Project Hatch almost done
COMPLETION PICS ON PAGE 5.............
.
i bought this car about 2 years ago, it was in very good shape, but my high school years got the best of me and i decided to shave the side molding and put a kit on it. big mistake, i regret it everyday, since then i have retrieved the stock bumpers and removed the filler that was caked in the molding. i am currently in school for automotive refinishing, and decided to take on the hatch as a project since it needed to be painted. The color i chose is Electric lime green effect (stock 02 jeep wrangler color) i know its not JDM but i really got attached to that color when i saw it. i hope to be done in about 2 weeks. because i only have class 2 days a week
sound dedning removal
and paint
prep befor jamb base and clear
doors, hatch, fenders, hood and mirrors
jambs
untaped
i hope to have the bumpers and exterior painted by the end of the week, updates soon,
feedback wanted, positive or negative

nice......just like how my car was prepped on the exterior.
but as far as interior. i took my fuel pump cover off, cables, wiring....but not the sound deadening material.
GOOD STUFF....nonetheless

Also got the car blocked down and ready for one last coat of primer, and then wetsanding begins, hopefully paint will be done by the 13 of april.
