My ED6... weekend racer on a budget

[SheaMoose]

Mysterious bearded race car driver.

A stig of sorts.

It did not. And yes it is a small dent. It was there when I got the car :/ I can actually ask about it though as I hate it. The car is far from perfect though and I would at one point like to go over the whole body and respray so I don't want to get too carried away right now. If you look at the front of the driver's fender you can see it's a little wrinkled. It's hard to tell in person but stuff like that bothers me.

I think that with your ability, you could do the body work yourself. I'm kinda surprised that you haven't/didn't. Blending paint is an art form, so that might be a little different story. I would try pulling that dent out with a suction cup. Get a couple different sizes, you might get decent results. It works better when the dent is in the middle of the panel, but it's worth a shot. Go to Harbor Freight with one of the 20% off coupons that are everywhere and you can save 20 cents off of a 2$ one.

I'd try to just get another non wrinkled fender at the J/Y. It'll be way easier than trying to iron out the wrinkles.

*******HAHA. I just noticed that in both of my rolling shots my face is perfectly covered by something. I'm so mysterious. Ya'll have no idear what I look like******

I submit that you are the fellow in the picture that you claim not to be. No one has ever seen you and him together at the same time. Plus, didn't someone say that you have "an heroic beard that rivals that of a viking plunderer..."?

Actually, I can and have done body work many times (on this car too). I even did it on the spot in question (look at the picture of it in primer). I just wanted him to make it perfect.

Like you said though, blending paint is cray and I'm not there yet.

I plan on nabbing another fender. I already have another hood ready to go. I just need to get some money together. I'm going to do it all at once so the car will stay like this for now until I have another car to drive while I rip this apart. That's probably a couple years from now though.

Because 240z.

DRAT. Keep it a secret will you.

I thought I saw something funny going on there! You sly dog, you.



On another note, the pics at the beginning of this thread are back up! So if any of you are feeling like reliving the past, now is the time.

I think you missed what I said above, because I fumbled with the quote button and tried to weasel through with the semi clever use of asterisks.

...or you intentionally disregarded it. Better to keep the mystery alive anyway.

[M.Doban]

I actually didn't see it tbh :P

But yeah, I have no comment. I shall reveal my true form when the time is right.

So what you're saying is you're some kind of mythical creature like a phoenix or something? Seems legit.

[CrackerTeg]

Micah, I totally e-stalked you btw. Your twitter reveals your true form. Pretty gnarly beard bro.

CREEPER.








jk. It's the internet. Everything's game. But oh my gosh, there's so much stuff on me if you google my name.

And thanks, yo. My mom hates it.

p.s. That's just my human form.

How do you think I found that Twitter? The internet is fucking scary shit.

[M.Doban]

For real. I need to get off the grid. Move to Iceland.


So the body guy said he would start on the car tomorrow. I'm extremely worried and scared as nobody has ever worked on this car but myself. He's also said he has had to pull it in and out of his shop and "it's been a pain in the butt because it just drags and scrapes on the gravel". He said nothing is being damaged but I'm still scared.

[SheaMoose]

Your true form is a deer, right?

And don't be too worried about it, it'll come back to you looking even better than before.

[Randomofodication]

Everything is fine

It just scrapes on the gravel, nothing got damaged..




I'm sorry, I had to. I'm sure the paint will come out good, can't wait to see pics of the other side of the car!

[CrackerTeg]

I commute to school now and have just been enjoying driving it every day.

Go die in a fire.
