Sweet! That thing will look awesome once you spray it!

Hell, it's better than dropping a few grand so someone else can do it. Nice job! :thumbup:

sweet!

Looking good Jerry! Looks like the shaved the side mouldings like the ones my hatch. I think it looks the best that way. I like the Z3 fenders too. They are way lighter than stock. You painting it yourself too?

nice hope you keep it that yellow though anyhow :rockon:

maybe ive been :bong: too much, but are ur tires mounted right? Im fuckin confused, but nice body work btw, looks good, i wish i had the ambition to shave my moldings like that, thats hott

this makes me wonder how ITR yellow would look on my hatch


nice work btw

looks good....how did you patch the holes on the doors?

thanks guys, those fenders are the biggest PITA to put on.

I am done with the yellow. going jet black with satin clear.
I havent decided wether or not i am going to shoot it, for now i have a few more dents to take care of.

I cut small strips of 16 guage sheet metal and tack welded one side then trimmed the other to fit in the hole then welded them shut. I then ground down the welds smooth. put several thin coat's of bondo sanded them to a smooth finish. sprayed them with 2 coats of filler primer sanded back down then put a darker coat then sanded to reveal low spots.

it was still taped up.

oh...

Looks Awsome I know that pian your going through!

I took off my z3 fenders when i took off my bodykit, im trying to decide wether or not i want to put them on or not. Im not sure what it will look like when i get it painted black. If anyone is good at photoshopping make his car black so i can see what it will look like. I know what you mean when you say they were a PITA to put on. When are you planning on painting it or having it painted?

sweet! on the black color choice!

Dude, that takes forever to get the body work perfect! Way to go!

looking good :D

oh ok....naw its just that fiberglass is waterproof. and bondo is not. but if you got a good seal all the way around its good...cuz that means you wont leak...and if it leaks bondo is like a sponge and it will soak up the water and it will expand till your paint cracks...it happen to me so thats why i know
