89RX7Tll <-----------hahaha I find it funny that out of just about everyone on the NW 7 CLUB, like the way it looks. They got nothing but postive comments unlike you and your neg feed back....

If you dont have anything nice to say, then go spend your free time off of here and with that garbage wagon of yours.....

that sucks how crap-drenalin has screwed u over, and the guy with the neg comment, spend half the amount of time grae did doin his stuff, and half the ISH he does for the 7 community before u start raggin bout his car. if u ever need bodywork done i know a great shop up in burien, great turnaround time too, looks good though grae, keep it up!

Did you just remove the bump-strip and then fill it with bondo? The reason I ask is that every car I have ever seen do that has had it end up with a crack. The best way to go is to weld in a strip of metal and then do the seams with bondo. It's the only way I've seen that won't end up with a split down the road.

Lookin good though, you're doing some good work!

LOL... underneath all that pink bondo is few applications of duraglass my friend! anyone who's ever used this knows it is puuurty tough stuff... when we dried a fat chunk on the tip of a screw driver, it took my huge bench vise to smash it.... and even then it was hard.... stuff is like concrete! Anyway, Ive was gonna do just that ( weld in metal then fill) but im 100% confident that this will hold for a lifetime... ( but if it doesn't, you have my permission to point and laugh at my miserable existence)
1)duraglass
2) filler
3) glaze
4) high build primer
5) my arms hurt from sanding... ( still )

.... thanks for the props folks!

A fun photo, primer still glossy.. the fc sleeps ominously in the dark...

im not sayin it didnt take alot of hard work ive done damn near the exact same thing to a civic before but just because it was a lot of work doesnt mean it looks good that ricy rear bumper doesnt even match the "feel" or bodylines of the car............... so very nice work you but you should be working on hondas.

.... and since it is a BUILD thread....

Heres a few photos to show some of the latest work... sadly the adrenaline goof ***** left the car with some tragic body lines... ( which some folks have been happy to point out- the extremely obvious) )

These 2 pics show the before and after of the rear quarter panel areas, specifically the area in front of the rear tire where the side skirt met the rear fender... the "before" has a nasty kink which kills the body line.... the second photo shows the "after", which smooths it out and helps it flow a lot better! many thanks to Andre the Giant on this area!

Wow! Its so straight..... I guess that kind of perfection is expected from a guy (Andre) who was awarded top of the line IWATA gun, for being the best in his class......
