Daaammmmnnnnnnn

 

Wow I thought my car was lookin rough.

So is this where you stopped? Or did you get it painted in the end? Still working on it?

 

This is where we stopped as of 7:30 this morning, only because we started at 2pm on friday and worked thru the night. It will be Primed later this week and painted in a week or so waiting on new front bumper or may fix the old one.

 

did someone seam seal the panels on? that looks bad, good work and good luck.

 

seriously looked like they glued the quarter on

 

nice job

 

Im am glad to see you started a thread, my wife hates you. This car had to be one of the worst i have worked on.

 

here are some more pics of things that happened when JDM IN MY SOL was sleeping or at the bar

 

and some more

 

Nice!!! I see after you blocked the primer you have some burn through spots. I'm working on my EK and I'm getting burn through as well. Just wanted to make sure it's ok. I am spraying two coats of sealer before the base coat fyi. What grit sandpaper did you use to block?

Check out my Ek9 build thread under paint and body.

 

nice build! cant wait to see the results.. curious if ur using panel bonding agent or welding?

 

That isnt primer it is sprayable polester filler which was used for any small imperfections. Much higher build then 2k primer and wont shrink.

The quarter is both panel bonded in some sections and welded in others.

More pics in a few days of the car in primer....

 

I'am glad to see you fixing peoples old butcher work previously.

 

Oh. So after you apply the primer and sand will the burn through spots require another spot pass of primer or will it be ok.

 

dude i love you,, ahaha., just for saving a sol.. Great work, keep it up. Now when you are done with it, sell it to me, i need another sol in my life.. haa.

 

how its crazy how the repairs were done before. Looking good.

 

*** UPDATE ***

Got a new oem 97 del sol bumper and immediatly started hacking it up.





















Car masked and shot with the first 3 coats of primer





Car was blocked with 240 and 3 more coats of primer

Thank god that POS is out of my life

 

Damn, that was a hack job and a half. Looks wayyy better. Good work!
