TO PAINT OR NOT TO PAINT THAT BE THE QUESTION

[sparkycapri]

My brother in law & I have been making progress on his mk3 tina estate project. replaced sills arches plus other welding etc, 5 speed conversion capri 2.8 vented discs & calipers new brake lines plus those sexy slotmags

i think he should just sling interior back in then mot it and enjoy it for whats left of the summer. but he is thinking of pulling it apart again and giving it full paint job which means it wont be on the road till next spring

WHAT THINKS YOU?

Slam it and leave it

I like that. Get out there and drive it . Trouble is it's hard to take a usable car off the road again .

[brettp]

have some fun in it

If you put it on the road like that you won't want to take it off. Depends what look you're going for. I'd say paint it and unveil it next spring. But then I would say that...

i say paint it properly as untill its got a good coat of paint on it the new metal is still vunrable to more rust

gonna see what it looks like when it has settled & interior is in can't slamm it cos of the slots there off one of my mk1 capris so wrong offset and will foul the arches
