here's my BBQ painted in DeBeers candy red. Painted it at home and cost around $200 for the silver base and candy tint to cover this.
I was thinking of painting my LC 4 door candy red, but i wanna drive it and thrash it. I couldnt really do that if i went candy, coz it cant be touched up. If you get a scratc or chip the whole side needs re-spraying.

ham i reckon you go something like a salamanca red, keep it easy and original but again it's up to you. wait for something to catch your attention on the road and go with it!

yea salamanca is on the list but i kind of want to do something a bit different make it stand out a bit more, not that its a show car or anything. I just want mine to be a bit more unique.
Sting red is probably the other one im thinking of at the momment. I want a dark red though, not like a maroon but yea hard to discribe.
thanks for ideas, keep them comming

Well theres ruby red, but if you want to stand out i dont think a dark red will help you.
Maybe a Porsche red, or Mini red?

Yea my definition of deep red is obviously flawed lol.
I really like that red in the pic i posted though gotta try and find out what it is.
also gotta figure out what to do with my engine.
Have a 202 at the momment with double sus to go on it.
Might sell them and get some tripple stroms or webbers and get a yella terra head?
I dunno much about engines so if anyone has some good mods that would be great, as far as i know nothing has been done to the engine thus far.

Read Old-Johnnos website for starters
Depends what you are after and how much you have to spend.
Throw a budget for an engine build up and we can all take a swing

No real budget as such, i have 9k for the sandblasting and paint and panel work saved up so it can come out of that
Wouldn't spend to much over 1k at the momment, once its all done ill do some more mods to it.
Im just really bored not being able to do anything on the car at the momment.
I dunno what anything costs either, new stroms/webbers and a yella terra head may cost me 2k or more i honestly have no idea.

well depends pal. honestly if you dont have a massive budget just stick with a small Holley or 2 barrel strommy etc etc. Trippls can cost from 600 up and thats not including rebuild and tune. as for the head go for it, pick one up for a couple hundred on ebay, have a punt. some cheap extractors off ebay as well and a vk electric dizzy. a cam will cost you a hundred and something and depending on who puts it together it's either free or something. here is your engine!
you dont want nothing crazy just driveable and reliable. good luck

I have a 350 holley that was on it, leaks a bit of fuel though and double susi could sell that would get me close the the tripples. (with manifolds, sus have basicly all the running gear with them.)
Thanks for ideas.
Also that ebay link i posted with that colour i liked, asked him a question and he doesn't know.
shame

All holden day was good to many ideas in my head now.
Asked a few people on what colour their cars was and i got "all i know is its red"
Anyways ill keep looking.
Sandblasting is on hold at the momment again, he has a heap of work on and the weather isnt to good. Plus he is virtualy doing it for free so im not to anoyed, if i have to i might just pay the full price to get it done with.
10 600 saved up.
Bought fuel sender for my new tank at all holden day aswell.
