Grunt's Papaya HX Sandman 18v 308 4 speed Project

[Grunt]

That is not a bad timeframe. I started 10 years ago but kind of lost the priority for a while. I am also the same with having mates in the industry but it is hard to secure their time since insurance work takes priority and its a bit cut throat these days. You need to pump out volume to earn a decent living.

I plan to do the same as you with the rear. I will note down "vinyacote" grey as i was going to ask on here what was the paint code for the rear. Also is the rear in 2 pac without clear?

Are you worried about the bats holding moisture?? Leading to rust.

The back is a semi gloss lacquer, will never carry anything so im not worried about it scratching

Im not concerned about rusting, all the seams have new seam sealer, there is rust primer and cavity wax, and heaps if it in there. New lower 1/4 panels so its pretty well water tight. Also the time I spent cleaning the underside....... it will never see rain and she sleeps in an alarmed heated garage
