Before Repair and After.

My dad had a small accident in his ute a few weeks ago, he went to the panelbeater who said he can get the parts for him and we can do it together (my dad and I), this is how it went:

We did this a while ago, but I only just thought of putting the pics up now.

Nice effing job! It looks professionally done, which is odd since we know you're no professional.

Are you going to paint it or what? Actually the black colour looks half-decent.

So, when do you stick a 20B in there?

All it needs is a coat of paint! Looks like you did a pretty good job.

Once Dad gets our compressor working again, (a 5+ year restoration job ) we'll try and paint it, maybe even give the whole truck a new paint job.

You do know thats a primer coat... And we hvent been able to put the badges and trim on yet either. Our family is just one big procrastination family.

Apparently it's quite popular in Australia to swap the Holden 3.8 litre I6's in...

But it's due for a tune up soon, the head gaskets gone and it runs like the hunk of **** that it is.

We might do it oursleves, but knowing my dad it would take 6 months.

Is all you did was replace everything with new parts. Either way it looks great.

I had to fix my Dad's car when I destroyed it. Well, I didn't have to, but I offered to fix it instead of having my Dad pay someone else to do it considering it was my fault, and all. It looks brand new. I also had to fix his body paneling underneath the right rear taillight after some douchebag in an F-150 backed into it. He actually paid someone else to do it, but I went back and fixed what they didn't.

Yep, but we had to bend some steel back into place and thats all we did to the chassis, but it was just some random peice of steel.

It took us from about 4pm to 10:30pm to do it, it wasnt very easy considering that half of the bolts had rusted and we had to drill them out, so we were a few bolts short fitting the new parts.

The one with the semi?

I'd been thinking about that and I realised it is your fault - you didn't get a tag number, and you didn't get the semi to pull over. What the hell good are you?

That would be the one.

You're right, it is my fault. If I could do it all over I would chase the ****er down, and then I would murder him for driving in the fast lane. Not only the fast lane, but the fast lane over a god damn bridge!

Only having a primer coat makes the car faster, because it's got a stage 1 weight reduction.

You should give that whole damn car a nice new shiny paintjob...:|

We're planning to, didn't you read one of my other posts?

 

[Vasco]

Yes I did read your other post, I just didn't quote it, but I was agreeing...maybe I should put "should" in bold...
