I decided to refinish my tail lights since they were off the car anyway. They are in good shape overall but the surface looks dull and sad as seen here.



So I busted out my drill, rubbing compound and polishing attachment and got to work.






Polished vs unpolished.



Good as new.

Great Thread man, very rad! and wow that polishing made a huge difference i need to do that to mine!

Thanks bro. The tail lights are often neglected when restoring a car but it's so easy to do and costs so little that everyone should do it...even if not restoring.
Edit: They actually turned out like new, I just couldn't get any really good comparison shots that truly shows it.

Can't wait to see the pics of it painted...props on doing the bodywork the right way too.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.
You know what they say....no pain, no gain.
Nothing sucks more than re-doing something because it was half-assed the first time.

Back at the shop we made more progress on the car. The fenders were taken off and worked on individually. Having sanded, bondoed, welded, primered and guide sanded they were set aside. Same with the gas door.

The driver side fender was nearly un-usable but Charlie worked his magic and made it like new again.




We then worked on the body for the next few days.

man i envy your time and dedication. i just love these complete restoration projects. got one too, an 89 model rex(beside having a wannabe ef9 , click my sig). though i have much of its parts, i just don't have much time to work on it though. i'm hoping soon as i keep revisiting these build threads inorder to inspire me more and work my gad d@mn @$$ LOL

red_EF9Si

TY sir. It's hard to appreciate hard work and dedication until you've done it yourself. Clearly you've put alot of both into your build...looking great! Too bad many of the earlier pics of your build are dead. The pics on the last page look dope tho...makes me miss my old EF9

SUBSCRIBED!!!!!!!!!!! Keep it up bro! Wish I had the time to do some body work.

red_EF9Si

Believe it or not the whole process took well over three months from start to finish. We worked on the car probably an average of five hours a week...mostly after hours. Don't be discouraged, you can make time.

red_EF9Si

Yes, I do have a tremendous amount of love for the EF/ED chassis

OldSkoolDa91

wait, so you're telling us the car is already done? and you're just draggin us along until you feel like posting the pics/info?!?! come on man, SHOW US ALREADY!!! lol

red_EF9Si

No way dude, how else am I supposed to build suspense? You'll just have to wait like everyone else

OldSkoolDa91

man, idk how you do it. if i had my car completely done, i couldn't keep stringin a build thread along like this. i'd have to post it all up lol. oh well, i'll be here till the end to see how it turned out
