[drutt23]

Sweet man! Can't wait to see this finished!!

[Justin B]

Thanks a lot guys! If all goes well I should be driving to Washington in exactly 7 days.

I found the driver side bumper clip, so.... Drool on this NOS rd rear apron.


Euuurrooooo trimmed


The wheel guy is trying to fix the bend in my arc8s courtesy of a bigass pothole. Unsure if it will work yet, I'm hoping so or idk what ill need to do.

[Justin B]

So, I need two hyper black arc8s now, they dont fix from bends...


Uhoh.

[Justin B]

Driver seat is installed.

Gotta get creative with the blue painters tape on everything that isn't painted. Currently thinking about leaving the wing, but I might tape it up too, but that would be last. Gotta pput the heat shield on, and exhaust. Ds door still needs to go on once I can fix the loose handle. Rear window and front windshield need to go in. test wiring and check the wiper motor stop then instal it. I need a wiper blade and gotta straighten out a stock wiper arm to gey rid of the bend.

things lookin good! To bad on the rims tho. A few years back a guy sued the city for a pot hole screwing up his 20" chrome rims. And of course the city paid for all of them+tires. Hopefully you can find some replacements and get them on ur car so we can see what it looks like! :)

I vote for you doing the whole car in blue tape! lol
Thing is really coming together well now!

i had a friend who made a racing stripe using that tape on his car, it was such a pita when it had to be removed for paint prep.

[Justin B]

Yeah, its a bitch to remove if it's on for more than a couple weeks, I plan to tear it all off in just over a week. It should be ok.


Through several ideas for wheels, I ended up just ordering a new set of wheels and tires. The front calipers need to be shaved a few mm apparently, but will clear. On order and to be delivered next wednesday is a grey set of tr motorsport c1 15x8 wheels from tire rack, and 225 50 15 yoko es100s.

Im doing the full trunk and hood at least too, the hood fell over a lot and is really beat up. Tape will be an improvement.

Nice choice on the wheels and tires. I love the ES100.

I have to use green on my trim when I get it detailed because of my DIY showdline. Flakes
