Go for it Mitch.
The more GTS's there are out there the better for all :lol: :lol:

At the moment, I that is unless I find another colour I like is for Bella to go pale yellow or gold with the current striping.

Cheers
Rob

mate, seriously, i weighed the deadener out of my car (well, what i could weigh, as some 'disappeared' while sandblasting the whole body).
it weighed 18.5 kg.... no BS. i reckon it would have been over 20kg all up.
how much would u spend on chasing the HP needed to lug that around....?

yp i got it off with a air sander using 80 grit sticky disc's $39 super cheap works well. i used 20 discs but it was 3 inches above the door crease. 70% of the door and suprise :shock: little rust in front doors none in the rear ones, i left the bog alone in the rear quarters :lol: i dont want to know.it looks as if new sills have been put on at some stage.

Brett,
Yes to posting a yellow GTS (warwick yellow, similar but lighter than yellowperils)
I'm saving my pennies for a new engine, whatever turns up :shock:

Cheers
