Depends what POR15 you use . . . some are designed to be overpainted, some as a top coat.
I've never had any issues myself and mine's been on the car over two years so far . . .
the basic rust preventitive paint will discolour but it takes a long exposure to uv to do so
the stuff i have on the on the car ie in the garage are fine but bits and bobs ive had under the shed window inner fenders ect have greyed a lot

whats the crack getting these barstewards in ? is there a tool or something ?
A ball-joint press.
Any garage will have a press to do it and should only charge beer money if it's already off the car and there for them.
You could show it to a vise but you risk damage. (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)

That's looking pretty sweet, all round drum brakes
No chance of a front disc conversion
every chance mate but at this time to buy the kit and get it here will cost a grand so its drums and careful braking for now til i have spare wonga
Quoting: Andy
What name would that sort of front end have? Is it a single wishbone jobby? Also, do old cars not have shocks at the front?
I'd describe it as double wishbone, independent front suspension.
The shock feeds up through the lower wish bone, inside the spring bolting to the subframe.
Very similar to the suspension on my 2nd gen.

have been told to paint it black
Noooooo......................!
IMHO it will just be another black American car, I really don't think that black will show off the lines and details very well (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/chiny.gif)
I think you need a dark metallic colour, but I'd go dark green, dark purple or even a dark brown (http://www.mkb.cc/forum/smileys/wink.gif)

+1 on green. A nice dark metallic, with silver stripes
the hood is the wrong shape to do stripes which is a shame plus stripes are a camaro thing really
Rocky has suggested 2nd gen Brewster green which is looking favourite its the right look i want and of the period

A badass one word response that can be applied in a variety of situations.. for example: hello, goodbye, yes, no, f*ck yea, its a good possibility, i agree with what your saying, lets do it, that's a nice flower blazer your wearing, what are you doing tonight, that could potentially be gay but im gonna go along with it, i don't feel like paying 5 extra dollars so were getting keystone, ect.
