Skeletor Buildup
 

Ill start this thread to show the work being done on my project FC, Dubbed Skeletor...

pics of chassis after the first round of being dismantled....

What are your plans for the car? Are you gonna paint it blue, purple, and a tad of yellow like Skeletor? :D

haha i think the moniker came form the stripped nature but i do want to do somthing to pay homage when its finished. i think ill put this logo on the fornt fenders kinda where the 10thAE's have thiers

THere's only one tru skeletor and he's a mummified cat!

Now that is a stripped car!

Keep us updated!

heres pics from before it was primered and the interior stripped a bit more...

you all may hear diffrent methods on how to remove sound deadening and padding cleanly, This method however- i dont think i would highly reccomend:

LOL, yeah I don't think I would try this on my car...
You should get this airbrushed onto the hood.

You'll like the way the car feels after you install those bushings. They can make a world of difference.

im also going to get the MRR bushings for the diff/and subframe as well as the DTSS eliminators... now i just need to find some SS lines, swaybars and coilovers lol

So ive been working on the energy suspension install, and the MRR diff and sub frame bushings should be here soon, ive been terrible about taking pictures lately. But ill have some to post next week.

So i finally got my S5 sub frame dismantled and am ready to start cleanup, along with a T2 Diff:

After a bit of sandblasting things start to look nicer...

ok it has been FOREVER!! but the car is starting to be painted and pics will be up soon.

I totally thought that this was going to be about the cat! I cried from laughter.:icon_tup:

Oh yeah, and cool build-up OP!

Bah, the link doesn't work anymore. :(

So... here is a pic of the Skeletor buildup:

Stay tuned for some during and after (as far as straightening) pics along with some painted ones and installed.

hey some pics that actually pertain to my car!!

Here are some more pics - Progress is happening now. I have the driver door 90% done, just minor touching up on small areas like around the window holes, etc. Same thing with the fenders and pass door, although I am thinking a little bit more filler may be needed on the bottom corner. Havent done anything to the bumpers yet but it will be happening in the next day or two. I really feel like I have to bust this out fast or this thread will fall off page 2, and never to be seen again....

The last pic, of the fender - somehow is straight... Weird.

Man this thread is slow, from total tear down to one year later and just now body work started hehehhehe labour of love I suppose!

you are a patient man.

longest buildup ever..

This buildup consists of the work of multiple people. We all have different work schedules so it makes it difficult to get parts arranged for delivery, etc. Also there is a rather large mileage gap between us and that doesnt help much.

Money is also an obstacle undergoing such a large venture.
