Thanks for the props :goodjob:

One pic I forgot about and a midori green engine bay:

:crazy:

Brave man to weld in shirtless, with shorts, and between your legs! Ouch! watchout for the splatter!

The outcome is not up to par with SneezinCD5 so the bay will be sanded down and repainted in a paint booth. The dust and overspray was terrible. The initial plan was to paint the entire car in the garage, but not going to happen now. The average Joe would most likely be happy with the garage job, but too much work is going into this to settle for anything less than a clost to perfect paint job.

Enough jabber, here is the work:

Mixing it up:

If the garage door was lowered to the height of a 2' box fan, and you had 2-3 of them, and sealed the gaps between them, there would be a ton less trash in the paint. :/

Great color and great build. Has me wanting to start a full-stripped project.

....and the overspray would of been 10X worst. The trash is not that bad, it's the overspray that killed it. He just painted his hatch earlier in the week using the garage method. Had to open the door because the overspray was so bad that you couldn't even see the other side of the garage. After spraying for about 20 seconds the entire driveway was a big cloud of mist.

props to the in house work. looking very nice.

i like the hatch, clean car, that swap will be sick!!

HELP > Need to rent a paintbooth for 1 day here in the ATL area (preferbly I-75 south of 285)

Thanks again for the props :bump: No work done lately. I did pick up front GSR brakes so I can now order the 36mm Circuitworx hub adapters :bannana: Tried ordering them today, but kept getting a voice mail. I will try again Monday or Tuesday. Other than that, my seats are set to arrive Monday. Also recieved my 4pt AutoPower roll bar today :goodjob:

Hard to believe this paint job is not good enough, huh?

GSR front brakes up top Civic to the left:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._5486_rs32.jpg

I probably should of went with a custom cage with the amount of money and time being put into this build. But, the AutoPower bar has been proven to work and I don't plan to put the car on the roof.

The arrival:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._5477_rs35.jpg

I thought it was nicely packed in the cardboard box:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._5478_rs35.jpg

I was wrong :rolleyes:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._5480_rs35.jpg

At least it's not painted. Has a few small nicks which some sanding will take care of. We'll be laying gold paint down on the bar which should go nice with the MG :cheers:

http://i121.photobucket.com/albums/o..._5479_rs35.jpg

Weld on the bar:

Hardware which I may be looking to upgrade some of it:
