UNDER CONSTRUCTION...update...(lots of pics...)
Hey all, its been awhile since I've posted, but I've been keeping an eye on the site, seein everyone's rides comin up and everyones stuff is really lookin good...but heres the long overdue update on my ride...
The door handles have been shaved, the body kit was molded but the molds were broken when I had to ride home on a donut
, the rear license plate has been molded in at an angle and it looks so good in person, the front bumper in the pics is no longer on the car, my Apex ver. 1 kit is back on and fixed after several mishaps with local animals
, I tinted my headlights, fixed my Carbon Fiber hood (for those that dont know, i was in an accident and i tore the front passanger side of the hood off, so i cut up the hood and molded it to my stock steel hood...hardly anyone can tell...
), My interior is slowly comin along, the rear door panels are nearing their completion of the fiberglassing progress and should be done this week, my rear hinges for my "suicide" trunk came in yesterday so the 'flip back' trunk should be up and workin soon too, the gas door and side 'grooves' get shaved this week and the gas tank filler located to the trunk, Seats go to upholster at the end of the month, a ZEX dry full throttle setup has been installed (dont worry, I'm orderin pistons and rods in a week or so, and I'm not sprayin too much anymore until the come in), other than that, as u can tell in the pics, its in the process of gettin sanded back down and ready for paint, it had been primered orange, but once the body work is done itll get primered with the 'yellow' high dollar thick build primer, then wet sanded and sprayed...I'm gettin very anxious for this car to get done...I'll keep yall posted...but enough with the talk...heres the pics...hope u enjoy...

that looks, umm......scary........the hood looks interesting but the rear end just looks fat. id say to possibly look into bigger rims but other than that keep at it. its different and thats what matters. (now that i re-read this it sounds kinda mean. just constructive criticism.)

wow! looks like SHI* now..but obviously when you get it painted itll look better. i dunno if i could ever do that much body work to my car. if i looked out the window and saw that, id cry and ask myself what ive done.
but its not done. cant wait to see the finished product.

looking good, but your bumper should not have come undone form driving on a donut. we did a shave on a civic and you could kick the bumpers as hard as you can and they didnt move. just saying. probably what happened is that whoever did the work smeared some filler in the hole to make it appear smooth, when you hit a bump that ish will crack.

of course it will look much better when its painted but i noticed as well that the curve in the wheel well is either larger or at least different than the one in the front







.... your car is gonna look sweet when its painted...
