Wow, wasn't expecting that colour, will look nice though.
Bet you're frustrated over having missed something that you can now see once it's in colour.. I always am, but it looks great.
Those door frames look so much nicer without the roof gutter hanging over them.
Wheels nice & mean. Hope they don't rub on the arches at the back once fully laden, my hatch certainly would!
lol you mask windows like i do, just taping the edges and clean the over spray off the rest of the window later haha
Looking good! Wow you cut out the front arches for the flares! Pretty cool work man. What's up with the grey? Did you block it back out or something?
Yeah I actually found some spots that I missed, idk how but already took care of them all (Y)
Hahahah te8 style
I wasn't gonna mask the windows as I'm gonna sand/buff them later as its filled with stupid oversprays and crap from the previous paintjob -.- Figured I might do that in one go and rather not waste my time/energy/tape/papers to mask them
Nuh they aren't painted yet duh :p I just assembled the doors and was planning to do it today, then pearl and clear time!
Pearl and clear (Y)
Buncha orange peel and fucking paint runs! ffdsfdsfsdfs grrrrrr
Already took care of the runs and orange peel
So shiny! Can't wait to see it all back together! What a machine it will be!
^^^ What he said. It looks great!
Buffed the car woot
ohai
Finished buffing the whole car
Stupid wavy surface
That ripple near the rear door handle (N)
Another not so straight panel
Bonus artsy pic:
Dude, don't sell yourself short man. You did an amazing job considering how that thing looked before. That color looks awesome!
fuck yeah i wish i had the money and time to pretty a car up like that
Me too!
Anyway so stripped the bay down to just.. well engine xD
Nasty stuff
Headlamps are out too, making room for the E34 projectors like mine (Y)
Seriously?
Flares are on
LOLwheelgap
Sucks that the coilovers are all the way down lolol
Ignore the fitment, I still gotta realign the doors and stuff. New weatherstrip does funny things to your fitment, just saying.
Looking good man! That car will turn heads! And it's gone though such a transformation!
I don't like it lol
Not enough lows, thats for sure. Oh well $$$$ is $$$$
Awesome work Haz its great to see life put back into this 1G! The fender flares flow pretty good with the body lines, looks like the rear's are going to be a bit tricky though? I agree with you hopefully you can get it as low as yours In for more keep up the good work man!
Wow! Dude, seriously, like they said above, don't sell yourself short. Looks awesome! The transformation is simply amazing!
Now heres something that I hate to do: the engine bay. It was such a mess its not even funny!
I know I should have done the bay first but the owner was planning to do an engine swap sometime later after the car was painted but he changed his mind later so..
No crazy shave/tuck or anything like my car, just a quick respray and redo the hacked up harness >< Whoever did the work on it before should be shot!
I don't plan on removing the engine for some reason, don't ask!
Blasted both the bay and the engine with bunch of degreaser. Soo much cleaner LOL
Also installed a pair of BMW E34 projector headlamps. Lots of cutting involved
Not something I would do but he wanted these
Oh well
Hay it's not bad! You do good work on it!
Looking forward to seeing how the smaller inner lamps look. Still considering that idea if I can come up with some cheap (damaged) parts to play with, though kind of wanted to do a customized grille to match (slightly more trapezoid /2g accord /Mustang style central grille).
Both headlights are on. So much hacking done to get them fit its not even funny
Bay ready to be painted tomorrow
Still working on the harness -.- So much fun!
Cant wait to see the engine bay completed. If you werent on the other side of the world i would be sending my car your way for the paint and body work without hesitation, keep up the good work!
