So I also decided to try doing a spray-out of colours I liked. I got a couple of cans of Duplicolor Emerald Green, hit my roof quite roughly with some 240-grit wet/dry and had a quick go just to see if it works how I thought.

Personally, I reckon the colour suits the big old barge quite well, especially as I hadn't even clear-coated in this pic!





I also made a stupid decision to air-sand the other half of the roof with a 6in orbital and 80-grit discs. That only took about 50 discs and half a day! haha



I also made a start on installing the Lokar column shift adapter to suit TH400 and mate up to the standard column in my car. While pricey this is a great kit and is going on the car super-easy. Unfortunately i didn't get to finish installing it before I had to pack up. Hopefully I'll be back up to my folk's place soon to finish sanding the roof and installing the shifter!




You guys probably aren't very interested in this, but 2 mates of mine run a show on YouTube called Mighty Car Mods. As I'm a professional motoring journalist they asked me to help them out writing, proof-reading and publishing their first book. They get millions of hits every week and they've done over 60 cars in the 10 years they've been making the show so it's a huge project and one I was stoked to be involved in. The book has just come out and I'm almost as happy to see it as I was to get the Poncho home
