good old matt black hides all sins from a distance, that guard was full of rot and held together with cloth tape...
mags just got sold for $300 which goes into painting fund, trying to decide on colour
this looks purplish, imagine it as gunmetal....
orange was a possibility but don't think so anymore...
gloss black was another possibilty I have pretty much decided against...
like it in green but my TF Chevini is already green, so what if its still years away from being fixed up, itll keep!
Won't be red, this pic is the look I wanna go for... mean stance, low with dishy wheels, probably widened steel rims just need to find some centres I like first...
Anyway at the moment its a toss up between gunmetal grey and eggshell white... but I think I'd rather do the TX chevini wagon in eggsheel white.
I welcome any opinions or suggestions...

s*#t I'm slack... since last post have only had a few sessions trying to buff up the s%*tty spray bomb paintjob (looks half decent though) reckon one more buff over the drivers side and it will look as good as it will ever look without repainting properly.
Located heater hoses that fit so water is all plumbed up now.
Painted stock steels orange. Look OK with the chrome beauty rings and pie dish caps.
Finally managed to remove bonnet badge from rusty old bonnet. Cleaned it up today, apart from where someone hit it with a sander looks nice. Hard to find item...
Still need to do: (list is boring and more for me than any of you)
Mod front bumper brackets, put bumpers on (Chevette items front and rear)
Accelerator cable and bracket fabricated.
Bit of engine wiring, hopefully have someone lined up for this when he has spare time.
Add clamps to fuel hose on underbody... anyone know how far apart these need to be?
Remove fuel tank so external seal can be fitted... doh
Put carpet back in, refix door cards properly, sill guards, trims etc etc blah
Clean up seats and re install.
Hopefully getting a Manta steering wheel for Chevette wag, bosskit and wheel from that will go here..
Need chop rear springs, obtain shocks to suit.
Clean paint overspray and 30yrs of yuck from glass.
Fit CD head deck... cassette deck face plate is AWOL.
Purchase/find/steal a new battery.
Tune the Webers.
WoF - Reg - Skids on!

Took this and my 3 wagons to the Kumeu Classic Car and Hotrod Festival weekend just gone. Was a mean show, camping and carnage ensued. Cant wait till the next one!
