Nice project

[nomansland92]

here's an update on progress





Everything cut out


best attempt to copy the seam, Not bad for a rookie














This has turned into more than a winter project but whatever as long as it gets done right I'm happy.
Rust is finally completely done and I'm ready to start sanding and straightening

Its starting to come all together

[nomansland92]

Got almost everything removed and set the doors on just so i can get them straight.

Sprayed the whole car down with guide coat and started blocking

Man, do work! So happy my car has 0 rust. :) looks like such a pain, but keep up the good work, save that cancerous e30

[audiquattrot]

nice work! keep it up!

[nomansland92]

Haven't got up any photos lately because my camera on my phone had got so bad, so i finally got my self and IPhone and i got some some pictures to share :)











Just a little teaser

Good day to clean the garage so thought it would be a great time to through the wheels on and fire it up and pull it out


just about all the filler is done, next is glaze then primer.

awesome progress! no more rust! keeping it AW? I regret not going custom....i really wanted it resprayed Nimbus Grey (audi color) when i had the chance

Every time i see an IX on here i get a little more jealous that we didn't get them here. Nice to see your doing it justice!

[nomansland92]

I planing on painting it alpine lll. I think it comes on the new m3's. I thought about doing a gun metal gray but I decided to keep it white.

[nomansland92]

a few more updates and another step done :D

just a little icing, should really make this thing straight


My helper, she bugs me to trow that ball all day haha


now that everything is straight and sanded it was time to built the paint booth.
That silver and green thing be hinde the front of the car is a foldable paint both we desinged a few years ago for painting fenders, doors, or whatever. Theres just a big fan on top that sucks all the fumes right out side. So we just made a big containment area and set up some filters for air to come in.



Let there be white!













This is just primer
Ill start wet sanding in a few days then it will be time for paint if i deiced its straight enough but i think ill find a few spot ill want to redo.

[audiquattrot]

niceee! cant' wait to see er done!

[Cronopoulos]

Great progress!

[audiquattrot]

btw are you putting the flares back on or leaving them off? i noticed the holes for the flares aren't there anymore.

[lambo]

Yay for saving an iX! Good work, man!

very good eye, nah i deiced to leave them off and go with IS skirts, I know a lot of people are going to hate me for that but for some reason i never really liked the way the IX flares looked on white. And the next project will be a turbo so i thought it would make i nice little sleeper off the line with all four wheels grabbing traction, no one will expect that its awd haha
