I know so many changes now lol. But yes it does look almost identicle to mine.

 

its crazy huh? stay teal, built it up clean!!!!!!

 

i wish i had some good profile shots of my teal car on si's so i can join. But all i have are this



dont mind me in the window. 01 throw back.

& a pic of how she sits now interior wise.

 

sweet we call went down the same basic road.

 

yo beaver how much stuff you got to do to your hatch?

 

a whole lot man....a whole lot, well i guess not that much haha. Im fixing my quarter panel & other small dents/dings. & then replacing the right fender, hood, wing, & moldings and then getting a complete paint job & then just re install stuff. So far ive only just started working on fixing my driver fenders small dings with poly putty. Goin to finish block sanding & shaping next week & then move on to the next panel of the car. Its my first time doing body work.

 

Whatsup guys... havent been around in a while...
Updated pic's of my car..




Still waiting on a few things.. I'm still looking for a OEM Hood Bra, and trying to sell my wheels and WS2 exhaust.. Also want new mirrors =\

 

Nice hatchy! Hatchy69 stay teal! I was going to paint mine, but it has grown so much on me I love it now!

 

that's dependant on how deep the clearcoat is.. if it's thin, it won't take too much effort to sand through to the color coat.

 

thanks man, im deff staying teal dont worry about that.

 

true that. the small reason keeping me from doing it.

 

Got the wheels on...and the same day, one of my wheel bearings goes out. Car is looking better though. Next up is rebuilding the suspension. I need upper/lower ball joints, tie rod ends, and now wheel bearings for sure.

 

What else works as a good degreaser?

 

Simple Green

 

true...but thats you would just do a small spot & if the orange peel gets smooth real fast with 1200, then you could just go up to 1500 or 1600. Or even if the orange peel is very minimal & not too rough, you can just start with 1600. Then polish & the glaze. Either way, if the clear comes off completely with 1600, then you would have to smooth the clear before laying a new coat of clear so that new coat can lay out flat and smooth.or its just going to make the work even more hard to get rid of the orange peel by shooting more clear over it.

 

What's good everyone? How was everyones weekend? I partied a lot and now I'm really tired lol.

 

hope everyone is doing fine

 

mines was good. met sasha singleton... my first import model crush. haha ...still have the import tuner she was on.

 

How you meet her? She was looking cool back then. I remember when I first met Christine Mendoza. My heart was beating like a jack rabbit getting chase like a dog.

 

Yay, Im alive!

 

..and this is why it shouldn't suprise anyone that paintjobs are expensive.. lol

 

dont i have to buff and polish that ***** ****er after with a buffer? damn imma newb when it comes to paint and im totally not satisfied with this paint job orange peel gets pretty bad on some parts

 

yeah.....you need to color sand and then buff the clear. thats where you can burn the paint. you've got to be careful.

 

What happend wit that hatch?

 

lol......i have an idea.
