pics of my fc
 
Well, I finally got some pics of my car that I've had for several years. These were taken with my cell phone camera. So they're not high quality, but they hide how bad the paint is. Also took a couple of my cup-holder mod.

auto? oh well.

Could work for stick maybe just turned around so the cup sits in the back :)

domesttuner 03-21-04 11:03 PM

that's what i thought...maybe i'll do that

Flobb 03-21-04 11:48 PM

yeah, it could be turned around. but for a big soda like that it would still suck for a stick. it fit's car cups like that and 12oz cans perfect, but bottles are too big.

and now since I was bored over spring break it looks like this
both the paint jobs you see were done with rattle cans

how did u do the rattle can, just stary spraying?, or did u remove each panel?

Only pieces I removed to paint were hood, sunroof, tail lights, and head light covers.
I could have done the hood without removing it, but I did so I could get the hood jams better and I painted most of the underside of the hood.
For the rest I basically did it panel by panel over a period of four days. My fingers hurt after spraying a lot. It took me about 15 cans.

edit: I took the mirrors off too. and that list doesn't include pieces I took off so they wouldn't get painted; like head lights, ftps, signal covers, and door panels.

planning a 5MT swap?

Flobb 04-05-04 01:56 PM

Don't plan on doing a swap. I'll just stick with it untill I buy another car. I graduate college in May and I plan on getting married next year or early '06. What kind of money I end up making will probably determine whether I go for an RX-8 or an FD, which I wouldn't mod very much. But the idea of a nice TII with mods to give it 300-350hp will always be on the back of my mind.
