Oh, heres pics of a DA that I just painted last week.

The Goods

 

wow the db1 at the end came out nice

 

sweet. hopefully all plans go the right direction bro! eibach here we come!

 

thanks. it did have a few runs on the rear panels and doors but its nothing that cant be sanded out. I got a D+ overall on it...=[

YEE!

 

looking good.. want to paint my DA next ? haha

 

as much as i wish i could paint as many cars as i want i cant. i got 1 more complete job before i start my car and 2 spot jobs after that..by the time im done the semester will be over =/

 

small update

got the rest of the panels sanded down and the prepped the molding holes to be shaved.




Im going to be finishing the moldings and looking for some fabric for the door panels today. Anyone know where to get tweed??

 

ahh i love DBs.

 

interior looks awesome. hows the fitment of the rear seats?

 

Looks really good!

 

Looks like your off to a great start.

 

we all know you do! hahaha ahhh so do I..

 

Thank you, thank you.

 

 

lookin good, keep up the work

 

theyre not a direct fit, but theyre not completely incapable of fitting? if that makes sense. i had to do a lot of bending to the bolsters on the top portion of the seat. it fits fine now. the bottom section fits pretty snug. at first you would have to slam the doors pretty hard to close em but since then the seat has conformed to fit okay. other than that they sit nice but if youre taller than 5'6 you might be uncomfortable back there since they sit a lot higher.

 

yeah they look real nice. any pictures of the bolster you're talking about? and are you planning to paint it the same green?

 

looking good. i'm also working on my db trying to get it ready for eibach. hope to see you there.

 

nice. any major plans? mos def will see you there brah.

 

last update for today:

I used JB weld and some scrap aluminum to back the holes.


one side filled. (no, im not using BONDO ...im just using red hardener ;])


sanded and primed. this door isnt complete yet. ive never shaved holes before so i was just trying to get a feel for it. Plus, i've been working on paint technique and kinda lost my filler skills =X


I will be filling and the rest of the doors and sanding down the front end tomo. thanks for the bumps everyone.

 

just paint and body work. sticking with the usdm front end and hopefully picking up some sick wheels and seats.

 

damn dude nice work soo far. CLOVER GREEN!!

 

thanks. I love me some Clover Green, but unfortunately im parting ways from it...

 

got alot done the past couple days there my friend. the other day it was still green! hahaha. good that you're making some great progress. cant wait for the finishing touches!
