winchester's sepang bronze E30

[winchester]

Haha, I'll take that as a compliment Nothing is happening, just sitting here being annoyed by the fact that the paintjob didn't turn out as suspected.

[hi its me alec]

What's up Michael?

You know, I despise your car and all its potential :P

[winchester]

You don't say. There's crowds of them! And I repeatedly told the man to check the hood, the rear wheel arches and the front fenders, mostly because the rear wheel arches I welded in myself, so I needed them to be a perfect replica of the new ones, but I can see a large dent infront of both the arches - which I also told him to pay much attention too. The hood looks like a shooting target if you look at it from the correct angle. I'm going over there to complain on Monday, hopefully he'll come to his senses and reconsider his crappy job - if not, he's never seeing me again, and I'll spread the word for sure.

I've been over there helping him for several days, and he generally seems to stressed, which is NOT a good thing.

Thanks man.

Dude I am sorry to hear this. Too many hack-ass bodymen in the world. I have personally worked at a number of shops, and the only one that did 100% acceptable work all the time, (and never, ever had to be asked to re-do something or fix a blatantly obvious mistake) was my uncle's bodyshop. He and another guy own the place, and still do most of the work, just because they are usually unhappy with other peoples work. It's ridiculous what some of those guys try to pass off as acceptable, or "quality" work.

Attention to detail, and a badass work ethic are what body men and painters need to strive for, and the whole auto collision industry is built from. Too bad there are lazy fucks out there, with absolutely no ethical integrity.

Good luck man.

Looks like it has to be re-painted, the flaws are to major for my taste, especially considering I'm paying 3500$ for the paintjob, minus a 1000$ discount. Never going back to that shop again.

I'm pissed.

[winchester]

Well hello there, brotha!

[White325is]

Oohhh heeyyy!!! I have a twin..

[winchester]

Not in a hurry, so I'll take my time, hehe

[Chase Otter(:]

The color is amazing.
Hurry and swap the motorz now!

[winchester]

Don't have them yet, I'll bring the car home tomorrow, so I'll take some pics then

Always wondered how Sepang bronze would look on a e30, and so far it looks awsome! Post daylight pics!

[winchester]

These are the copper tinted windows, front window will be bought later.



Renewed! New Powerflex subframe bushings and some stiffer trailing arm bushings. All parts were sandblasted and re-painted.



Reserve wheel well removed, aluminum plate inserted.



This is how it turned out, before the paintjob.



Startec backlights where bought.



Some quick pics of what was done to the rear wheelhouses.

Vegas13, the clear made an amazing difference! I was sad to begin with looking at the car without it, then just BAM - awesome.

kramerbuccs24 - I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, since it's going to be a street driven car with plates, and my country can suck their balls for making these stupid rules. The S50B30 is the only legal alternative, and even that's a struggle.

[R.Grimes]

HOLY SHIT! love it man! great colour choice

[kramerbuccs24]

Well if your goal is to make it perfect you certainly started out with the right color. My all time favorite. I'd love to see a Euro S50B32 in it!
