Btw I think I'll put a sticky 1 infront of the Tach

[Roadkill]

Ahh, Don't worry, Mate.

As PhilO says nothing to worry about . . . We're not talking about a Ford Fiesta here . . . . .

Didn't know it required comments . . . except yes, seems feesible.

Fair doos

[philoldsmobile]

good eye, i never noticed the GFX being different myself!

[Roadkill]

PhilO !!  I'm disappointed in you.

[philoldsmobile]

never had reason to look at the door GFX that closley!

Quoting: Roadkill

PhilO !! I'm disappointed in you.

Now you mention it that is Kinda shocking!

[FUBAR]

TBH I only noticed because when they are 1cm apart & they don't line up its very obvious, on different cars you'd never tell

[philoldsmobile]

dude, its your car and you only just noticed!!!!

[FUBAR]

no i'd noticed before as its bugged me for ages, i'd just never thought that it could be a different door from a later car, makes me wonder what happened to the old one...  probably dissolved

[FUBAR]

Might also explain at least some of the reasoning behind the car getting re-sprayed... next time I have the door cards off i'll try & see if there's any overspray colouring on the inner bits

[philoldsmobile]

the car being built in california is all the reason it needs for a respray..

i seriously doubt there is a cali car out there in its origional paint...

mine was painted by lenn lyall chevrolet, in 1988 under warranty...

[FUBAR]

Rusty

[philoldsmobile]

hmm, yes and no... yes, its not good, but no, for a good welder like rocky, thats not going to be a particularly difficult repair..

[Roadkill]

Nah, not that bad, Mate.

[FUBAR]

Hopefully not, it looks worse IRL,  After that & the floor are fixed there's no more major rust worries left on the car AFAIK apart from the Panel on the rear arch, & that can wait until re-spray time.

[Roadkill]

After speaking to my brother - he's gonna get me a price for doing the bodywork and spraying the Caddy . . .

Seen some nice colours . . .

Seen some nice colours .

Please don't tell me they involve matt black  

[Roadkill]

No.  The Caddy's going a (baring in mind i'm slightly colour blind so this is how I'd discribe them) :-

A "Midnight" blue body.  ie. Dark Blue without a hint of anything.
The Roof will be "Off" White or white.  (Basically a little less creamy then it already is.
