標題: Restoration on XC Hardshell Pajero
I got this about 2 months ago and I finally started the project.  When I first got it, I notice the front bearings are missing. This was painted in red/silver but it's terriable paint job.  The body is a little cracked around the bumper area.  the chassis is completed along with some melted plastic by the "resistor" area  And of course it needs some major cleaning as well as it has been sitting for at least 2 years without playing!  The gears are no good as well.

So first step was took it apart and starting to gather new parts at the same time.  With the help of E-bay I was be able to locate a new bumper set which was pretty torn.  Then new sets of wheels from "Chong Sing" for $140 a pair, $280 for a set!  Brand new gears was found on US Ebay but as it turns out it was sold under "Hing Kee" In Chung Wan so being a HKI guy, I have to drive all the way to Chung Wan and pick them up.

After everything was clean and oil shocks has been changed, everything on the chassis is back in original.  And now, it's the cover.

So up until yesterday, the body has been stripped.  It must have at least 5 coats of paint...  It took at good week just to strip all the paint off.. (with the help of my excellent Philippino maid, I want to thank her for doing this for me!!!

) and now waiting for some pudding and polishing and ready to prime and paint.

Now any suggestion on the color? I am thinking black with champang gold.........

It is right. Paint the silver color the last. Be careful now, the adhesion of silver (or any metallic colors) is not as good as other colors. If you apply masking tape on silver, it may tear off the color. Any color applied over silver color will also be easy to peel off too...

maybe u can make a clear coating on the top of the silver paint first.....but make sure the clear paint dry well.....must dry enough....dry for few days....then u may using the masking tape on la!!!
but just remind u......dun use any hair dryer to dry up the paint when u are using masking tape on any part of the body.......the heat may make the material in masking tape melt....stick on the body....make it all game over la!!!!
it's my own stupid expericence!!!!!

I actually ask my cousin who is in printing business to do it for me... But I guess any print shops should have that kind of service... But really it's only the kind of paper you are using that makes the difference. Otherwise, just find a high quality color photocopier and should do the job just fine....

Yes... you do need to find an original one to reproduce.... But of course, I can help you out with that... I have asked her to make me 5 copys!
BUT!
Wait until I see the actual product first... I haven't seen how different they are in compare with the original........

Ok people... Thanks for following up with my project. The Pajero is 99.9% finished. All it's missing is side mirrors (that I forgot to paint....

), Stickers (that I haven't received yet) and lights. But besides that, the whole project is almost completed!!!
One question though, as you can see the windshield and windows has been wear out pretty badly. In fact, it feels like a coating on top being set aside for so long. Does anyone know how I can get that coating off or I need new windows? Please advise!!

brother mike,

would u mind to tell me .......is it the lazer printed product???

dose it good enough ???

as i see....the faded color at the background paper is also found...i think it may be scanned into the computer and print.....

if not please kindly tell me the fact it is...because i'm also planning to re-pro the vintage decal for my car.......i've already got the jpeg files of the decals.....but have no ideas and such machine to do so.......please let me know...

also....if your decal is done by the similar method as i mentioned....maybe i can helped to make a better decal without the "background" yellow color........let's discuss......

作者: mikewu 時間: 2006-3-21 17:53
hmm....  As far as I know they just use the original to make color copies... (not scan and print)  that's why the "yellow" around the edge also shows.....  But I wouldn't mind because all I need is the sticker.  They are just about a hair darker than original but it shows pretty good in my standard.
My cousin also does professional lazer printing in her company.....  not sure how the qualitity is though....
But one time I ask her to print something which is downloaded from the net but she said normally online files are small and no good for printing.  (avoid long wait on loading time!)  So it better off find some printouts and make scans or color copy........

Guys!  Regarding the stickers.
There has been a technical problem.  The background of the stickers shows the color when you cut them.  Meaning that, besides the black "Pajero" license and the "Mitsubishi" Logo at the back that can be use, the others are junk becuase it doesn't have a clear background.  I need to figure out a better way to make it...
For those people who wants a set, give me sometimes to solve the problem and I'll reply to you!!  Sorry!

Brother alwaysnico, cong. with your purchase on the hard shell pajero. However, not to disappoint you, I was told that the windshield is one of the hardest thing to find for the pajeros... so better start your custom made windshield ready........... but all in all, let us know if you need anything brother as I have purchase some spare parts overseas as I was restoring my CC01s.. Good luck!

Mr. Mike Wu, I was thinking if it is possible that i could use the cheap cheap china made pajero replica windshield to fit on mine.
if the molding of the replica is copy from the tamiya one, it may have a chance to fit in. or else i can only custom made it......
by the way, Mr Mike Wu, May i ask you to spare one of your custom made sticker for me?
and I also would like to ask what kind of material u used for shaving the pajero body? is it some kind of spray on stuff? Many thanks!

I have never seen the cheap cheap copies but from what I recall the Pajero that the mainland made is a copy of the "newer Pajeros", meaning that it's the same one as the XB version. Now, the one you have is the "older Pajero" right? So you might not be able to use the window......

I think one of the brothers here has bought one so perhaps you can confirm with him.

In terms of the stickers, I am still trying to figure out a way to make it as right now the background is still white.  Meaning that the side stickers that says "3000 V6 Turbo Diesel" sticker is useless.  The only stickers I can make is the one on the spare tire, the tow hitch and the license plates...  But as soon as I figure out a way, I am more than happy to get you one of them.

When you say "shaving", do you mean getting the paint off the original or you mean like fix the scartches?  If you mean taking off the paint, I just the "paint removal" and simply use paint brush to brush the paint off.  Also I use "scrub foam" for larger surfaces as well..

Good luck and it's nice to see another Pajero get back to life again!!!  Please keep us posted!!!

The side windows can be made by plastic sheet. The front windshield has a curvature so better see whether the replica's can fit.
I got the new version Pajero replica at Ap Liu Street. The windshield is detachable. If you can't find one I can sell you one since I got 2.

Brother speedstar, the pajero you have mentioned is a newer model of pajero, I wonder if the windshield can fit.
Btw, I just got my PAJERO from Mr. Ian.... obviously mr. Ian like to run off road with this babe.....
haha. Anyway, The shell still in good shape and have no missing parts as I notice, which is a good news for me.
the body line over the roof and the hood area needed to be reshape and trimed....seems it 's gonna kill my whole annual leave!!!! Will keep you guys posted! Any suggestion for the new color and restoration, please advise ! Thanks bros!
