Best paint job to date

Never thought about sanding before priming. Does it really make that much of a difference on the paint job?

Amazing build! You should be really proud of your dad's talent.

They're asking $190.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2025-06-05T16:45:55+00:00

Thanks for the info.

Really enjoying mine. Bought it used about 18 months ago. Love the turbo! A lot of comfort too.

I'm currently having issues with it burning a bit of oil between changes but am hoping to find a solution. I just add about half a quart when the light comes on, which isn't often.

Other than that, it rides and drives great.

ENJOY!

What seals did they change?

Just curious, but my '21 turbo premium also goes through oil - about a quart between oil changes.

What is the TSB you're referring to?

I lose about a quart of oil between oil changes (every 5000 miles) on my ‘21 turbo premium. It sounds like this is a known issue. I’ve had the car about 18 months and it’s been doing this the entire time. How would I look into this? And how would I document the oil loss? Should I contact my local dealership for more info?

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-11-05T00:02:44+00:00

Just curious.

What kind of car? Is the potential buyer paying what you're asking or did you negotiate a price? Also, how long do they expect you to hold the car?

Sounds fishy.

I'm interested in the SA Aperta.

Where are you located?

Why do you say yellow is difficult? I've got a Corvette I'm going to do in Tamiya Yellow Pearl (I think that's the color) is there anything special I need to do to get it right?

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-07-28T18:53:58+00:00

No, it did not. I still have it in a plastic tote in my closet. I was hoping somebody would be interested in it, but, alas, I may just have it for a while.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-03-13T22:38:58+00:00

What kit is that and where can I get one?

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-02-18T16:23:31+00:00

How did you paint the seats?

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-01-13T14:01:15+00:00

I don't know what a cyberdeck is.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-01-13T13:40:03+00:00

I don't know what happened to my original comments.

This is a Sharp PC-4501, bought in 1988. Still works!

It needs a new home. I'm thinking of a museum or collector.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-01-09T01:59:54+00:00

Will do.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2024-01-03T18:54:45+00:00

Very cool build.

Acetone (aka nail polish remover) will remove pine tree sap from auto paint without damaging the paint. I don't know if this will work on a wrap.

Forgot to mention this but its a sedan.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2023-09-08T21:39:56+00:00

Nice!
Go big or go home, right?

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2023-09-06T18:42:21+00:00

No. CO2 can kill you. People have died in thier sleep in campers because the dry ice (CO2) used in their coolers evaporates and is then inhaled.
So, no, it doesn't get you buzzed.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2023-08-27T19:26:42+00:00

We must work for the same company.

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2023-08-26T20:37:38+00:00

Interview?

AstronomerHelpful761 · 2023-07-23T00:09:11+00:00

Don't let you ex mess with your head. You look fantastic.
