been working hard on the pannel work over the last few weeks and it's actually comming up pretty fast, going to try decide on colour and order some paint next week.

Also my rear bumper which i finally got back from the electroplaters after 7 months, looks pretty good for what they charged but they also put a couple of new dints in it!!

Very nice. You do some fantastic panel work by the looks of it. Was that your original bumper or was it one of the NOS ones i sold a year or so back?

What was the price of a rechome if you don't mind me asking?

[Lang Inder]

bumper is the orginal one just had it pannelbeated back straight again, was quoted $400 for the chroming but ended up getting charged $550 (didn't get the quote in writing ) proberly still cheep but as i said it took them way longer than they said it would and i had to make like 10 trips there before it was finally done.

Soo, went down to invers on friday and dropped my headlining of to auto upholsters to make a new one, went and saw the powder coaters and got quoted 200-250 to powder coat my whole front suspention (is this a good deal?. Went and got prices for all my engine work im getting done and finally went to but some 2k paint for the car. I took my id plate down but they couldn't get anything off it, i don't have any pannels still in factory colour to take a reading off as it's all primer. So im abit stuck. They showed me a booklet with all the factory nissan colours but they're faded so don't really know. Anyone know the name of a good nissan creamy colour?

Then finally went and looked at 3x1200 coupe parts cars, which i ended up buying. heaps of parts i'll post up some pics when i go pick up the last one today.
