I am making big progress in the month I have owned this car. It should be fully prepped for paint by thanksgiving. The car had been spray painted in several spots before and not in others, so Im unsure weather to sand all the way to metal or simpy the original paint, it varys so much its hard to tell where its got several layes of paint and where it has barely any.

Im considering filling in the bolt holes for the door vents and leaving it open for a more agressive look, are there any grills within there to prevent animals from getting insidE?

 

nice i am going to be doing the same thing to my car soon

 

Working on where car had hit it




Here is a good view of the dent before I fixed it, and it was all bondo so I had to remove it and pull the dent out, of course I had to put bondo on top again but it was half of what it was before.

 

cool what else are you going to do to it?

 

soon as the paint is completly done its getting Tokico adjustables, springs, and konig rewinds. When thats done its getting 13b. And a nice set of tailights, mine are cracked I want some like new ones

 

looks good!

 

My taillights are like brand new, but i'm keeping them. What color are going to paint the 7? I broke two bolts from my taillights to take them off by overtightening them. Can i get new bolts to hold the nut or would i have to get a new tailight?

 

Which door vents are you refering too? The ones on the B pillar by the rear 1/4 glass? Those are the exits for the sunroof drains for the 2 rear drain tubes.

 

yea those

 

13 BEEF makes those in cf. PM him, you need to screw the bolts in tho to have the grill there. 1st gens came stock with grill like things for what you're talking about

 

I know I have them. I just wanted to leave them off and fill the bolt holes for a more agressive look. I was just wondering mostly if leaving the grill things off had any negative effects.

 

heres an update on stuff

 

Looks good, kinda reminds me of what my project looks like right now, and what my other car looked like a year ago.

 

looking good. You doing all the body work yourself? I am gonna need a little work done on mine if you can help. Pm me.

 

I knew i seen it some where. Yea it looks good you wanna dom my body work?

 

Car looks great!! Did you do any work in the subframe.

 

To do a proper job on the paint, you should have removed the door hancles, locks, tail lights, turn signals and masked off the plastic surrounds on the headlights. Other than that, looks very good.

 

^ These pictures are after I put the trim back on. I put it in primer to prevent any rust while it sits and I prep it for turbo for a few months. Ill paint it when all the engine work is done.

I took off the taillights, the headlight surround, the fenders (to paint the frame), the turnsignals and left the handles cause I wanted them to be the same color as the car.
