quichedem 03-21-16 09:27 PM

I would advise removing as much stuff as you can before spraying anything. I'm sure you will re-upholster the seats, but aren't you getting overspray all over your dashboard and interior plastics? I wouldn't think scrubbing overspray off of all that stuff would be a good time. Your show though, brother. I'm just enjoying the ride.
Keep up the good progress. I come to the builds daily for this thread. Not the flashiest, but I bet I'll learn a trick or two.

bzebern 03-22-16 09:03 AM

no overspray on the dash I cover it with a towel I know how hard it is to remove it takes more time removing it than covering it

This is not the final stage im just tired of looking at it in different colors black white red blue this is still gonna sit for a while parts are scattered everywhere if its not in the car I already got a plan going on but I just dont have the money to to do it once I get the coilovers wheels tand ires then im gonna hit the engine bay

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1660/...b9369e32_z.jpg89 by nakahachi, on Flickr

its only a spray can so it off course it will still show filler marks but once the actual sealer is sprayed on 3 times it wouldn't show anymore

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1720/...b1ecfeea_z.jpg93 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1536/...fb474ddc_z.jpg103 by nakahachi, on Flickr

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1616/...e4545036_z.jpg101 by nakahachi, on Flickr

This thread is amazing. It's quite the inspiration for me to get off my butt and work on mine!

bzebern 03-29-16 03:51 PM

I probably have the worst fd out there i had found some descent ones after i bought mine and im still finding some more. But im already hooked on this one so keep moving forward. Some people strip a perfectly running car for no reason lol

I hope i could encourage all people to finish there car thats been sitting for a while
Just compare what i have to your car which is way easier to work with

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, literally. Thanks for documenting all the stuff you're doing on this build. Who doesn't love seeing an FD get resurrected from a sure trip to the junker?
