i agree peterm, but a guy i work with just painted his ute.. literally, finished the paint job off the gun just a few days ago..
had a 2 car garage, he shut it out of bounds after spraying, and just left 3 heaters on, and let the heat build up.
came in a few times and pointed them in different directions thats about it. haven't seen it yet but he rekons it worked a treat.

cold steel, cold fingers, cold paint.
That's why i got stuck into it around the time i did. My arms were sore for a few weeks, It's humidity bubbles that cause the main drama's when you paint outside up here. I had a mate just return from Sydney, he said it was bit cool.

Mark You'll probably have to do a crash course to learn how to drive it again (Pardon the pun).[88]

It will corner better next time. i know what your saying. I intend on getting springs from the same guy that did my old mans FX. Thank you Danny M for the lead. The rear tyres were rubbing hard around Lakeside, Hungry was fun. I believe a few runs around QR with the V8 experience will help me back to speed.

Hi guys.
Not much progress.
The right hand front guard needed some massaging to suit the new left guard.
A crack in the paint has lead to me doing the whole guard again. nearly ready for colour.
Currently making my mind up on the colour. it changes daily.

It actually made an appearance on the road last weekend, a rather noisey and not quite straight on the road one. [:x)] The landcruiser is almost done, sick of working on the house, so the escort just might get some attention after all these years..... thats the plan anyway unless i find a new hobby that distracts me which has actually happened anyhow...

About time the RS got some loving again.
My home PC is ready for you to look at. I can help out with the house stuff if you need a hand.
I fitted the XE lip onto the nosecone last night. It was nice doing something other than panel work.
I want to run the 1/4 mile while it's all stripped out, we should go out for a run. I gotta go beat my PB before the interior goes back in.
