    Vlad, I just went through your build page and I am extremely jealous! If I build just one car to the caliber of all of your builds I will be pleased with myself.

    I can't wait to see this car done!

                I find skimming the whole panel and then blocking it out is always the best way to go instead of nit picking little dents here and there. Is this car going to stay white?

                      Just an update for you, I scored that euro motor with 27k miles subject to a leak down test.
                      Says it has uuc flywheel , clutch , short shift kit, carbon fiber intake and some other aftermarket odds and ends.
                      He's sending me high-res pis and a video of it running in the car as we speak before I have him remove it from his car :D

                      Your signature picture has been removed since it contained the Photobucket "upgrade your account" image.

                              sure, if you want a bondo bucket that after a few years all starts to lift and crack.
                              looking nice vlad.

                                A bondo bucket? Fillers have come a very long way. Some you can lay up to 1/4 inch thick with no issues of cracking, shrinking, bleeding through.
                                I did my brothers honda this same way almost 7-8 years ago and have yet to see a single issue with the work that was done and alot of things on it was shaved.
