2 lines are better than 1

got me beat how a grey was spinning one wheel let alone two

[quote="fb cruzn"]wow found this in page 10 well i said i wasnt in a rush
time for an update
not long after i started this thread i moved to sunny QLD and left my fb & ek behind
i spent a couple of years up there but theres no place like home
worst part, the ol fb spent that time under a gum tree that was full of sap
I got sick of it looking sad so its time to give it a new lease on life

im undecided un the front lower apron/spoiler, its something i did years ago thats grown on me what do you guys think?

Harry... I personally dont like it ...but it aint my car and further more its none of my goddam business ...you do your thing mate its your car and you know what ya like ...if we all liked the same stuff all the cars would be the same ....cheers Fingers

Not a fan of the front apron, sorry .

apron's long gone, thats an old pic!

dont be so hard on the grey harry, it chirps second but i always wait for the gear box to explode

Shit I would say it won't be long and something will go bang

its a sad day today. the fb runs out of rego today. been a good car for the last two years.
about 6 months ago one morning i was shocked to see a large area on the roof peelin paint. it happend overnight. i sanded the whole roof. painted it again only to peel off a few days later. i have now painted the roof 5 more times but still peels off. only in the one same spot.
so im over painting it. i dont know what to do with it but to retire it. it still runs great.but its cruzn days are over

That's a shame I'm guessing you did a bare metal respray during those 5 attempts ? All the best
Pete

That's a shame.
If you are bare metaling the roof, prepsoling it, etch priming it, priming it then painting it there is no reason what so ever for it to peel.
Somewhere along the line something is missing I'd say.

yea john and pete. done all that. even scuffed up the metal with 60 grit. nothin sticks. its tho one area. same spot every time. yet i rub it all back and prep the whole roof the same.
ill take a pic. im open to sugestons. iv got another body im contemplating swapping everything over.

Go buy some isolator, spray a small area re hit it with under coat &top coat and see if it peels again

Seriously I would be speaking to some reptutable painting firms/painters with some experience to see if any ideas......otherwise leave it with killrust brushed over it for a while

some one might have put an ek roof on it

Put a vinyl roof on it
