Booger Mobile is PAINTED!!

But where is it? Sadly, there were a few issues with the paint on the roof (bubbling apparently due to the humidity when Scottie and Damian laid on the undercoat), so Trent from Drift Bodyworx is going to respray the roof before Booger Mobile is allowed to be taken home...

HOWEVER...

Wow... and again WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's a sneak peak of Booger Mobile in all it's painted glory!!




The boot, doors and trim bits were all able to be brought back to Damian's house. Here's a shot of the bootlid to demonstrate how the colour seems to change depending on the light. The first picture was taken with the flash on...




while the second image was taken using only the lighting in the shed...



And here's a shot of three of the doors lined up waiting for Booger Mobile so they can be reattached!! Again, note the differing colours depending on the flash/lack thereof...




Hopefully (fingers crossed everyone!!) Booger Mobile will be able to be brought home on Tuesday, so Scottie and Damian can commence reassembly!

The photos above really don't do the superb colour and paintwork justice - make sure you get yourself along to the Nambour Swap Meet on Saturday July 25 2009 to check out Booger Mobile in the flesh (well, metal)!!

  3. Hey all...
    Trent from Drift bodyworx done a fantastic job on the top coat of colour. Pitty things did not all go to plan but it was not Trent's fault, it was just one of those things in the painting game. Trent however is onto it and it will be fixed in no time at all, he realy is a top bloke and going by the panels picked up a top painter as well.
    Nambour swap is basicly a big flea market of car parts ect, and is located at the Show grounds Nambour. Also I think it is 2-$3 entry.
