wish i had a winter project... no money, and the coldness is a mood killer. hopefully in the next few coming weeks the cold weather will break and i can finally get the car on the road again.

sanded and polished all the parts that I painted earlier in the week, this way the orange peel, or rather lack of, will match the rest of the paint on the car. I polished them and stored them safely in the coupe for now as I cant put them on until I get the rest of the car done.
Sanded my aluminum hood that I got to replace the steel hood, I guess I went full circle with the car now, back when I originally painted the car I could not afford a new alum. hood or find a used one, so I put a brand new steel hood on, now its time to go back to aluminum. Im going to cycle this in my friends spray booth so that the primer really gets a chance to cycle hot and cold, block sand it, and re-prime it, block sand it again then paint it.
I also sanded my new fenders, they come with e-coat on them, which you can just scuff and paint right over, but I chose to prime them so that the whole car is refinished identical.
Also modified my front bumper, I used structural urethane to adhere another piece of bumper behind the cut outs, this doubled that area up and will prevent it from warping later on. Cut out some of the lower part as well, I have some really nice stainless steel mesh that I might put in the opening, but I will decide that when I put it on the car after its painted.
Im going to have to put things on a hold for a week or so as I have a big job coming in the shop so I wont have the room to have my junk sitting around, got to pay the bills first- play second. I think the next thing I will do is remove my doors to get rid of the chip guard, and while they are off spray the jambs.

Brake reservoir was leaking, searched and from aaron cake said to use hose clamps.
I just topped off the brake fluid, so far not a single bit of fluid has leaked out

To the op Rob XX 7 ... Did you just respray brilliant black?
My winter project includes 250hp on stock turbo, bringing a bnr stage 2 into the mix sometime in late spring shooting for 300hp as a final goal. I have a greddy fmic ready to go in, 680cc gsl-se injectors, momo race steering wheel, and shine auto body kit. Still need koyo s4 rad, apexi twin chamber bov, apexi air filter, rtek 2.1, clean and flow test the primary injectors and gsl's. Followed by a dyno and tune. The car is getting resprayed brilliant black in april.
Currently i'm looming up all the wires for the gauges. When I ghetto installed my defi boost gauge and plx wideband I just threw them in. Now there's wires all over the place and just tiding it all up.

when I painted the car I mixed fast blue tint into my black, creating a darker black. It gets rid of that slight brown or red look that black gets when the sun hits it.
No code- its just in my head, at the time I measured by volume not weight, I have the ratio written down at work
