Today I got a little work done.

I installed the MHW smoked corners

Bumper off


No more crappy connectors :) I wired in some oem connectors to go with the OEM buckets



Bumper off


All shrink wrapped and taped together




Bumper back on, corners installed


MT2 Valence on


I finally bolted down the spoiler

Double sided tape


Installed



It still lifts on the edges so when I fix the rear bumper I will be fixing this too

Taking the lights apart to install the crosshiars and smoke them



Then disaster struck. My first real boo boo on the car. I am so dissapointed


Thats it for today

shit! i just got much more respect for the styling of this car. your lighting never did it for me personally before. but this is an amazing car of an amazing owner. you've brought it a long ways. excellent job

[reelizmpro]

Wow. What a transformation.

[Kaldar142]

Amazing...

This is inspiration, I just read the whole thing from start to finish. Nice work!

most body shops use little anvils and body hammers to roll and knock the dents out, fillers (like bondo) are usually only used to fill imperfections if the body was creased and couldnt be repaired 100% and 1/4" is pretty deep. you should expect some cracking within a few months if you bondo'd big dents

This was a funny thread to read through. I laugh at people hating on bondo. and your prodject. trust me most body shops dont care about how much they fill,unless the person is really into pride, witch anymore you dont find that these days. the bondo wont crack if you apply it correctly. looks rad! good job

Hey I fell asleep last night early and got your text! I did not know your doing it already!! wheres the new motor? lmk if you need help

[lckyrocket]

Awesome work man, the car has def come a long way and is looking great. I am confused on one thing: how come the car had DBs but it had the late model tails?

[marcreid]

Man I'm impressed. Awesome Work!! And very tastefully done, IMO. I really like this car. You put a lot of work into this, and it really paid off. I read the whole thread last night (read: studied less for finals) and it was totally worth it. So is there an S5x going in now? I'm tuned in. This is one of the more interesting projects I've seen.

The 1988 cars (which I assume this is) have late model tails and DBs. These diving boards can easily be converted to plastic bumpers, whereas the early models cannot be easily converted

Just a little update.
