I have no pictures of how it sits now but i will try to get some this weekend. Basically, I welded the inner fender (the one with the relief cuts in the picture) tacked to outer fender. The excess was cut off and some paint was added. Just make sure you cut the outer fender first.

If you have any questions just let me know.

Well i was planning on painting this weekend but the rain/humidity put those plans on hold. I did get the majority car blocked, taped up, I relocated my harness out of the way of my front wheel, and i started to put my brakes on. I am having alot of troble getting the drain plug out of my dif, even with air. Tomorrow i have to finish sanding the hood, fenders, passenger door and get the rest of the brakes on.

Sweet

Adam496 · 06-27-2009, 05:48 PM

The weather has not given me any chance to paint this thing. I am hoping for the july 4th weekend. I've finished up the bay pretty much. I just need a few vac lines, a recirc line and a filter.

Adam496 · 06-28-2009, 06:21 PM

Well it is finally off jackstands. My to do list is shrinking and my countless hours working on this thing is finally paying off. I am stokeddddd. Hopefully the next set of pictures the car will have paint!

OBEEWON · 06-28-2009, 06:26 PM

Looking good. How wide are those motegis?

Adam496 · 06-28-2009, 06:36 PM

they are the 9's +15 with 255/40s. I have to paint them to match the works for the time being. The front works will come in time.

Adam496 · 06-29-2009, 08:23 PM

This weekend's weather forcast is looking good!

I could look at this ass all day haha

Goddabob · 06-29-2009, 10:04 PM

I want to see this car in person, you going to be taking it out to any meets

Adam496 · 06-29-2009, 10:19 PM

Yeah, i go to Temple Ambler so in late aug early sept i will try to make it to some Philly burbs meets. Me and DC2-Chris usually are at the 5points meet in his teg. I've been to sonic a few times too.

This car and my friends RB25 hatch will most likely be at EC bash 3

Adam496 · 07-01-2009, 05:19 PM

Woot, i just got a navan bumper!! Anyone have oem skirts??

ZX88 · 07-02-2009, 09:34 AM

navan is hot hot hot. sideskirts will be hard to come by though.

Adam496 · 07-02-2009, 07:20 PM

I know, so far its been tough. There is a guy on zilvia selling a pair and I've sent him numerous pms but no reply.

How is your car coming? Get the aero painted?

And finally an update. Tomorrow i am setting up my makeshift booth and getting the compressor. Sat is supposed to be low humidity so I'm going to try and get it finished up.

Goddabob · 07-02-2009, 07:23 PM

Cant wait to see this painted, also take some pictures of the makeshift booth I am curious how thats going to work.

Adam496 · 07-05-2009, 06:59 PM

Well the first coat turned out like ass but then i got the hang of it kinda haha. I still have a lot of sanding to do. Hopefully next weekend i can seal it up and throw color on it.

JDMTyler3326 · 07-05-2009, 08:23 PM

What color are you looking to do?

Adam496 · 07-05-2009, 09:04 PM

I was planning on spraying it flat black to learn and then spray it a real color. But, painting is a bigger pain then i thought it was going to be so i may reconsider.

Drftpretty · 07-05-2009, 09:07 PM

Yea plus flat anything is extremely hard to lay down in even coats.

Plastik Racer · 07-05-2009, 09:16 PM

looking good...wet sand the primer then relay it, that'll give you practice. remember you can never over do prep work a little extra time goes a long way. Just a tip soak some 1200 grit in water over night then go to town make sure to keep the sand paper and surface wet so you don't burn though. Also flat is very very hard to lay down right even pros struggle its very picky and overlay on its a pain. Good luck with the project..

Adam496 · 07-05-2009, 09:29 PM

Thanks plastik for the tips. So i guess i have a lot of deciding to do. I am picking up a wingless trunk lid tomorrow and then i will be off to the auto body supply store on tues to get some paint mixed up. Hopefully the navan gets here soon and i am still on the hunt for oem aero skirts.
