Just wondering the weigh of this Roadster following all this painting!

ha ha.....I doubt that 3 or 4 kilos would make much difference with all the go it has.

Not one of your options but..... Laguna Blue! :mrgreen:

It's an MX5 colour after all but never available on the NB.....

If you keep adding colours it may end up looking like these

maybe......but I still wouldn't let her sit on that windscreen :lol:

Haha.
MJT raises an interesting colour scheme. Made me look up the renown racing rx7's / mx5's.

What about soul red with white stripes? I know you like your stripes

I wouldn't say yesterday was one of my better day's - in actual fact far from it :lol:

while working on he car the eldest daughter heard a knock on the door and called me - theres a creepy looking guy there covered in tattoos

well it turned out to be the youngest brother by 12 years which I had not seen for 14 years, a bit of a black sheep you could say -with a drug habit to boot! I've never had anything o do with drugs and actually never even been drunk :lol:

but it had been 14 years so I let him in like I would any one else

we were mainly outside for the good part of 20 minutes apart from the quick walk through in and out of the house. easy talking and it was actually good to see him after so many years. I even wondered at times where he was..............well that thought won't be with me any more :lol:

as far as I am concerned now......he can get well and truly stuffed and its the first and last time I will ever let a drug addict enter my house. today I went to get my wallet to buy some paint. couldn't believe it ...my wallet was gone. with it my license and a couple of cards and $280 in cash :lol:

well not too worried about the cash but the license was pretty important to me.

so I sat on the lounge and replayed yesterdays event in my mind. I walked back through the house first and he trailed several metres behind. he passed within 2 metres of the wallet which to a thief would be a red flag. I recall being at the front door and he was no-where to be seen. I walked back into the kitchen and he was picking up his dog after he had picked up my wallet :lol:

well it only proves one thing. never trust a drug user related or not! but he better spend it wisely because when its his turn to go for the 1.8 metre or 6 foot under trip - no donation will come my way. he can buy his own shovel and do some honest work for a change :lol:

I thought about ringing the coppers too. but decided in the very end just let the low life get the hell out of here and hopefully -never see him again :roll:

plus the fact that I am thankful I never chose to go down that road of destruction.

I'll send you a PM regarding your yesterday mate...

Police. At a minimum you need to notify them regards your stolen licence.
I'd be worried about him pretending to be you and accessing accounts, applying for credit.

billybunter · Postby **billybunter** » Thu Dec 15, 2016 6:19 pm

all good and sorted out now and hopefully won't see him for a while.

meanwhile I decided to get back into the work and do a clean up of the interior prior to a complete re-spray tomorrow of the black vinyl to darken it up to look more classier than a three quarter first attempt. this will include re-spraying or re-dying the carpet black. once this is done the whole interior will be covered up so I can concentrate on the exterior.

the decision is also in on the paint colour too and I have chosen a reversal of it's former colour. so it will be the bmw e36 red call hellrot which is a very dark deep red and was used in the early '90's on the e36 range of cars. plus it will run a white side stripe very similar to what it ran before.

paints been purchased so there is no going back on the colour now :wink:

why red? well red is associated with being as fast colour for a car and this car I think is a pretty fast car :lol:

so a perfect match. all I have to do is apply it correctly :wink:

and if I do the job right it should look pretty good.

all this stuff was cleaned up today ready for re-spraying tomorrow. weather conditions are not ideal for painting the car but good enough to do the interior work
