Repainting the zxr on its way !

General Chat

Q:

Well the zxr has been brought to a mutual friend of mine and Tony.. Bruno two weeks ago. and yesterday i drove to Brussels to start the project, we removed bumpers, lighting, mirrors, well basically all trim.
In this process i swore to myself never to buy a eurocar again .. as there is NO rust!
Removing the stickers is a pain trough that took the better part of the day!
And i still debate if i want them on again or not..... we also started to remove the few dents it had .. all in all i can say it was productive day! and i got the Mini Cooper up to 200 (KMH) on the way back LOL

i know it is.. but the thing doesn't go much faster.. not bad considering it is only 1.6 liter weighing in at 1.2 tonnes!! (those minis are heavy for what size the are! )
