Icon6 Towlie's ED3 build!

What's up HT!
I've been on HT for a while now but I have been more of a lurker of the EF section for a while, so I decided to get myself a EF sedan!

The bad:
191k miles
DPFI ftl
and a rice cannon for a muffler ftl also

The good things I like:
5spd ftw!
EF sedan!

Has a little bit of rust spots that I want to primer just to avoid it from turning
in to anything worse, then I'm going to throw on some wheels/tires with some coilovers and maybe a swap in the near future.
I can't really work on the car as much as I would like to since I don't have a garage but I'm going to make this in to hopefully a nice DD!

Main future plan:
Clean up the whole car!





Gotta remove the sticker residue on the bumper!

Front right wheel has a broken wheel stud =/

AND! this is one of the main spots that I at least want to primer
for the meantime.
The front of the hood has like a bunch of rock chips and it bothers
the crap out of me!

I already started gathering a few things for the bodywork!
The slinky will play a integral role in my work!

Your gonna wanna put a coat of white or something over the primer... Primer holds water and youll be right back where you started... But pretty clean for the most part...

I would look into a rust sealing paint like kbs or por15. But the simplest thing to do is wait around to find a better hood.
