[MENTION=79826]absalom[/MENTION] ,, I saw the paint job update on ih8mud. Looks nice, man. I like that color.

I like it man. Did you paint the door jams/engine bay or any other interior components or just the exterior?

Thanks! Just the exterior. I sprung for Dupont materials, so the cost would've nearly doubled to paint the jams. Fortunately, they are silver, so it's not very noticeable at all.

The paint looks a LOT better, but it doesn't look like a fresh paint job to me. Maybe it's the reflections?

Are you happy with it? It looks cool!

Good eye! I had begged my buddy/photographer to do the shoot on his one day off, so I had a narrow window in which to work.

Just my luck that it poured on the way to the parking garage. Then, being Arizona, the car was covered in desert dust about 14 seconds later. So, I had a nice muddy mess on my hands for my photo shoot.

Oh, and toddler hand prints on every square inch of glass. Grrr....:mad2:

I'm in love with the restoration process, as it's a wonderful hobby when I'm not with clients. So I'm ordering another 81 and a Nissan Patrol. Someone keeps flagging my post on Craigslist, so I had to completely rewrite the listing and now it's garbage

I like think of it as a horrible imitation of TLC4x4. All my capital is realized through my real estate endeavors. I got to say tho, I now totally get the appeal of restoring cars (even though I'm not doing full restos). I aim to own as many of these exotic beasts as I can before it's all said and done! I agree tho, stupid CL. You going sedona this weekend?

 

[AZBub]

Should drive it around Sedona with a For Sale sign next weekend.

That's a great idea. Hope to see you there

That's about $99 more than I was ever hoping to spend on a brake bleed, lol. Every time I pay someone else to fix something for me, my penis shrivels up just a little more.

Thats Awesome!:iagree:

Dude, it's ridiculous... Every time I log in, there's a new notification for some spam in this thread. And it only seems to be this thread, none of my others.
