I picked up the car and put it all back together again. The respray isn't perfect, you can see bog lines, sand paper scratches and where the clear coat on the bonnet had originally peeled off. However, it is under warranty, the job wasn't suppose to be a showroom finish and you only notice these things if you look for them....so dont :P
i then decided to hunt down some cheap dynamat, no way i was going to waste money on the RRP. The boot had to be the first thing to try dynamat on. The original factory sound dampener was hard and crumbling, considering it is 19 years old, it was expected. So i scraped and picked what i could off and sprayed some anti rust/primer to help stop the little amount of surface rust i had in the wheel bay. i then applied the dynamat, into the wheel bay as well

It seemed to quiet things down alittle, the exhuast wisn't annouying at 100KM anymore. So what do you think i did next? stripped out the interior, scraped out all the factory deadener i could from the floor pan and slapped on some dynamat to the roof, sun roof cavity and floor (upto the firewall).

Yup, theres even dynamat under the rear seat carpet. While the seats were removed, i went and hired a rug doctor with the upholstery attachment and some chemicals. it seems to have worked well. It only cost me about $85 to do the whole interior and i have some chemicals left over. i'm really impressed with the results.

I'm still yet to figure out what to do with the roof liner, it has holes in it and just looks like crap. so i moved onto the outside again, spent $100 on paint and a few other bits. i masked up the bumber strips and painted them, removed the wipers and repainted them black too, replaced the rear wiper fingers just because it was easier to do that than respray it.


The silver pin stripe fell off 10 min after the photo so i had a professional (i shall call him Darren) install it with some non-repco pin stripping. I also had the same guy slap on some GT stickers on the front fenders and make up a sticker advertising the panel and paint shop for the back. Darren made it perfectlty, it matches the rest of the car and looks like it rooled out of the factory with it already stuck on, quite impressed. As for the dot fade under the bumper strip, it is not being made anymore. however Darren managed to find a close replacement, just the dots are a little bigger and its still EOL, but just like the paint, you wont notice unless you look for it.
