I'm definitely still watchin lol. can't wait to see how this all turns out.

 

It's coming along great!! What color are you going with - original black, or something custom?

 

Making good progress from the looks of it. Keep at it!

 

Lol!! Thought everyone forgot about me and my junker 😁😁

 

Thanks! I'm thinking a bit of custom black... I'm thinking like a pearlescent black, blueish/goldish kinda pearl imbedded In the black paint... I'll take a pict of the paint chip tomorrow and post it up.

 

Thanks!! Now that's almost done it's the real nightmare... I'm exhausted and really can't stand the sight of the car... I just wanna be done with it...

 

Now for the update...

I finally have both sides prepped for fine wet sand (that's what you do before painting) and tomorrow I'll do the hood and finish the rear of the car. I ordered a new 06 front bumper which hopefully comes in tomorrow so I can put the front of the car together.

Here are some Picts of today's progress.

I kinda like the way it sits...









After the first coat of primer you spray flat black and then block the whole thing looking for imperfections... Easier to correct them now than after paint 😁

Mind you. I'm half was blocking that side...





After you are done blocking then a second coat of primer is applied and also second layer of flat black and it's ready for wet sanding.











As you can see I started the back of the car... I'm missing everything from both quarter panels, trunk lid, bumpers, hood and the roof. Sounds like quite a lot but that's like 2 days work.

I'm thinking about 20" rims and maybe sustec coilovers, I'm in the market for a nice set of coilovers sub 800 dollars doesn't matter if they are used or brand new as long as they work fine.

As usual
I'll keep you guys posted and any ideas please let me know!!

 

Wow amazing progression. Awesome work keep it up.

 

Thanks!! As I say to myself "keep it together, you're almost done" lol!!

Hopefully my new bumper comes in today and I get more stuff done.

 

Keep it coming!

 

Working on it!!

Also my new bumper just came in.

So no more looking like this..:


And new bumper...





I'll post later to show the progress.

 

nice progress but youre going to regret going cheap on those arms... i did the same thing to save money and they squealed after a week and broke after a month.. you may not have the same experience as i did though, well i hope you dont

 

WOWW... really nice write up ..
whene i had my sedan in the shop i had them remove the door molding that go on each door .
under them there will be holes left but those can be welded over . and it gives the sedan a much cleaner looking side .in my opinion ..

not a great pic . but you get the idea ..



edit to add better side view :

 

Awesome keep it bro, lookin good

 

Hopefully they won't break that fast but I'm actually saving up to upgrade to a real camber kit and coilovers system, around February I should be installing some good parts 😁
