my gf likes what you have between your legs in the picture of self. Not what your packing silly. the dawg. ^^

Good work

Byaaah!

Your work looks pretty good, great work on that cf hood, it came out great...

As for the moldings, IMO it would look cleaner without them, I can tell she is gonna come out great though ...

dmpd_ef

looks like u put some real work into that car, its coming along nicely. btw how did you clear out your tailights?

PhantomX

Nice work bro.... hey what kind of rubbing compound did u use to make the CF hood come alive again?? mine turned into **** too and i need tips on restoring it...

rockofcali

im not sure what the rubbing compound was called ....it was pink and i found it in a water bottle in my garage lol ...im sure regular 3m rubbing compound would work just as good its a tan color kina expensive tho

clean3two3

rockofcali

lucky kick back job.

you going to keep that engine or swap it out?

how the hell do you know how to do body work ***** hard i tried it on mine and it look decent i guess

rockofcali

i grew up around it my dad painted cars since b4 i was born and both my brothers do body work... it rubs off on me i guess plus i love cars so that helps lol


as for the swap i have started to save for a high compression b20b not sure want trans i want yet ls or b16
