Default My DC Rebuild I am almost there (56k? What the hell is that?)

Well this winter I decided to rebuild my car since my old motor gave out. I wanted to rebuild the motor and also paint the car, so I took apart my car and sent it out to the paint shop to do a full paint job. I choose to paint it Midnight Hawk Black the car was Cypress green so that meant that the whole car had to get painted (Engine Bay,Truck,inside doors) and the interior will also be converted to black. I will be doing a wire tuck, removing Abs ,P/S, relocating the fuse box and battery. Also an Hid kit will be installed followed by new tein basic suspension with skunk 2 camber kit and full-race traction bars. The motor is finished already built Ls/Vtec Stock sleeves waiting for boost soon....

Here's some pic's of my car getting built (Tell me what you guys think)



Old pic of the outside

































So what do you think........

good job, coming along real good
quick question, when you were sanding down your car and it was ready for paint
did you get rid of all the dust and what not?

you should do the interior too

About how the body work was done I wouldn't know much because the body shop did all of the work, I had no time to prep my own car....


The interior is also getting done, Am converting everything to black(interior panels, dashboard,carpet). Also installing ITR Front and rear seats with an ITR cluster.

you need to jack up the car, take the wheels off and shoot the inner fender lining black because you can still see the green there
