Thread: 1980 V8 Rangie Build Up.

Well have done heaps Since i last posted some picks, Painted like half the car then thought it was way to red so changed it all to matt black.




Also got rego a week ago, Just been doing little drives around as i was a bit worried about Gaskets, And what happeneds..... Blown head gaskets so pulling her down next week and gettin the heads done and installing all new gaskets.

Tim.

You beat me to it... thats the colour ill be doing mine next, once the BRIGHT LOUD GOLD colour has been scrathced off! Tell me, how did you get the undercarriage so clean? It looks like you could eat of them diffs

Tuned out sweet, will be getting the rubber flares soon too. Ill post up a pic or two when its done to compare

not knocking yr work i think it's great and I might be wrong but isnt matt black an illegal colour to paint a vehicle? Something to do with light reflection....

a Couple of questions:

1. where did you get those vents in the bonnet?
2. What paint did you use for your diffs etc?

Never heard that one before!

What if you have oxidised paintwork? What if you're just a grub?
