i doubt there's any progress yesterday, they'de have been to scared to go outside don't think it cracked 10 degrees where they are i know where i live it reached a staggering 7 less windchill, and i spent the day being a good samaritan fixing a strangers car on the side of the highway

my guess the spots are flake but i figure know that

[Rusty EK]

i know what you mean by cold RB , have been trying to get the engine bay ready for paint , but it is taking about two hours for the damn spot putty to dry , this cold sucks.

Wouldn't be fun painting .

Sorry you blokes....
But the day after the last "installment", Telstra dropped out of service at Pete's 'home 20' for 4 days! ( phone & internet no go due to corrosion in the lines..er...so THEY say? ).
So when I got home I thought I'd post up the photos here just to find out that my 'puter (Woofto brand) was stuffed and needed to go back to the shop AGAIN!!!!!!!! ARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH.

So here I am back on line (a week after the last posting) just to find I left my camera's lead back at Pete & Kim's home...just brilliant!

Now to answer the 'black dots' on the flash line...it's a light shot of large gold flake just whisped across to highlight the flash but not to over power the colour. Looks nice in the sun!
The whole idea behind this paint job was to look like an original Holden paint scheme but modernize/customize it with pearl & flake..so in low light it looks like a normal paint job but then changes colour and sparkles in street lights or bright sun.

I will post the final shot's on here when I either get the original lead back or I buy one in town..just a bit busy installing my Smith's "bee-hive" heater in the EK today.
