Well my car was in desperate need of some body work and some new paint. I drove it home so a friend of mine could help my hatch out a little. Here are a few pics of the progress that was made. I didnt get alot of detailed pics of the hail damage and all the other dents throughout the car. I also installed a new rear emblem and new outer window sills on both doors.


A little rust in the driver side door


cracked up front bumper that got replaced








The almost finished product. I have to get rid of those corner lights they suck and I hate them. Should have some amber corners pretty soon. Also Ill post up some better pics of it soon also.

Looks damn good, travis!

Those corners definitely need to go! ha

 

very nice, but paint your wiper arms and lose the corners.

indeed

 

Yeah there is a dropped Escort in the back and also a Cutlass that is being restored and hooked up. The Escort believe it or not is my dad's car and has a stereo in it also and the Cutlass is my brothers car. Its really nice.

My car is gonna be looseing the corners soon they were in the car when I bought it and I havent got any new ones yet and the wiper blades deff need some paint just havent done it yet will soon though. For the money that I paid for the body work and paint job you cant beat it. It had a serious amount of dents in it and a little rust on the door. All in all I paid $1,000 for all of it the body work and paint. Luckily I have an old friend that hooked me up with it. When I brought him the car I dont think that he realized its condition though. He complained about it but he did a good job better than what I was expecting for sure. It looks like a new car from it original state

 

few more pics




How your Honda feels when it gets some TLC

Nice blue tape, but that must have taken forever.

Yeah the blue tape took a few minutes and it actually held up well being that I drove about 1000 miles in rain. Thanks for all the compliments so far.

im doing this every time i drive my car down to LA this summer after the new paint. that isnt just a bunch of two inch blue easy off masking tape is it???

STILL WAITING FOR PICS OF ESCORT

 

good job...any more picks of the cutlass in the background? lol

 

enough said, time for a full family auto photo shoot.

 

The tape is just 2" Blue painters tape or whatever made by 3M I got it at Lowes. I cant post up some pics of the Cutlass but Ill make another thread for it. I dont have any of the before pics of it but it was a mess also. It has come along ways too.

 

Haha the Escort is just a basic Escort a 96 model with the 1.9L it has some springs on it, chrome 16" wheels, and a stereo. It was my brothers car for awhile but then he gave it to my dad pretty much and he likes it. If I had the money and time I would turbo it for my dad. That would be so awsome Im actually looking into it now. Building up a small turbo kit for the Escoot that is what we call it.

that would be ****** awsome

 

It would be kinda cool I thought myself. I dont know the first thing about a Ford Escort but it cant be that hard. My pops is always talking about putting a Focus engine in it but he aint gonna do nothing that is for sure. One thing that I know is he keeps it clean hehe.
