Didn't get much done yesterday. I spend most of the evening hammering out the passenger side motor mount bracket. What a pain!
Sorry no pictures. I'm in a rush to get the car primed before Thursday. I'm getting married on Satruday and won't be able to work on it until next week.
Today I am taping up the whole car and "building" my spray booth. I'm crossing my fingers that I can prime tomorrow.

Re: (nikolai.)
Finally got the shell and bumpers primered yesterday evening. It was dark so I didnt take any pictures yet. Ill try to get some this evening though.
It felt really good to finally get some paint on this thing. I have put a serious number of hours into this project just to get this far.

HAH! I've been working on the car for 2 months now! I work everyday after work for about 1.5-2 hours and all day (10-12 hrs) every Saturday and Sunday. At this point I think I'm taking the week off. I need a break!

It's ALOT of work. Doesnt necessarily require that much skill (besides the actual spraying for base and clear). Just tons of manual labor and alot of patience. I learned most of what i know so far autobody101.com.

Actually its going to be an H22A with and ATS LSD. The engine bay is going to have the battery and fuse box relocated with a wire tuck. No A/C or P/S.
This is going to be a designated HPDE/autox machine with a pretty aggressive suspension setup. Once I get the suspension ironed out, it's getting turboed. Hopefully it'll be finished by this time next year.
