Verry nice job on the car mate.. Keep up the good work.. My cars also on a budget build and im paying my painter/panelbeater $3,500 to do the repairs, GT cutouts and in primer on my girl. Just shows how good of a job you can get from a short amount of $$ to pay

... Hope my car turns out as good as your mate now i cant wait till mines done hehe. Keep up the great work bud ill be keeping an eye on this thread ;)

BlueKoop · 03-06-2009, 02:01 AM

Nice Nice...... My car was also on the budget side. Paint and panel was 4500 (+500 for a bead blast) and that was in 2003

fordmfp · 03-06-2009, 05:38 AM

Thanks guys yeah i would have loved to spend big dollars on her but im just not in that position financally at the mo!!

74xbkoop It wasnt to bad mate it was a brown console with the wood trim but it was very tired, I just resprayed it and changed the colours to the black and silver

Cob115 lol nah mate the wheels were fully covered when he painted thats just dust!!

Yeah its amazing what you can get for 4k when you see what other people have spent 20k on!!

74xbkoop · 03-06-2009, 07:23 PM
