ndv Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago @nicklesndimes is it just me, or does the bottom of the 'L' tapper? It looks wider midway thru at the bottom than the top. Not trying to call you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndv Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago (edited) ok I am curious, why did it splotch like that on the other side? The stencil pulling paint? If you can re-do, try removing wetting the mask with water first, like after the paint is dry, pour water on the mask then slowly remove it.

Mauler5150 Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago I am on the train heading to the beach to take advantage of the endless summer we are having here. Plus given I have an oustanding fine from parking there overnight, best to take the stealth option today to avoid getting towed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago looking up parts for the hyundai 130 2009 model we have and have decided to sell. it's got very low kilometres so I think we might be able to snag a couple grand for it. Just annoying shit to fix. The gas struts holding up the hatchback The windscreen trim on the right hand side. wondering if i drop a grand to fix these various things that will give it more appeal and maybe add a couple grand to selling price. And get it detailed thoroughly. wife is out driving it due to it having flat battery. so I'm oontzing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not invest any money into it if you plan on selling it unless that investment is necessary to get the car running. “Maybe add a couple of grand to selling price” is a big maybe and maybe will not become reality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iwas going to sell it for a grand but looking at cars of similar vintage with much more mileage the average price is about 5-7 grand. total cost of components to 100% add is about $170.00 Maybe a mobile mechanic for oil change/make it go brrrrrrmmm better and a detailer to hide my wife's best parking efforts. you're most probably right. @LUGR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LUGR Posted 11 minutes ago Share Posted 11 minutes ago If it’s just $170 of materials I would consider doing it. That’s not bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
