My build is at the paint shop.
The LS2 had its first start on Wednesday and really sounded great. Yesterday and half of today was taken up stripping all the chrome, windscreen, roll bars, dash, lights etc., off. An old steering wheel was fitted as well as some old "roll around" wheels. All the pre-painted underbody, suspension etc., was taped up with heavy plastic. The car was then trailered off to the Paint Shop where it will stay for 6 to 8 weeks. When it comes back,, it will be re-fitted with everything that was removed today, then its off to the trimmers to have the cabin and boot done. Give that a couple of weeks then hopefully, Sniff Test and Engineering sometime in June.
I have posted a few photos which I took today after it was stripped and it looks a real heap of crap.
The other two photos are the VZ Monaro colour, Turismo, but with heaps of added Pearl, That is the colour the body will be painted and the other shows the colour and design (Sorry Aud and Mick for borrowing the design) of the intended stripes. They are a Landrover colour known as Zambezi Silver, but with Special Effects Silver added.
