      Rewarding, yes. Fun, no! Painting is pretty fun, until something goes wrong like a bug/run/fisheyes, but bodywork is tedious.

      Started cleaning up the car tonight.. Washed it with the new foam gun and began working on the interior. Still waiting on some parts and have a lot of stuff left to do, but the list is getting smaller

          Worked on some little stuff with the car today, mostly installing trim pieces and whatnot. I started adjusting the coils as well, I got the rear ride height set where I want it but need to bring the front down a bit. I am worried about my front bumper though, the uprights on the M-sport bumpers are notoriously weak and I really don't want to destroy a brand new OEM bumper. Tried the white stars on as well just to see how they looked and I kinda like them, but I'll probably stick with the naked look for the time being. Weldcraft shipped my Speedlines on Friday though, so more wheel updates soon hopefully.

                      Man, I have so much more respect for body guys and painters after doing this. Tedious, messy, and frustrating but I will say that it is pretty rewarding

                      Thanks man and thanks for the spacers!

                      Had to move it out of the shop in order to clean up today, along with my friends truck. My car looks like a 4x4 next to his:


                      I also got my wheels back from Weldcraft, I'm really happy with them and can't wait to get them on the car. Looks like I'm going to be at 17x9.5 ET1 and 18x11 ET14
