Spraypainter wanted in auckland

[flyingcr250]

is this what you really mean't to say...?

i too have made the mistake of doing a car up for myself, i just painted it with 2K.

basecoat clearcoat was too expensive for what the car was.

You are fuckin kidding aren't you? Why would you turbo a bowl of porridge? Don't get me wrong, I have owned one of these[They handle like crap when they are new!] and several mini's[Which do handle] But a pumpkin? You know you will have to change the suspension and brakes? And then when you have finished it will be worth fuck all. Seriously, get an old MG GTB or Spitfire or something that will at least look cool! Also, wouldn't you be doing the paint job last? ie After you have done your transplant?*shudder*
BTW, I wasted a lot of money and time hotting up an old Vanguard when I was your age. That's how I know. Wish I'd bought a bike instead.

Suspension is fine, has disc brakes with plenty of stopping power, but may upgrade to something a bit better, go with some different calipers braided lines and a decent brake booster and im getting some mini lite wheels for it and im going to widen the wheelbase a tad... change the steering wheel, possibly a roll cage also.

its just a playtoy really...

the motor side of it is getting sorted at the moment, a guy in christchurch is making a subframe for me to run a honda b16a in it, with custom drive shafts to allow the honda motor etc... that should be up here in 4-6 weeks

money is an object to a point, ie im not spending 3k on a paintjob...

resale value is not of concern to me whatsoever...

what looks cool to you may not be the same as me, the idea is a bit of fun and a challenge to drive, a standard family commuter car bores me, i find the morris a good challenge to drive like a bike, i have owned a couple of classic mini's prior to this and this time wanted something a bit more unique...

i expect to put about 6k total into this car, probably another 2k if i add a turbo also but i'm not sure how viable this is until i have the motor in the car and can see how much clearance i have etc etc

i already have 3 bikes... i like my classic cars as well, my job pays well enough.... and you only live once... so why the hell not?

NO the suspension is not fine and NO it doesn't have plenty of stopping power! Sorry mate, they pretty much suck in that department. Have you seen Basil Fawlty beating his with a branch? Get your self a branch!
Don't mean to be hacking on you but mate, sounds like a really bad idea!
You should keep it std, at least that way you will be able to sell it.

Why would i sell it after all the work im putting in? as i said resale is not a fator, i just like to tinker on projects...

it's been a dream of mine and i dont know how much time i have left due to medical problems which i would rather not divulge to all on here...

classic cars are rubbish, they are slow... unreliable... and most handle like a bus... especially this one...

thats why i like them...

i can't stand something i cant tinker with just for the sake of it, everyday after school and weekends as a kid i was out car racing with dad or under one of his cars with him, building race cars etc etc....

once ya get a taste of that its a life long addiction....

yes my father is a westie.

LOL!!!! The other night when asking me whether you should buy that POS or your mums old car you said:
"I'm not dumb enough to buy something that is not worth more than what I can resell it for. Working, or as parts." - your words not mine.
