Haven't updated in awhile. Haven't been able to do too much lately.
I removed the replacement quarter skin from the donar rear end. It wasn't exactly fun..




Drilling spot welds:





Then used the air chisel to separate the quarter skin from the rear body panel. I didn't take any pictures of that but it was the biggest pain in the *** of the whole process.

Skin finally off..








Then today after work I started tearing the quarter skin off of the car. I had to remove it in sections because the rear glass needs to be taken out. I had a guy coming down this morning to pull it out but ofcourse it was raining cats and dogs today so he couldn't do it. Hopefully better luck tomorrow.











Ouch look at this, even the rear body panel under the quarter skin itself was damaged in the accident.. Nothing major, it should come right out with a hammer and dolly after I pull the rear wheel off. But damn she was hit hard. Poor car.

 

my dude... i clap it up for oyu... dudes that fix their own cars FTMFW

 

Props for fixing it, I'd hate to see it get crushed. And you've made good progress, the car looks more like a car now.

 

sup chowda. im from the pure adrenaline. glad to see ur project is progressing

 

WOW! that's a serious project, looks like it's coming along well! keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished product... bet you'd never know it was salvage, your work looks great.

 

nice job bro....

link me with a FMIC to lol!

 

Looking good Dave! Let me know when you get her done,so we can get some shots together!

 

i would just call it an 09 evo8 cause its all new

 

Plugging along as best I can. I only have a couple hours a day after work until it gets dark out and the New England rainy weather doesn't help either.
Glass guy came and took the glass out for me today so that's a plus.
I dismantled some more of the car, continued drilling some of the spot welds, and removed some more sections of the quarter until running out of daylight again.

 

nice job man.. good luck on your revival

 

It's coming along great. Where did you get the VII tails from?
