[TwoPointOhh]

UPDATES!!! hurray!!! keep'em coming...

[Fuster_Cluck]

Thanks again for the props guys. You guys are putting me in a bind when you say, "I'm coming to Nopi just to see this car". Damn that is truely flattering and so I must get her running before 2nd week of Sept

Here's some pics from my bro. The car is down in Central Florida now and they wasted no time going to work on her:



That's my bro's friend Jose. Said to really know his $hit!! I was told he marked the low/high spots on the roof and the way the circle is going represents the way the spot moves. ....or some $hit like that



A lot of black circles on her:





I've been told the doors are already blocked / completed. Jose is working on the rear hatch today which has the largest dent and also welding the key hole shut

I still have about 30 pics I will post either tonight or tomorrow from the day she left me :p

Thanks for the props and looking

You want update, well here you go

I present the final session before she left the LG:

Session 037:

My bro was on his way up from Central Florida and I still had some things to take care of. First thing I jumped into stripping the rear hatch:



Remove the 2 screws to remove the latch mechanism:



The mechanism:



Of course I had to strip one of the screws The damn thing would not come. Ended up tearing my skin at the finger with the grip of the screwdriver



Drill it:



2 screws hold the open lever in place:



Key hole lock (being deleted):



Remove the 10mm and out she comes:



That's all there is to the key lock:



Decal removal:



Emblem removal (thinking about deleting this as well):



After you have worked the razor blade all around the emblem to break it free pry with a flattip screwdriver and use your finger to pull it free:



Removed and dirty:



Then I removed the EX lip from the bumper:



Ready to roll out:



Needed to remove the door light switch:



Remove the screw:



and out she comes:



Then I needed to remove the roof water rails.

I pushed it forward from the back:



Twist it toward the inside of the car:



and they will come loose:



Mad downforce with the VTAK from the k20:



My older bro, his Turbo beast, and a soon to be NA beast:



Loaded up:



Getting lunch at the Subway before he heads out:



Heading out:



On I-75 heading to Central Florida:

[puregroove]

+ reps til I can't:::

[cactusEG]

this has to be the best build thread ever

[jdogg319]

agreed

this has to be the best build thread ever

[Humphrizzle]

I know where to get one, I'm just unsure which one that is. Thanks for the help though.

[Fuster_Cluck]

I believe the roll bar is the race version since the diagonal bar is welded in.

Thanks for all the props.

The plan was to paint the car tomorrow (Sat), but the new OEM hood and bumper will not be in until Wednesday. So, the paint will be laid down on the 18th (Sat). Puts me a week behind, but she'll be done before the show

Update!!!

Just got done with the exterior and almost done with the interior. Welded some holes that were for the rear seats and seat belts and filled in some other spots. Doors were done last week thanks to Jose taking them home. He's put as much effort into this car as all of us.

Jose working his magic







My bro SneezinCD5 welding up the seatbelt holes:



Grinding the welds down smooth enough to wipe some filler on them:



Wiping the filler:



SneezinCD5 doing some sanding (He's a painter)



Whats left for me to do





Gonna finish everything up and shoot some 2K primer on the ext. and int. More updates coming later today or tomorrow......

Thanks guys for the feedback

More to come.......

[aaronfelipe]

[Fuster_Cluck]

[Humphrizzle]

Yeah, that's true.

Reps because I'm bored.

[jdogg319]

lookin good keep the updates coming

[Fuster_Cluck]

Finally 2K'd the car. Interior came out really smooth. No more scratches,looks brand new again. Next is to block it all down to get it ready for paint next Sat

Shot some SEM high build primer so we could wash everything down without getting the filler wet.









We were starting to wash the car down when this guy rolled up and wanted to check out my work. He lives down the street and wanted us to take a look at his car and see if we could reshoot it for him. (very clean for its age)



Modori Green FTMFW :





Washed up ready to shoot:





The 2K that we used.



But before we shot the primer I tacked everything down.



Windows masked along with wheel bags



Started shooting the interior. (Yes I put on a respirator)



Jose shot the exterior:



This is how she looks as of now. Very happy with how she looks so far.











Still have 2 very little dings in the driver rear 1/4 that we need to fix but other than that its all good.

Thanks for looking

[WhiteAccord]
