    They don't need painting if you ask me. They look fine. Just get some new screws and you're sweet dude.

    Boat shops are a good source of Stainless Self Tapping Screws.

    Keep up the good work.

    AHAHHAHA!
    i didnt even notice the screws to be honest, it was just the monent i suppose. the mirrors were really dirty and cleaned them for an hour haha. but i doubt they need a spray, they are in good condition.
    All it needs now is jsut the door rubbers in and a back bumper and some other little touches. Wash it all and clean it down and im ready for DUBFEST.

    Can anyone please tell me what kind of carbi this is??
    im told its a performance carbi and is bigger than my old one. although still have no idea if it is VERY good or just a slight bit better. i looked at it but all i can see is that it says WEBER. and thats about it.

    looks kind of like a DGV Weber to me mate

    they are a good replacement for the stock solex.

    However if you want a REALLY nice carb you need 1 or (even better still) 2 x DCOE Weber's or the equilvalent Dellortoe's. They are worth it for the sound alone!

    It takes 10 min and they will be in perfect condition and stay shiny for a long time. I can see the cracks on the base bit. Whats the harm?

    maybe he is happy with how it is?

    It probably would be a go considering his car is so clean, but its his choice.
