ur kind of in tha same possition as me - lol. but i got me L's!!!!
are you going to keep it the red it is now? or is it only the gloss coat your doing, i would have imagined if its faded then you would have to strip back a few layers of colour to get a decent result

Nice, clean looking sprinter dude. WHy would you have to respray engine bay for a colour change??

1st November 2006, 11:44 PM
Dont respray it. Get a 4AG first. Your not even on your L's.. it will just be gathering dust right..?

Should get over all that hardcore engine transplants and stuff so when your actually able to legally drive it, its waiting for you.

Why did you buy a car if you cant drive it yet. How much rego does it have.
But im still jealous because I have had my p's for like a few weeks and still haven't found a hachi

2nd November 2006, 03:11 PM
well l started looking at cars here and there just to get an idea than this hachi popped up so we bought it, and also my parents wanted me to have my own car to learn on 4 my L's cause we have no other manuals apart from my dads mustang. is rego'd till late next year

Not Fk'n bad for $2k. i'd reccomend doing some suspension work before getting a 4AGE, unless you want to drive a moon buggy that only goes fast in one direction. talk to dave (truenosedan) from AJPS, he'll hook you up. stockpile parts, and when you get your P's chuck it all in. a standard sprinter will be more learner-friendly than a modded one.

oh, btw, you spelt 'wrath' wrong in your heading lol.

Cool mate, that looks tough.

Is your engine strut real carbon fiber, or just painted that way?
