Here are some pics of the progress on Jim's car.

I took a couple before pics - but the lighting at the time crappy so only a couple turned out decent (should've taken some pics outside I guess - hehe)

 

The pics of the holes are before and after's of the rear wiper and rear squirter on the hatch.......the hood squirters still need to have the aluminum panel bonded, that will happen tonite.

The car will be ready for the spot priming tomorrow - wheel wells are getting rolled today - and there is only a couple more minor dents to level out before it gets its primer.

 

One more of the squirter on the hatch finish welded...

Rear wheel wells getting rolled...

a couple little patches were required on the front edges where they were rusty.

 

Cool. Keep those pictures coming. I need a paint job too but one day I might get it done

 

Yeah looks awesome, but damn all rx7's seem to rust in the same place.

 

Looks good Joe....I'll try and stop by on Staurday

 

Saw your car the other day Jim when i was up at Joes shop. Cant wait to see it with that wet look when done!!

 

Awesome! cant wait to see the finished product

 

I smell a group buy,


sometime next year Joe?

 

What do you need Joe to paint your silver bullet for, we'll just break out the spray bomb cans again and touch her up

 

Seeing how youll be up that way, you should swing by my place. Joe will be comming over on saturday to do some secret work to my baby. Call me and ill give you directions, or just follow joe if your there when he heads to my place.

 

Joe,

What is your business phone number? I"m interested in getting some body work done.

-Mainly to straight or replace the rad support.
-Strip old paint from spare S5 bumper, paint it white, install.
-Straighten out whatever is not straight.
-Remove bad bondo job on passenger lower fender or replace with a new fender. -Pull out door dings.
-Fill in hole where power antenna went through.
-Paint and install a Feed Front Lip


You or I can supply parts. I got a mazdaspeed motorsports sponsorship...

basically fix all the f'ups from bad body shops the car has seen in it's 17 year life.

Can you give a bunch of buisness cards to Jim? I'll swing by and grab one from him later.

She got the splash late last week and is deep into the buffing now.

 

Those were pre splash pics.


one is the car in the booth (had some junk on the lens I guess) one is of a finish buffed fender - before final polish - just to show the clarity of the paint.

 

^^^^^that exact car will be mine one day^^^^^There I've said it, now it shall be done.

 

Good Shawn it's about time!

 

Can't really tell from the picture, but did you just fill that antenna hole with bondo? If so you will be sorry. It needs to have a metal patch welded first and then bondo it. Otherwise in one to two years the moisture will get into it and rust will begin to show through. Autobody rule of thumb is... if it is a hole weld it... if it is a dent fill it with bondo.

 

Antenna is still there... but he did remove the rear wiper and squirter as seen in the first set of pictures in the thread and the rite way I mit add.....

 

I like. I wonder if Jim will still drive the car in the rain.

 

car looks great Jim but now with all this paint your gonna be even slower than me now LOL

 

Well I don't drive it all that much, but if it gets some rain drops on it so be it.

ps. I need a ride to pick it up on Thursday...you around?

 

Yup...Joe's doing a great job...I hope I'll never be as slow as you, Bring it to the track and we'll talk....

 

can't wiat to hit the track this year!

It's been a long process this winter and it's gonna all pay off very soon

 

Good job Jim. I look forward to seeing It slick.

 

Huh, whats about time? You back on the crack again Brad lol
