07-06-04, 11:05 GMT+10#24 its done with fibreglass, both cars are from my area and i know the guy who done the fibreglass work on the silver calais, 23qout is a panel beater and did the fibreglass work himself. both look really good i rekon!!

07-06-04, 11:15 GMT+10#25 Yeah i'd say fibreglass.. bog or filler would just end up cracking..
Best thing to do though would be to plastic weld them up.. and then sand them flat.. wouldn't be that hard actually probably easier than fibreglass if you know what your doing.....
Not sure if i should give it go though.. will decide in the next day or 2..
looks good though..

07-06-04, 14:10 GMT+10#29 Nah just eat lots and let it brew for a few days, A hard night on the turps also helps.
Make sure you have some good reading material, I recommend some sort of FHM or Ralph, set the exhaust fan and have some Glen 20 Odour Neautraliser handy.
Then just sit down and relax, pace yourself. And that my friend, is the key to a good dump.
Oh if you wanna dump that low, I recommend bending at the knees and slowly moving foward.
Enjoy the results.

The morning after a night on the turps results in a discolouration in my dump. I like to call it 'hangover black'. I should paint my car that colour......

07-06-04, 19:28 GMT+10#37 Yeah it is stupid, SirGeo already said what to do, lowered springs and shock, thats pretty much all there is too it, adjustables are always handy.
But basically that combined with 19" rims anything will look low.
