    we didn't have any cars here that didn't come with side mirrors, they shouldnt be that hard to make though, just get a standard electric mirror and cut it up & fill the gaps haha

    Re: my daily driver project

    i lowered the back of the car today a little bit, nto as much as i'd like to have, but better than before. I pulled out teh non-captive cut springs from some spare shocks, and stuck in some springs from an unknown vehicle. pix







    now i have to swap on my front lowering springs from the leaking shock absorber(s) onto some other ones so I can lower the front too. then i can has be legit

    Re: my daily driver project

    this is my first time at somewhat successfully using body filler. there used to be a hole here for an antenna that some noob put in there. this is my attempt at shaving it
    i first hammered the hole area in & then put on some filler to fill the hole






    then like less than a minute after i sprayed the paint on, the weather changed and it started spitting & then rained on my newly applied expensive paint grrr. but other than that paint failure, i'm quite proud of how good it came out, nice and smooth and undetectable by the eye & the run-along-with-finger test

    5 more spots to patch up & then i'll be happy with the car lol

    Re: my daily driver project

    ^the only thing that didnt come out perfect was the paint, but other than that, i learnt that bodywork is fun if you have the right tools!! oh yeah its been a while since i updated this thread, i also lowered the front, made some side skirts, prefacelifted the rear, and got some louvers hahaha. here's moar pics of that segment







    the list of things left to do on this car is:
    fix rust under tail light
    fix dents in rear left guard
    fix rust in front right fender
    fix front bumper
    fix cruise control
    make front lip
    rear skirt
    window tints
    wheel alignment
    new front tyres lol
