JVC Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 59 minutes ago, FINN said: Def wanna setup a place to paint. I have the gear, just need a new bigass compressor. I can find out. It is one of the best jobs I have seen. Threw it under my detailing lights and zero orange peel. What do you need painted on the Volvo? The whole fucking thing... Seriously though, I want to do a re-spray, willing to offer beer/money in assistance for a place to do it and could become a practice car if you want to give it a go! I don't quite have the space I need to paint in my garage without clearing everything out of there. It has crossed my mind more than once and I'm considering it but just cant quite bite the bullet and start doing prep work before I am sure how it would be painted or where it would be painted.

FINN Posted December 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thanks for stopping out Lucas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 How long are you back in OH for Lucas ? Just the holidays ? Looks good Val. I would suggest starting small on the paint. I do some paint (I did panels on my 59 VW and then decided to have the whole thing painted in its original color locally) and yes prep is everything but a clean, large space with good ventilation is essential. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure my business insurance would go up a bit if I declared I was painting in the shop. My nextdoor neighbor owns a body shop a minute away. I use him for personal and clients. First snow dumped over 5 inches yesterday. Super happy not having to shovel a driveway any longer. Got the studded winter tires on just in time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt b Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Lucky soul, I would not bother setting up any paint equipment if a neighbor had everything just 5 mins away. Can't say I miss the snow. Have fun with it though, go drifting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINN Posted January 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 Started mocking up a smaller racing sim. Not gonna do a crazy monitor setup since I'll get the next gen VR. Gonna upgrade to some more Fanatec gear also. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably going to outweigh bandit by a good amount since her paws are already the same size. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Riker Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 That puppy has almost comically large feet. Nice addition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINN Posted June 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2017 Meili is growing strong. Probably about 70-80lbs already. Also Tirerack finally delivered my new tires after a 5 week wait. Comical how sticky they are. Last set this good was some Falken Azenis I had. Also took my dad out for some high speed karting for fathers day. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuner4life Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 S70 Looks killer! I agree, those Indy 500s are about the best tire out there for the $. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FINN Posted June 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Thanks man. Got them with a $60 rebate card too. Probably why they were backordered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
