So a few weeks ago I was leaving the Tint guys house and I misjudged hiss driveway backing out and managed to put a slight crack in my front passenger side fender. Luckily there was no other damage surprisingly and the crack was minor. So I finally got around to fixing it today.





I repaired the crack by first applying Fiberglass and resin to both sides along with a light skim coat of filler on the outside and primed 3 coats.







Once all the Body work was done, sanded and smooth I took it in the booth and blended the color and its like brand new.



Finished product

God, it must be awesome doing your own body work.

How long did it take you to pick up and where/how did you learn?

Car looks AMAZING. Final transformation blew me away.

Hey at least you can fix it all yourself!

I went to WyoTech for custom auto body and Chassis Fab and dont regret it at all. I had someone key my MDX and I ended up doing a full color change (Jambs and engine bay) and walked away with a few extra thousand to put into my 240sx at the time.

So a few months ago I had a water leak issue in the FD that soaked my old tan carpet.. So I finally had an excuse to start the transition to black interior, well whats left of it because it is going to stay mostly gutted. But I finally got the black carpet in!



Next on my list is a silver cage to match my Work Meisters and feed shift **** along with red Recaro Pole Position seats DDD

Soo as I continue with the project I realize I am bored with car shows. They are stupid so Its time to change some things up and hit the track! I really like the old Feed kitted Craft company FD so I am going to start designing and with the help of my good friends at Bubble Tech make some cool new aero for my FD. Similar to the CC FD..



I also will probably set the Meisters aside for yet another set of TE37SL's... The tough part is which color. Pressed Graphite like my previous set or Pressed double black? Really tough decision

Had a buddy photoshop me some new lights on my FD too bc frankly I am tired of the 99 spec lights as well. It just so happens a buddy of mine just started making custom LED lights for FD's and FC's. I think they look dope even better then CarShopGLow. So these will definitely happen in the future!

Fancy Logic Lights



Since I am all hype about lights I also got a new cluster. I have yet to see anyone do this in an FD so I hope I am the first. Along with it being the First I am going to modify the LEDs to white in the cluster from Orange
