth the time, the rest are tire kicker comments: Summary: - Rust paint diluted with Mineral turps for milky texture - Apply thin coats (+7) - Allow a month to 'cure' - Purchase El cheapo turtle wax - Cut and polish like crazy, building up protective layer Rustoluem SPRAY Canned 01 bug eyed Rex: (in drive way) http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1452874 *sorry for massive pic* Other links: http://www.instructables.com/id/Paint-Your...With-Rustoleum/ I've noticed that someone has vinyled an EP91 roof, but how many have painted the car themselves? Here is my work in progress. Wing mirrors and wheels to go.
