Old red is the new black!!

Postby Steve 818 » Thu Jun 29, 2006 12:15 am

I've finally given up on the 16 year old Classic Red (Sunburnt Pink) and shelled out my hard earned dough on a new paint job.

Black is definitely the new red and isn't it damn sexy!!!

Stop calling me Shirley!! :shock: :mrgreen:

No mistake with the price. One hundred and twenty dollars.

Juffa, considering that the car has had just a few minor changes recently, (NB engine, new ECU, full roll cage and now a colour change), it has received a new name as well. Out with Earl and in with Frankenstein!!!

Steve,

Honestly mate, that looks absolutely awesome!

Im a bit scared to do the paintjob myself... Maybe I can fly you up to sydney (pay for your flight and accomodation) and get you to do it for me :D

It will still work out cheaper than getting it done professionally 8)
