"'72 1800E. rust free body, factory air, 86,000 mi. not currently running, needs a fuel pump. has fuel injection. 4 speed with overdrive. It would make a great vintage racer."



Needs everything, but maybe no body or interior work.

This one's back for sale with 3k more miles, "lots of recent work" and a similar price. The driver's side front panel alignment looks odd, but might be the picture.

Plasti Dip works relatively well for smaller complex surfaces like wheels and trim parts. It looks like poo poo on larger surfaces. It's not meant to be an alternative to vinyl wrap for larger surfaces.

Is there a cheap way to do patterns on big surfaces that are removable cheaply? I want to milsec tactical camo out my subaru wagon after it's fixed because it'd be funny but I don't want to spend more than like $200 on it.

If you want it to be removable, vinyl is really the only option.

A KP61 and a wrecked AE86 Corolla GTS would take you to great places, thats an insane price though. It was pretty antiquated when it came out, they were pretty badly engineered, awful interior quality, and gently caress brown cars forever.

Too nice to modify to the hilt, not good at all stock.

So he "professionaly" spray painted the wiper arms? Must be worth $200 right there :v:

Thats too bad, it looks pretty good in the pictures, if you like the flat look.
I cannot find many pictures of gloss, so it is hard to tell.

yes, and beige. gently caress beige, and also those metallic colours ford AU used to do, like 'champagne', which was pretty much metallic beige (my first ford was an EA in that colour). Beige, beige brown, metallic beige, beige fawn, they all suck.
Exceptions are to the mazda rx7 metallic brown, for some reason they look good. On that note, metallic greens suck too, except weirdly for the mazda rx2/rx3/rx4.
I've got no idea why. Some cars 'own' a colour, like subarus own metallic blue and that looks bad on most other cars.
Some cars look great in light green, dark green, flouro green, bright blue, but most cars don't. But gently caress brown, beige, beige brown, metallic beige, beige fawn and fawn in general.

Just imagine that GM hadn't dropped their plans of a rotary engine and remember that the GM rotary would have been in that Pacer (and in the Vega, as well).

Or just do what I do and imagine that all the plans for rotaries in cars came to fruition and people would be arguing over which rotary was best.

Yeah I know what you mean. the Fairlane is "Mocha Foam". I call it metallic baby poo poo. Inside the engine bay it's the same colour without the metallic finish. It's the sort of colour I'd expect a Datsun 120Y to be. God those things had horrendous colours.

My next acquisition was made in '87 and is "Fawn" in colour according to the motor registry. It kind of works for it better than most.


I actually like them in that colour. Probably the only car I find it permissible. My other choice would have been white both so it matched my VW in colour cues and because it would have made body repairs so much cheaper.
