Engine bay color is awesome.

End of this month
I have one of these as my daily, they are awesome. Glad to see someone is doing a build on one. Should be a little rocket ship once its done. By the way where can I get one of those strut braces?
Thanks man. At this rate, it looks like I'll just be rebuilding the motor as is to get it up and running, but I'd definitely like to do something down the track. Strut brace came straight out of Japan. Got it from Yahoo auctions earlier this year.
In other news... Action.
Went out this afternoon and picked up a box of Ironlak.
And the colour is... *drumroll*
Pose sushi. Picture is a bit shit there, but it's a bit darker than that and more purple looking.
I have used these ironlaks before, but never on a car... the colour is awesome. Will look killer. How long will it last tho compared to automotive paint... tends to fade in the sun
Yeah, I've heard reports of fading, but I'll be laying down two fairly thick coats, so it shouldn't do too bad. I'm gonna try and get a hold of some clear to go over it as well. I sprayed the beaver panel and the door jambs today and the colour is pretty bright. Came out well and looks pretty mint. I'll get pics once it's all painted up as it looks pretty ghetto in 3 different colours...
Nice. Keen to see pics of it when paint is done. Also are you going to pull/add guard flares to the rear to fit those wheels?
