      I redid my EJnight skid plate AGAIN :) Added some different spacers for clearance on the oil pan. It's awesome!
      I got a fender roller now! LMK if you need me to roll your fenders or want to rent the tool from me locally.

            Couldn't say. I rally-x my car, so it gets the crap beat out of it one way or another. Now my front end is clunking ever so gently. I think it's the tie rods. Everything else feels fine.

                Just finished painting my new (old) side moldings with vinyl paint, now they're a nice, deep black. Just a little bit of gloss, but not too much.

                  Sanded back my trailing arms, undercoated the subframe, and trailing arms.
                  Sanded back my new boot lid while I was waiting for undercoat to dry, then I undercoated that.
                  Then i sanded back my trailing arms and subframe and top coated it. Looking schmick now. Will probably post up pics later tonight :).

                    I'm going to bring the term "boot" and "bonnet" to the US, to replace "trunk" and "hood". The whole fucking rest of the world calls them by the first except us.

                        what do you guys think for a complete newbie?
                        I painted my Bumper Trim, Lip, and muffler tip.
                        Tomorrow after practice, I'm painting my grilles!
                        I need to get some DS paint and do the bumper cover, and other misc. parts.

                          pulled the 3.73 diff out of my parts car, swaped my alt. out for a new one and finished putting my interior back together after my 5spd swap, cleaned it inside and out and my weaves and got them looking brand new, now i just have to find a cheap set of center-caps

                            Cleaned the 4 door, installed both euro plate fillers that I bought from Blunt, and bought a spot weld cutter so I can remove the sunroof tray :)

                                Drove it to work after 3 days of refusing to start. Turned out to be the Crank Position Sensor, very thankful that this time it was nothing crippling to the wallet.

                                And today I washed it. :D



                                I really need to get those snows off. Like ASAP.
