Todd licky licky i like where you are going with this...

[86TRD]

If your going the off white colour i would just do it yourself.
White is a pretty easy colour to spray.

Also where i live there is a bloke that will do paint jobs if you prep. so you sand it back give it to him, he will primer, then you sand again and then he will paint it.
He charges around $600 doing it that way which is including paint, he just doesnt give any garantee on how it turns out as you do the prep.
You could ask around and see if someone is willing to do it like that.

I forgot to mention I love the space that the tailgate on these open up on My dad has a 1000 wagon sitting in the backyard in the same blue

What do you think of the handiling and steering?

[Jdm-Mcc]

Also this is a deluxe model seeing as it has bumper over riders and a dashpad

Im so excited to see another 1000 going to get some love some proper love!

Interesting!

Whatever colour you choose, perhaps paint the door jams and that yourself and then the remainder can be a closed door re-spray. The cost of the job rises when you add extra work

[86TRD]

Definatly door jams, they rise the price heaps.
Should get some new number plates to go with your new paint, there a little discolored.

[Todd]

to be honest, it drives a hell of a alot better than the ke20.
steering is tighter and more direct, just feels 'less raped' than my ke20 did. its great actually considering the age of the car.

deluxe is interesting to know also i want to find some badges for the boot though, and did they have any on the guards?

yeah actually after you messaged me today, i spoke to my brother about it and im better off doing the door jams myself.
basically im going to get the painter to do the final prep work and give it a once over with some sand paper, and then paint the thing in TUPAC.

im thinking silver at this stage. a nice classical alfa romeo silver

and yeah, new plates are on the cards, they will let the car down after it's sprayed. also going to put all the chrome trims back on and give them a good dose of autosol.
