It should all be done by the end of this week.

 

DAMN that thing needs a lotta work.. is it in the body shop getting painted now or what???? and what color are you painting it??

 

Yeah, the pictures are in the body shop. It is all ripped apart because everything is being painted seperately. The color it is being painted is Graphite Metalic from a Viper. It was a full car when it got to the body shop, but now it looks like it was in a war.

 

Damn that looks like alot of work, post pics when it is done i would like to see what it looks like when it is finished

 

Love the color Good luck!

 

Im glad your across the country...cuz my eg hatch is already painted that same EXACT color.....BITER..lol...jk

 

Looking good how much is the paint job running you?

 

Thanks for the replies guys.

The paint job is going to cost me about $2,000 for everything. I just can't wait to get this thing back.

 

Ut oh.....I see green in there...make sure you paint the WHOLE CAR completely

Why worry about taking strange angled pictures :D

Looks like a true project car...

 

Well, I will admit that the interior is not going to be getting sprayed. I couldn't really afford that. But, you won't be able to see any of the green because all the interior is going back in. When I have the money, the interior will be painted. But everything else will be painted so it won't look green anymore. Sorry guys.

 

Looks very rough - just like mine did a few months back

Sounds awesome, and goof color choice too.

What motor you gonna put in it? Does your SN have something to do with it?

 

I was just making a joke about the green because of another post. But we don't need to get into that. lol. If I was going to repaint my car I probably wouldn't do the interior where everything is covered right away. Paint looks like its coming a long well.

Oh yeah is the 2,000 counting the engine bay? Where are you getting it done? Can't wait to see the final paint job....

 

Nah, my SN is what was in my old EK that I introduced to a tree.

But, the motor going in is a b18c1 w/ CTR pistons, ITR manifold, I/H/E, cams and everything are going to be upgraded eventually. I am also running a chipped p28. I used to have a B20VTEC but it blew up on X-mas day.


Nah man, don't worry about it. I knew you were joking around.
the 2000 is for the entire job. That is engine bay, door jams, body work, labor. Its a pretty good price I think.

nice project !

 

yah yah NICEY NICE!

man you guys are makin me sick with all the purdy feshly painted hatchbacks! mine are both ugly in comparison! drats!

 

owen, you should have seen my car when it was running around with the B20VTEC. It was one ugly piece of crap. The paint was faded, the front bumper was falling apart, and there were dents all over the place. Looked worse than it does now. Hahah.

 

Also does anyone have the panels that cover the ecu by your foot for both the passenger and drivers side? If anyone has them, let me know. Thanks.

 

ummm..mine are covered by carpet. unless you mean the door sills?

 

can't wait to see the pics when it's done

 

Aren't all EG ecu's covered by carpet. I think the 6th gen is when they started covering it with the plastic cover.

 

Yeah, maybe you guys are right. I must be going insane. I haven't really been around the car in about 2 months so what do I know. Hahah. I'll check that out when I get the car back. Thanks for the info. guys.
