dude thats cheap as a! i would like to that but i hate the turbo hoods and finding another n/a hood in nz will be sooooo hard and sooooo expensive.

this is what i got done today (stupidly hungover) with the paint i had lying around

two only got the primer treatment


and other two got Saturn black as well before i ran out of paint they still need a few touch ups but im happy


and cleaned up a little bit

thats right there use to be a sun roof there

well jb weld comes in two little tubes then you mix them together you would need to buy a lot to do as much as you did. its about 4-5 bucks for it. but 2 tubes of jb weld filled in all my wing holes and coverd up my tail light above my key hole.

yea bro i was going to do what you are doing but after having the car in the same sort of state for 3 years i decided to cut some costs and save some time doing it this way just got the major things like the roof and a few dents/holes filled and just going to spray bomb the rest with rattle cans saves me sooo much time and money! plus its only a haggard weekend drif/skid car lol

yea cheers bro im really existed to see it dropped down on the wheels with every thing all painted up, to be honest its going to look ruff as but its how i want it lol

yea man i found it on a New Zealand graffiti website at 8nzd a can, with like 80 odd different colors i thought why not when the cheapest can i could find any where else was 6.50 and no army green color. awesome stuff to touch dry in one minute!

omg I love it. I did the same thing with my rear end filled in the tail light above the key hole and all my wing holes antana hole and so on. I left the holes for my rx7 badge though. coz FC's have such a nice ***! I just started spray painting mine to. Im going for a glossy white though so im hoping any orange peeling can be clear coated and wet sanded away
