looks GREAT

any ideas for paint???

420sx · 06-24-2010, 11:40 AM

I thought the whole purpose of your hatch was it was NA and slow.. so you dont pull a rogue when you start driving it?

Looks good though, definitely an upgrade. Please dont paint it fagboyblue.

Nick Merrone · 06-24-2010, 12:11 PM

Wont be painted fag blue, and stylez TA:

Saturday the wheel well is getting done. Already have an appointment lined up to get all the rust up there fixed. I already cut it all out, Just need waiting till my friends shop is free. then where taking her down saturday. The 1/4 panel im getting off some guy in VA. other then that the car has no rust.

Everyone does, I dont see why. Its just a storage shed. haha. i cant work at night yet I need to run the electric out there but im too lazy. I have a compressor and **** but its useless as of now...

Also I just ordered the valve cover gaskets and spark plugs. Also might be installing the second sparco this weekend.

dont worry your hatch went to good hands, the kid you sold it to treats all his cars liek they are his baby, he already told me hes guna get a new exhaust to fix the hole and maybe raise it so it stops rubbing on the ground but he loves it so far

Nick Merrone · 06-26-2010, 02:20 PM

Okay, rust is fixed.

Valve cover gaskets are here. Car has greddy rocker arm stoppers on it now as well.

Vosko · 06-28-2010, 10:50 AM

make sure you leave the black box above the exhaust manifold

Nick Merrone · 06-28-2010, 10:55 AM

Why? I'll be removing it when i add the other catch can.

Also valve cover gasket's are done. Next is fix the powersteering pump.

Good luck with it. I've also got garage envy: a storage shed is way, way better than working in a 45* driveway and leaving an unfinished car in the elements. Just keep that right foot in check.

Nick Merrone · 06-28-2010, 12:59 PM

im procrastinating going out and working on it cause its so hott..
