He might mean a 185 Kw V8?

But the block says 2.8...its a 173

I know you are free to do what ever you want with your toys...but the value of G paks are going up...seems a shame to destroy one when you could do the same stuff to an SL ect.

I fully concur.

Any details on the motor? Looks like a 9-Port top end from where I am standing, and I have no idea how you can tell that it is a 173, FastEH lol the only way for me would be to open it in photoshop and brighten it until I can read the casting.

I mean the paintjob actually sounds very nice nice (except for the dragon vinyl... if you want a mural, go all out and get one airbrushed ), but I wouldn't do it to such a rare vehicle. Just my 2c

welcome to the forum tubsy,
mate i realise its your car and you can do with it what you want, but please take note of whats being said here.
Your car will get a heap more attention (good attention) if you leave it as the current paint scheme is.
Try and count how many GPAKs you have seen lately, especially in as good condition as yours appears to be.
I agree with the others and say leave it as it is. if you wanna go painting it up and adding vinyl dragons, go buy an old pulsar or something that runs on pure rice.
cheers mate

[lcgtr1970]

oh and btw i got a torana cus i hate rice burners

excellent! i like the way you think!
in regards to still having the GPAK decal on the car after the respray, i think that maybe someone on this forum made repro decals, or paint masks???
anyone able to help out with this?

[Heath]

so i've got to re-spray it and dad got the paint cheap at a sale at super cheap it's all two pack
but as of now the car hasn't been sprayed
and i wood like to have g-pak still running on the side

Yeah that's perfect then. Have a red car, silver on bonnet, and silver "GPak" stripes down the side. Unique and respecting the vehicle's heritage. 2k paint is better than acrylic in many ways, so there is no problem with changing to 2k.

I mean your car but I reckon that'd look sweet.

[FastEHHolden]

Its paint.
I don't know if anyone else here has made mask kits...I am looking into it.
