Hey there EssDub :) Cheers for the spring recommendations in the other thread. It's too bad I live east of the border now, miss all the good times we had in the hills...


There is always the Great Ocean Road to have some fun on :D


That's for those who don't know any better. Personally I prefer:
  • Healesville-Kinglake Road
  • Gembrook - Launching Place Road
  • Mt Baw Baw Road
  • Donna Buang Road
and many others :) None are as close to town as the twisties in the Adelaide Hills though.

Fitted the Omori boost gauge with dimmer circuit today. Was expecting it to be a quick job but my alternator belt coincidentally snapped when I went for a test drive =_=
 
 
 
Had my work cut out for me with an overtightened alternator pivot bolt...

The long awaited respray has been completed and I thought it would be apt to take a nice photo. I'm against the sunset at Sandringham Yacht Club. DT Panels did a quick and nice job and I have few faults to pick with the paint job.
 
Also removed all the nasty door tint using a $19 steamer I got from Godfreys. Made the job so easy and you can use the steamer to clean all sorts of things!

What'd you pay for the respray? I love that this car's being restored to immaculate condition.

The cost was 3k including all prep work and damage repair. Dropped it off on a Friday and drove off on the Saturday afternoon after.
 
Recently I have been experiencing farting and hesitation. Took a quick look at the ignition system and found that the dizzy cap is quite worn. $161.40 from a local dealer

Did that include the removing of quarter windows, side trims etc...? Or was it just a mask and spray?
 
I live 5 mins away from them so I just might goto them for a simple respray in the future.

Just have a chat to Vu, prices are listed at http://www.dtpanels.com.au/index.php/services.
 
It's not going to be a $10k respray but quality will be very good. (Yes I did get $10k quotes from some places!)
