I love the thread, Can you post more Pics soon?

 

sure, heres 1


the undertray was zip tied on with WHITE zip ties since i couldnt find my black ones and the IC needs bent straight. i thought i had it right but i was wrong

 

heres another pic..
since this new house has SUCKY intraweb its hard to load pics
its a little dirty and i should have waited to take a pic after i cleaned it.

so should i go with black rims and polished lip or not??? any suggestions?
im not sure what i wanna do.

 

Great job... Black is hard to paint. The car is 180deg from where it was when you bought it..

You should really invest in an HVLP gun.. Saves so much material.

 

Get all 4 rims the color of the back ones and drop it

 

indeed. black is VERY hard to paint....well the prep was the worst for me...then having a cheap gun on top of it all didnt make it any easier...but thanks...IF i hav another project i will indeed use a better gun.

there is something about black rims with a polished lip. once i talk to my powdercoating people i will know what its going to be. i may use that same POR15 material for my rims also. and i will be dropping it but not much. just enough to fill the gaps. going to look into springs soon since i already have new shocks.

 

Awesome work! Just needs to sit lower.

 

Nice rims.

I say go for the black/polished lip. Gotta have some contrast.

What kinda wheels, I think they look legit ****.

 

definitely black w polished rims.

 

they were Ebay specials...i cant even remember the brand...cheapo's i bought for my 99 pontiac grand am. i got lucky and they fit...little rubbing up front in tight turns though..dont bother me much...just got to be careful.
tommorow morning ill go and see what the center caps say...
i think i paid 500 for these rims and tires shipped!

 

I'm trying to figure out where you live by your pics but I can't place it. Oh well,Glad to see it back on the ground. I'd do the black rims with the polished lip too. It is really hard to drop a car down around here do to the conditions of the roads. You go to low you're going to be ripping **** off quick. A little bit of drop will help it out alot. Good luck man. It's lookin sweet.

We've got a stalker!

hahahhaha

im right by where fox's auto sales used to be....big brown house with green roof...

 

Naw nothing like that man. I've known Tom for a long time. We went to high school together.I evenshowedhim out a couple tricks on the bodywork on his ride.

You around the corner there. 1st house on left? I'll have to stop by and look at it one of these days.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

 

I have a question. What tools and machinery did you use for the paint job? It looks really nice. And did you get the paint from a website?

 

lol, he showed me practically how to do the body work....thanks again! it has been a long time......

yep, around the corner 1st house on the left...
just check to see if the subaru is there and ill be home.


welder, nails, vice grips, bondo, sanding blocks, LOTS of sandpaper...the paint is from NAPA..its a black martin-senour paint, primer and clear. and a 20 gallon air compressor from sears along with a WALMART special paint gun.

 

No problem man any time. It's more fun when you have someone there helping ya out anyways.

I'm not sure when I'll be able to stop down but one of these days hopefully. Working all the time anymore.

 

i hear ya man!
we are still busy as ever====overtime!! $$$$$
hahahah!!

tonite since it was 60 some degrees here i pulled off the UIM and TB since my TB has been sticking for some reason...i will hopefully dismantle it and clean it....
i got a SPARE so if the springs are week i can replace them....

 

Any updates to this amazing build thread? I'm hopeing sometime soon I can get enough money and time to actually start a build like this. Yea paint and everything. Just reading and seeing pics of how you did it taught me a lot about it. Thank you THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH for what you did bringing this thread to life. Pics and lots of info from everyone is awesome.

I'm also loving how your paint and car came out. So, how is it so far? Still running strong? Sorry to revive an old thread but I just had to know.

 

get it tuned and get that thing on a dyno.

 

Monkay your a boost *****... :P

 

its great to see people actually care about this like i do!!
the snow is just holding me back right now. im counting the days untill i can get it on the road again. im thinking i may send the injectors out to have them balanced and cleaned for a safety measure while the UIM is off. i havent touched the car in a little while. i really whish i could. i have no garage anymore and its killing me.

WHEN i do get going on this project again:
new brace for the haltech TPS sensor, flowed and balanced injectors and ill get some foam from the hardware store to pack between the rad and support and other places to help the air flow.
other than that its on a stand still untill the snow goes away.

again, thanks for the interest and kick in the pants to get the ball rollin again!!

 

Yea, the snow really is a pain in the *** when it comes to cars. Sorry you dont have a garage anymore. That should be your project while it is snowing :P Build yourself a "garage" lol. If I was anywhere near you I would come out and help you build one cuz I know how it is not having one. I have a "2" car garage, but can only fit 1 car in there with al lthe junk we have

 

well..........
you guys are gonna hate me

i might have to put a hault on the car and sell it.....

 

quitter!
