Wait till I get some pretty photoshoot pics first Those pics sucks.

cant wait will you be using a real camera this time?

[Hazwan]

I'll see if I can borrow my friend's camera.

Anyway, heres some quick pics in the morning. The paint looks absolutely fantastic under the sun :drool:









There are, unfortunately some fine swirl marks, which is probably due to my old polishing cloth. Anyway, full polishing again in next month+ followed with her first coat of wax

Nice work meng. On the rim painting... did you use any kind of high temp or any other special paint for those? I think you'd be okay, but the brakes definitely warm up the rims and I've heard of paint cracking on rims. I figured you just whipped your leftover paints and BAM it was gray.

[Hazwan]

Never thought of that. I hope it shouldn't be a problem..

[Pico]

your ride is looking really beautiful Hazwan. Great work

[knarg]

do you have rear discs or are those painted drum brakes?

[Hazwan]

Nah thats just painted drums.

Great transformaiton!

I messed around with extra power window motor I had lying around and this is what I got:





I works!!!!! And yeah I know that the door is hacked so bad, but I'll clean up the edges and put a coat of paint on it. But with the door panel in place, nobody knows whats underneath. Thats the only way the motor would fit. I know they have kits for it, but hey this is 100% free!

I'm planning on using 3g door handle with the power window switches later, and do the other 3 windows.... maybe later.

More pics coming up.

Thats not too shabby man! Good work getting it mounted. Where are you gonna put the switch?

[Hazwan]

For now I have a cheap generic switch mounted on the center console. I tried asking for the 3g door panel and they want to much and wont sell the arm rest alone.

My next plan is to add aditional motors in the other doors, reupholster the door panel, and probably the seats too. Tons of plans, so little budget....
