Please spare me the "rape van" jokes!

Having posted in another thread that I was in the process of repainting my car I suppose I have to show some pictures of how it went.

Before:


What problem is a little rust when your brother is a welder:


And the result so far:



Seriously considering adding red "go fast" stripes for that A-team look.

It's nice. Suffers from a lack of certain FALSE promises of sugary goodness, but other than that... 

Do you have to inform some authority or other about the color change, by the way? Because the guy next door painted his Ford all yellow, and he thinks he doesn't have to tell anybody. He can't possibly be correct, can he?

Looks like a nice fix up job, though it didn't look bad to begin with. I prefer the black paint.

That is nice! 

But you know what it needs?






Wow! You got your Remington 783 .308w, your black van, you're all set for...whatever it is that, Big friendly Vikings, and Resident Spymasters do. 

Asmo, there is no sugary goodness inside that van.

[Asmodean]

FALSE promises. FAKE goodness. WRONG.

[Recusant]

Looks good. She's now a sleek black beauty.

Good job! Definitely need to get the wheels shot blasted and resprayed.

I was going to look for hub caps as a short term fix. Only an idiot gets new rims, or refurbishes the old ones, just before a Norwegian winter.

Totally forgot where you live.

Sorry!  I made a white van joke before seeing this thread!

I managed to kill a rim or two during summer as well as winter. Well, scrape them up a bit, mostly. But yes, I think hubs with some red inside them. Then, get alloys and paint your calipers.

...Possibly a brushed steel radiator grille?

Chains, gravel sprinklers, road salt....

It's nice, but the controls are on the wrong side.  I find you see that a lot in Europe.

[Asmodean]

Yes, well... We out-grew them riding around with lances days.
