Mine could use a paint job

Ok, it's not rotary powered, but still, this is pretty damn cool:

Billy, I loved the write up. Especially the leader part. Who is the scientist that feeds his goats beer? I hope joining the group won't cost me my security clearance at work.

 

I think I paid like $50 for those 2 or so years back...

I actually bought some leather conditioner and it doesn't really do much. The passenger seat's alright, but the drivers is ripping all over the bottom part. I really want a set of coupe FC or FB black leather ones, but everyone wants a ton for them... And I think I'm gonna buy a seperate floormat for the drivers side that's from the 'zone' or somewhere. That hole started as a cigarette burn from the PO.

And this came today! I love having a decent camera

 

Lexol, Brett. Lexol.

That is hilarious Billie, especially that part about me "running" the group. I joined, even though I'm an anarchist.

 

Well lookie there, Billy. I've made a group too. If nothing else, it may prove to be a good tool for announcements and photo-sharing.

Zoom-Fest Group

 

Hey guys, Not to barage you with NC cars but I just wanted to share a FC T2 with you that I painted and repaired and will be on the road again next weekend with the owner, who is now very happy!! I know that Collin had a issue with "Sabine" when it was sprayed. Just figured I would let ya'll know what I can do with a spray gun Enjoy, Wet-sanding it tomorrow and buffing. Then reassemble with all seals etc.. It also got a s5 spoiler painted, I just didn't mount it yet until after buffing.The color is a MAZDA 06' and later "Sparkling Black Pearl" It has a TOOON of very expensive pearls in it. It is 150 a quart and there is over a gallon on the car

That's 3 FC's this week Dave. I don't know, that's a lot of FC's. But the paint work is excellent! Need a place to stay during ZoomFest? You can give me a few pointers on my painting booth.

 

I joined the group since I've been to two record breaking OGTA events so far.

It takes us Carloina boys coming down to set the records no matter how you count the 12as. Ray were you doing some drugs from your lab when you jiggered the countes anyway? Glad to see reason prevailed.

Oh and just to be a pic ***** heres one of my latest:

I llliiikkkeee that... Collin's been trying to convince me to spray paint my FC


Anyone else going to that Old School meet tomorrow?

 

yeah, i forgot to put it last night when i posted... but i vote option A, as its not as sympathetic to the lesser cars.

 

anyone see watchmen yet besides me? I WAS PISSED

 

I'm lookin', I'm lookin' but I'm not seein' what's different

Before:



After:



Oh wait, I get it. The bottom picture is BIGGER! Looks pretty good in there Tim.

Current vote on the 12A equivalents issue:

Option A (no sympathy for lesser cars): Mike, Ray, Holly, Ben .....

Option B (sympathy for lesser cars): Colin, .....

Radicals with different ideas (tolerate boingers and/or higher math): Stu, Glyphon, ....

 

A couple of what it looked like before I got to it. I think it has been improved

Brett: Spray can jobs "can" turn out decent actually. It takes ALOT of paint and patirnce. As with using a "real" gun it is ALL about the prep There is actually a kit out there that lets you use professional paint( base/clear) but, use a compressed air can to spray with. I'll try to find it for you. Basically a budget way for the "average joe" to spray his car without all the $$ gear. I think Eastwood products maybe who it was. I'll check. Thanks for the comment on the car BTW

 

That looks really good. Should be very impressive once wet sanded.

Well, a happier note! (And I really gotta stop using my cell phone as a camera. It sucks)

 

Yeah, I need to paint my car.

 

I have to share this it's just to great not to:

Much improved That red center piece on the hood and the flames were crazy...

 

I feel better about myself every day. Thanks for helping out! What a fugin moron

 

You guys, that Russian Roulette video was faked. Nobody is that stupid!

So I'm thinking sometime the summer, when it gets nice and hot and dry, I can empty out under my carport, put up temporary plastic walls and do the spraying in there. Only question is turnaround time - how long after each spray do we need to wait to take out the car and do the next one.

Tim, that photo really does suck. What is it?



Here's what Dave's car looks like after the wet sand:

 

Oh wait, I get it. You got the Lotus back! And is that a BMW over on the right? I could live with those boingers!

 

Ray.... That is an FD RX-7 on the right. Maybe you should start looking at FD rears more. Oh, but wait, they are rarer than an FB, maybe we need to up the points for an FD.

 

Seriously Ray? That's his FD

Damnit Holly you beat me to it

 

There's an important key to that picture.

The FD used to be on the left, the lotus on the right.
