    Hey everyone, I know I know it's been while, but I'm back with a nice juicy update!
    I bet you're really excited, huh?

    Okay here are the pictures..

    So this is my garage..... 16 years ago my father built a practice/music studio in here,
    And he's given me permission to tear it down

    So I began

    So didn't really do anything today, painted my emblems with my girlfriend, and that was it..
    But here are pictures of what progress we've made

    Valance on, grilles are sorta hanging there, my valance is missing
    these little inserts that the screws for the grille go into? I don't even know...
    Also my kidneys won't fit? They're way too big but I got them off the same
    E30 as the grilles???? Help!

    [IMG]2012-05-09 20.02.33[/IMG]

    We used tow straps, a hammer and my jack with a block of wood
    to make my valance fit correctly, but hey, it worked

    [IMG]2012-05-09 20.03.09[/IMG]

    Finished scraping off the weird insulation on the back seat

    [IMG]2012-05-09 20.03.32[/IMG]

    And you can't really see it in the pic but the actual emblem fell off
    so I painted it black with silver flake, the other one is painted by
    my girlfriend and isn't dry yet

    Thanks for looking!
    Going on vacation this weekend so no update, and my first time
    away from the car, let's hope I don't die of homesickness.

    Haha ^ maybe, maybe..


    So didn't get a lot of work done today or any pictures like I said, but we fitted the valance better after two hours and my dads help.

    So here's your teaser

    So went to pull-a-part today, it was VERY successful.
    Got some front end pieces, front valance, and a grille in pretty good condition.
    Also got interior peices for my dash so it will be complete, and lucked out
    and found front and rear emblems!

    Sadly the valance was in worse condition than I thought, we got it on but its pretty warped, and I don't have screws for the grille, but these things really aren't that important anyway.
    Didn't take any pictures because I forgot but I'll have some up tomorrow.

    Thanks for looking!

    Hi peoples, I meant to have an update this weekend but things got... Sidetracked..
    The night before last I was laying in bed over about an hour my eyes started to hurt and swell, I was going into anaphylactic shock, I have no clue why it happened, we've heard I could've had a reaction to an illness as I haven't felt well the last few days. But, I'm better now, I no longer have hives and I can get back to work

    So this is what I've managed to accomplish before and while I was sick.

    First I made patches for all the holes

    [IMG]2012-05-03 14.37.17[/IMG]

    Then welded them in

    [IMG]2012-05-04 13.21.00[/IMG]

    And plastered them in liquid nails

    [IMG]2012-05-04 13.20.35[/IMG]

    Then started on the worse holes

    [IMG]2012-05-04 14.10.29[/IMG]

    Somehow got a flat tire... Awesome >.<

    [IMG]2012-05-05 17.39.58[/IMG]

    Then painted my quarter panel, I intend to do the car this color

    [IMG]2012-05-05 17.40.31[/IMG]

    And this is how she sits now

    [IMG]2012-05-05 17.40.15[/IMG]


    Thanks for looking! Be back with another update soon.

    So I had my girlfriend take me shopping so that I could actually get some work done,
    and here are the results.

    Rolled the car on ramps and removed the quarter panel

    [IMG]2012-05-02 17.50.34[/IMG]

    Then started to tackle the rust

    [IMG]2012-05-02 17.50.47[/IMG]

    Missing a plug, so out it comes!

    [IMG]2012-05-02 17.50.59[/IMG]

    Now just have to patch it up

    [IMG]2012-05-02 18.14.44[/IMG]

    And a rust hole

    [IMG]2012-05-02 18.24.23[/IMG]

    Then sanded away all the surface rust, sorry for poor quality

    [IMG]2012-05-02 20.07.48[/IMG]

    Once it got dark I banged out the dent in my quarter panel

    [IMG]2012-05-02 22.41.18[/IMG]

    Then Bondo'd

    [IMG]2012-05-02 23.29.18[/IMG]

    And sanded

    [IMG]2012-05-02 23.54.28[/IMG]


    Did I mention I've never banged out a dent before? Or Bondo'd?
    Oh well, it came out decent.

    More updates to come!

    Okay so no m20 because I'm kinda broke at this point, but we're clearing out my garage so that it doesn't have to sit in the mud
    Hoping to make a pullapart trip this weekend and actually get some parts as the last time we went we got there 10 minutes before they closed...
    Anyway, I'll come back with a real update this weekend

    Hopefully picking up an m20b25 tomorrow, not as much power as I would like but it's something to make me feel better about buying a shell

    I agree, need to find a lift kit that'll work and invest in some 30"s :P


    There seems to be some growth in your garage

    I hadn't even noticed.. I need to find a nice dry place to keep it like....
    Under a tarp
