rik Posted November 8, 2006 Share Posted November 8, 2006 Now that i've finaly got round to repairing my car and sourcing all the bits to rebuilding it, the only thing left to do is paint the mother. Choices are....keep it off the road while i save a couple of grand to get it done (no chance), put it back together as it is and drive around in a half primer/filler multicolour combo (rather not)....or, use my previous bodyshop experience to give it a coat myself (BINGO) Only problem is, premises. As in, i have none. Not being the sort of person to let a little thing like this get in the way, i've decided to build my own on the drive. I just needed 8 panels of site fencing, one ginormous roll of thick poly sheet, and a big bag of cable ties. Lucky for me i knew a man that had these very items available So, take one sorry looking Supra, cage the beast in metal fencing, wrap it up in poly sheet, fasten down abundantly with cable ties...hey presto, Spray Booth! Edit: I've chucked in some pics (bottom row) so you can see how it started out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
