Default some de-ricing progress pics of the EJ1's exterior. comments welcome

New side skirts, repair and repaint to the front and rear bnumpers, and some fresh paint on the lip.
My friend Isaiah and I pulled the car apart in sunny Kingman Arizona and went to work in the backyard garage.

still rollin' bawla 17"s. Gonna start gradually working down to get to 15"s.


front bumper needed some massaging....had a big tear for over two years...hid it well with pics! here's the repair started in the front left corner. tin in the back with pop rivets.



front lip getting prepped. tons of laquer thinner and 220 grit.



some girl hit and ran on my car in the college parking lot about three years ago...again, never noticable in pics. sanded out the bad parts and over the spider cracks.




shaved the front license plate holders while we were at it.




and, here's when we put the car together. Thanks to my friend's dad Scott who laid the paint for me, he's got skillz!

looking good man. as nice as the 17's do look, I would still get 15 or 16" wheels. also a rear disc conversion would make the rear look alot more complete
