I own a 1994 Suzuki Swift GA, no power house but fun as hell to drive. Anyways, I didn'e get a chance to take a picture of the damage that was done to the car before work was completed. I had a massive dent in the hood, a bullet hole behind the drivers door and a few dents here and there. Dont worry, I dont live in a bad nieghborhood or anything, my cousin owned this car before I did and got caught up in drugs... so my grandfather, as the co-signer, had to take over payments. After paying it off, gave it to me (free of charge hehe) for Christmas... The picture below is with my rims installed. The wheels I had before where 14' with hubcaps.

Just a little bit about my car- It is a 5 speed (I love it), manual brakes, manual steering, manual windows, manual mirrors. Basically, my car is the definition of "Manual". Most people think that because it's has manual steering, it's harder to turn. Well, not if your moving. When your sitting still it can be a little hard, but once them wheels are rolling, your good to go. Plus I love the fact that I am in complete control of my at ALL TIMES.

The above picture is the stock bumper for a 1994 Suzuki Swift. I didn't like the 2 plastic bars that reached from side to side below the licanse plate. So, I got the dremel tool and went to town.

Beginning in December, me and my dad began to sand, bondo, sand and bondo some more to get my car ready to paint. After completeing the ever long body work, we coated it with primer and shot some paint on it. We started out with a Midnight Blue. After applying the paint and moving the car outside to the sun to see any imperfections, we found that the paint was streaky. After some head scratching, we seen that the paint we had was like 70% transperent so need less to say, this paint was ment for a paint both and not your home garage. So I bought the new Atlantic Blue color and sprayed again after even more intense sanding. The pictures below is the process of being painted.

Repainted it Ford Atlantic Blue...

Peeled of the paper and tape to revel the finished project.

After cutting the plastic bars (as talked about above) out, My dad brought home some stainless steel grid and we used the plasma cutter to cut to shape in order to fill the gap. Needless to say, me and him both had one hell of a time to get the steel to conform to shape. If you look closley, you can see where the grid bends to folow the holes for the factory fog lights. That curve was a b****. We also replaced the standard plastic grill uner the hood with steel as well. All we hade to do was transfer the pattern and leave it at that.
