OK so new format and great updates!!!!
10/10/09: It was finally a nice day and I got my ass together enough to prime!!!! I got everything from eastwood, I'll post pictures later I forgot to take any. They give you a damm paint can to pour the epoxy primer out of what a freaking mess, cause this bitch is stuffed to the brime. Good stuff though sets nice and dries quick. I goofed with the first mix cause I was spilling and added a little to much activator, so it ran a tad. All and all good stuff. I only did the first coat today cause it was getting dark and late. I need to get a bigger container to maix this shit in so I an do a large batch and keep refilling istead of remaking more and more. Takes to long.
Sorry the pictures aren;t so great. They are form my Iphone and it is gett a tad dark. haha oh yeah, who likes my make shift paint booth?!?!
10/12/09: OK so today I finished the 7th coat of primer. 3 thin coats and 4 think heavy coats. I Primed 2 layers on the fenders and one on the side skirts. They both need to have the runs sanded tommorow and then 2 more coats for each. I also got the rest of all the suspension I ordered. Every arm with solid bushings I could find. Here's a picture, the front control arms are already painted gold. The rest are yet to be done.
11/4/09 So it has been alittle time getting shit done. I had to fill in and fix the rear bumper. Also the over fenders and bumper had to be altered, (Aftermarket bumper fit like shit on over fenders!!!) So that was all painted and fixed and put on, the rear hatch that origanal was wavy and a bit rotten cause of the retarted rubber lip on the back is gone and the metal is fixed. Both parts are now installed. The pictures are not the greatest but when I get a windowsheild in I will drop the tent and that will be easier for taking pictures!!
Hope ya like this bitching rear bumper!!! Uras type S I believe it is
11/23/09: Well guys I went out of order when it came to what I want to buy, but I found an excellent deal. I have been looking all over for a set of Rota P45R Wheels. The wheels themselves are not difficult to find but because of the front and rear overfenders I need very wide wheels with a low offset. The lowest offset you can buy on these wheels is +12, now if you what the 17's that is easy to find. But.............. I wanted the 18x9.5's and trying to get those in the +12 that was the hard part. I only found them on a fake looking website and they were the black with red strip....yuck! I kept looking and kept looking and was about to give up when I found a message board on Zilvia with a company that had them!!!! and in Hyper Black!!!!! WWW.WHEELDUDES.COM really hooked me up and with a great price also. Heres the pictures off the car right now, so enjoy.
12/1/09: So today I took down the make shift paint booth. Being in NJ and the unpredictable weather I decided if it snowed the weight ontop of the tent could mess shit up more than without it. I put the old windsheild in place and the old hood, and paint taped them in place. I then covered the car with a large sheet of painters plastic, then a car cover and tied it down so hopefully it won't get soaking wett or ruined.
