    Default complete make over/build

    well it started out as a motor swap now its turning into a complete new build for my car.

    2 weeks ago i spun a bearing in my h22 from my lude


    so i got to work


    i had to wait on a hoist and axle socket before i could pull the motor (thanks josh)



    now this week end waiting on my motor to get here, ive been bored so done some TLC things

    painted the OEM wheels bronze


    painted the trim around my factory gauges to match my pod gauges


    then last night i got a good deal on a carbon fiber hood and a greddy front lip



    then i got my new fender on and getting it lined up so the car can get ready to paint next week

    2nd. I like the big Greddy logo for some reason. Take it as a hint to throw a big Greddy turbo on there

    Are you repainting the entire car?

    all dents are one did some rear 1/4 word, pulled out the dent, and had to use a smigen of bondo cause of a crease. but looks good. all primed up, tomorrow is sanding, and possibly taping off, and sunday it gets sprayed!

    the ones on the door are bondo covered with dupont filler primer.

    the one on the rear 1/4 there was a creased dent. welded things to it and pulled it out, then swipped bondo over the creased part, then sprayed filler primer.

    bondo isnt used for deep dents. if you try to use it, then it will crack. its ment to use over real shallow dents. you shouldnt be able to really hear any "dead spots" when knocking.
