Got an update not much has been happening I've been really busy at work, got the filler work mostly done and primed, there's a couple spots I need to touch up then she will be ready for sealer and Base/clear, I have been debating on the color still, I want a dark red, and I was thinking about doing calypso red, feedback on that choice would be nice, I always really liked the color though, other thank that the bottom end is being assembled and should be back this week.

update?

Got the engine bay in epoxy primer today, next up is bondo and a bunchh of sanding so that should be fun haha, glad that all the metal work is done though

[Booostede30]

Little update, still working on the engine bay getting it all patched up and ready for epoxy bondo, I've got all the holes in want to fill welded up and grinder down, so now it's just getting the rest of the small bits of seam sealer gone and everything scuffed up with 120 grit, should be getting epoxy primer in the next couple days then it's time for bondo

Decided to just weld new panels in areas of the strut towers, seems to be a lot cleaner, I started on the passenger side but only had time to get a piece cut out and another new peice made, leaving for a week to Canada so I'll pick it up again then, good news is the bottom end should be reassembled by the end of next week!!

Unrelated to bmws but one of my close friends who's helping me a lot my the engine just finished up a 1jz swap into an 89 Cressida

[Booostede30]

Been busy lately not a bunch of progress done, mostly just a ton of wire wheelin to get all the seam sealer away

[Booostede30]

Finished welding the piece, also took a pic of the standalone located in the glovebox just cause i was in there and thought to

Vipec v88 ecu with haltech igniters

Started on the other shock tower, i've got one side completely welded up it wqs getting late so i called it a night so ill finish it tomorow night

[Booostede30]

how are you going to stop it rusting behind that panel?

Im planning on spraying an undercoat on the inside of the inner fender wells/ wherever there's welds. Should make it look clean even though you won't see it but it will protect well against rust more importantly

I'm watching

Some progress lately

Got the other side panel welded in and started to try and remove some seam sealer on the left passenger side also got a couple holes welded in

[Booostede30]

I got the panel at the bottom of the shock tower welded in. I have a couple of questions though it seems like most people weld it completely in then grind out the welds and then bondo over the welds at the seams, it sure looks good but my concern is having it crack overtime, id like this to be quality and last along time for shows for years to come, any input from people who have done this? Seam sealer would be nice but i want the bay to look like glass and completely smooth
A picture of the panel welded in, some of the welds were shitty i was on my own for this one,

[Booostede30]

I appreciate it!! I cant wait to drive this thing even when it had two dead holes it sounded mean so i cant imagine what itll sound like when its finished.
