project 2000 dc2, fresh paint, jdm front, and shaven inside!
well i just got done repainting my friends 95 civic coupe and decided i wanted to finally get to work on my car
picked up a jdm front for it and did a rough install before paint:
got my friends car done, sneak peak, should have it running within a couple of weeks, i basically redid this whole car, new quarters, fixing the wing and full paint (all jams)
and the other day i decided to tear into my car and get started, should have the front jams done within the next day or 2 and have the whole car done this weekend
and in my opinion the worst part of all the work
i hate sanding the frames of hoods especially when they are covered in black soot
updates: aug 13
update: aug 14th
aug 17: its all done, just need a cut and buff and i will post up final pics
updated pic still needs wetsand and buff
while im doing this i also polished all my rims
hoping to keep updating and sorry for the shitty quality pics

umm.. maybe you should of used a stuff like simple green or other stuff and wash it off to clean it before sanding

quite frankly its impossible for a first timer to do a repaint and come out with an oem finish. you need to practice alot. hopefully as you progress your expectations will reduce until they meet your capability. if you have someone that knows what they are doing teach you, it helps tremendously.
