Final layer of paint were on~

3 layers of black paint with 2 layer of special matt-coating. finally, mango's new outfit was finally done. Mango's windscreen will be fitted on tomorrow and slowly all the parts taken out will be slowly putting back.

Soon mango will have his heart start beating and his muscle flex-ed and start galloping on his hoofs again~ XD till then~

Progressing nicely~

Everything is progressing nicely~ will update when mango was one step closer to completion~ till then,

FIrst layer of black painted on~ >_<~

Was closing shop early today~ 60% (6 out of 10) worker of mine didn't turn out today, so i give a suprise visits to mango~ and guess what,Mango is getting his first layer of rotton color.

hohoho~ black

Already putting on the basic later which give him the black look will add more later and eventually it would turn to 'dead' black color but with smooth surface.below is some more shot~

the photo was taken using ah heng's new nikon flash SB600 on my GH1~ >_<
can't wait till mango paint job was done~ yeah!

Mouth full of drool~

Was with Fujiwara 83 few days back go visit mango, and show him something he do really want to have on his ke as well~ ^^ fufufufu~
he was drooling at the front fander, why?

arch wide enough to stuff in some 8JJ+ rims~ hohoho~

Progress~ progress~

went check on mango just now~ see how's the progress going... most of the part had covered in anti-rust foundation paint already. now waiting it to dried completely then will start the cementing.
engine bay also clean-ed and painted with anti-rust coat. 
Ah Heng said mango should be ready to get his first coating in a few days time. ^^ if the weather is nice ~ :P hoho~ 

i can wait~ ^^ no problem~ 

Change of plan ~ dramatically....

An altered bad news came from the paint-man~ hoho, one week back~ @_@ i wasn't able to upload any photo to blogger this whole week~! darn malaysia's connection.

So this is the news,
the passenger side's body line was slightly curved-in, maybe due to excesses welding and re paneling.
The roof of mango was slightly angel-ed, like 5~7 degree at the point of it's center-beam. A sign of he might been had a heavy fall onto drain or something hard hit underneath.
things was slightly better, but still there's some de-formation on the roof as well.

So, after much discuss with my paint-man, he advised that i paint mango in mat black, it will covered up the deformity, at least.... So, i'll keep mango's current tune setting but will added a bit of comfort to it~ :P (air-con and some audio) hoho~

Finally at the paint-job shop~

Show some first~ ^^
side mirror on already~
a bit of mango's butt~ really look like AE86~ :P
side by side with No-2~
