if you're really interested, I could possibly even organize the paint for you, I know the guy that owns the paint shop, so can probably get you a good deal
Just the code would be awesome as I am getting my truck painted at a shop mate owns one so only costing me a couple hundred primed and painted.

maybe we should all paint our car a colour like this, people spend a lot of money to get high!

finally have moved all my stuff including the pick up to my new place, no internet or time to work on the wagon though, too much stuff to do on the new farm. no doubt it will be finished one day though, hopefully buying my own argon bottle soon, so that will give me a good reason to get cracking on the wagon again!

got the argon bottle all sorted, so I've been welding a few things like a trailer cage etc, and been generally verry bizzy. almost finished hooking the last of the brakes up, so the pickup should be driveable soonish I hope. went on a hunt for replacement brake calipers, and found that daihatsu charade G11 calipers are a direct bolt on, just need a brakehose to fit them, and they're cheap as there's heaps of them around

Rear deck is almost finished welding new steel in, just need to weld the underside of it, and weld on the cargo hooks and arches

Deck is finished welding up, just needs paint and bolting on. Battery sorted, as well as the brakes, so she drives finally, needs lots of little things done yet, like finish painting, one patch in front wheel arch, new front bumper mounts, and final assembly, but at least it drives for now, such a good feeling :-) pictures to follow at a later stage
