Thank you Glenn

I think that style of West Coast lowrider paintjob will suit it well. It's certainly making people take note while looking authentic/artistic enough to actually be appreciated by most instead of the very very few. Naturally the problem is that it takes a lot more patience than a bright, solid color respray.

I am actually falling in love more with this car than I like to admit. 
It really is quite  very comfortable 

 

As far as complex, time consuming paint is concerned, I don’t want super complex, but like the idea of varying the designs. 
 

Nothing cast in stone. Yet.

Been out in the Grizz’s Folly  car again, it is an addiction for sure. So quick to have turned me from everything else I have to drive. 
 

On the way home I decided to stop by the at my favourite hand car wash. 
 

Pressure cleaned, hand washed, “spray polish” pressure washed again and hand dried and wheels detailed. 
 

Nothing much, but despite getting home after 4.00pm with failing light, you can see a noticeable difference from the dull car I have driven the last week. 
 

Paint is obviously unchanged, still damaged, faded, lacquer peeled, peeled but cleaning it up has certainly opened up the longer, sleek lines of the car, that can be missed by distractions and negative press and opinions. 
 

I am really thinking that this car can benefit from no more than 50mm or 2 inches of lowering. Just need to figure out how cheaply we can do it in England with locally available spring ms and shock absorbers

Looking much better already!

Dont worry about sourcing things locally too much, as long as they are available on Rockauto or through eBay international shipping they are likely to be cheaper even with postage and vat considered. I'm not aware of any store being able to beat Rockauto on pricing or delivery speed unless it's a commonly found parts in the UK/Europe.

I thought they looked familiar. 
I have watched them and enjoyed the way they present and share information. 

[grizz]

Oooooohhhhh

 

Wheels. 
 

In Wembly…… a fair distance plus ULEZ zone charge, away. 
 

Shiny stuff 😍😍😍😍😍

Not the look I want. 
 

If I had £700.00 spare……..

 

These would be on.

Would it be an idea to re do the clear where it has peeled?

Morning Glenn

Redoing just the clear, not going to be easy, ever. 
 

To get it it looking decent (halfway isn’t good enough) would be a ton of work. 
 

My plans will change, but include a radical colour change, style change and a shit ton of hatred generation. 
 

I know everyone has an opinion on how to approach this car…… but therein lies the rub. 
 

THIS IS NOT AIMED AT YOU, I WRITE ON ABOUT  8 FORUMS  and a bunch of very different Facebook groups.
If I were to litsen to everyone it would look like the rainbow with one side lifted, one side dropped and wing on the rear with nascar side exit exhaust. 
 

I am going to generate so many haters. 
 

But as I always say, it was a £1500.00 car which has cost me about £250.00 so far in bits like the tyres and battery.  So they should have bought it or come save it from me 😉

Quite agree,

your ride your way, 

I only try to help with advice where it helps you get to your destination, trouble is, your destination keeps changing 

Budget makeover becomes full colour change and full on lowrider metalflake, not a budget task, but however you move forward, be sure you have me cheering you on and dropping stupid ideas in equal amounts

I absolutely love you and a few of the regulars and irregulars helping. 
 

I absolutely don’t have any ideas or plans that are fixed, except that I want someone to want this car to enjoy once I am done with it. 
 

Keep in mind, it could be me. 
 

Right now, I’m thoroughly enjoying its whole character and charm.

Remember the Key issue I had previously?

Having had the car handed over with instructions that there were separate keys for ignition, doors and trunk. 
 

I also found in the last week that the door hinges and locks were all tight and uncooperative in some cases. 
 

So today I investigated and I guess solved to some extent these problems. 
 

I also got in under the hood a bit. 
 

Outside temperature was 4’C with a breeze. 
 

A quick video for anyone interested in watching videos.

Those are great stuff. 
 

I would go for much weirder greens, with yellow, ochre or bronze overtones. 
 

To me, the final colours would be decided on the day of painting and still potentially edited.

Thanks,

No need, surely? 
 

And fitting central locking to a 35 year old car with brittle plastics is a recipe for disaster and frustration.
