Title: CHECK OUT WHATS NEW AT PSP
Post by: ddstoys on November 24, 2010, 03:24:58 PM
Went to PSP yesterday and what was sitting on the nature strip but Marks freshly painted monaro and i must say it sure brought asmile to my face so i cant imagine how mark felt..     It had only just been picked up from the shop and he couldnt drive it as the tires were to wide and might hit the new quarters.

    He offered me a drive to try and motivate me to finish mine but i declined until the tires are done.   

   I forgot to take photos until it was parked but still looks pretty cool there are more photos on marks facebook for those interested

Well done Mark.

It looks great and is worth good money these days. Just lock it up real well so no mongrel nicks it.

I am a ford man, but that  monaro looks great.  ^^^ ^^^ ^^^

Sweet ride, mark the new paint colour looks great, much better than the white.

Being a HUGE Holden fan, I really enjoy these classics, well done mate  ^^^

thanks guys


it was a proud day  ....  shame it didn't last long

my car went back 3 days later to the panel shop to have the gts pin stripe put on .....  looked great when i got it back
till i was told to have a close look ...   all i can say is the f**kwit that did it  when cutting the edges cut all the way to metal
and then he tried to touch it up with a paint brush ... he didn't just do one panel  he did every panel
cut it so bad from front to back , its now getting a full respray again !
I have now found someone else who has hit number 1 on my list ! , still its getting all redone for free and even extra  to make up for it , happy to say they accepted the stuff up and have offered this
hope to off driving somewhere on boxing day !

thanks again


mark
