I absolutely love these cars! Keen to see what you do with it! Also seriously jealous of the bodywork skills you have, I'm a little blown away by how much time and effort you've put into making it a straight and clean shell.

Thanks man. It's very fun to drive even though it's slow. Lol.Originally posted by mikey G View PostFuckkkk that rt 4wd is SICK.
This past month has been non productive. But I did get to prime the shell today. I'm kinda happy that the primer split. My panels look and feel a straighter. Anyways, just like most of you, there's money coming around the corner. Time for car parts!

Not much getting done. Had to sand down the whole body down due to the primer cracking. I upgraded on primer while I was at it. What's been reprimed and sanded are all four doors and the hatch. Rest of the body should be primed next week.
Bought a new bumper and service manual.


Also, I traded my mighty max for a 87 civic wagon RT4WD. Pretty rare car.

Well played catch up today. Sanded down the doors to the original paint job. It's had about 3 paint jobs before. Sprayed some Limco 800k primer. Panels are even more straight now. Now onto sanding down the other panels, prime, and sanding them down with 400 grit paint stick.

Not to much going on. Fixed some issues with the hood, seam sealing, and painting bits a pieces.








I also got some EDM single bulb headlights. They look so much cleaner.



Bad news is I found some cracking in my primer.
It' on 3 of my 4 doors, both fenders, both quarter panels. Hopefully I can solve the issue without sanding most of the cars gain. Which is unlikely I think.

Thanks for the kind words. @ryanjblajda I'm 100% with you on that. Problem is that this may be the only opportunity that I will have to paint the wagon in a professional booth so it was a now or never deal. Plus I don't have enough cash right now to purchase wheels and tires. But as long as I don't have to pull on the quarters, (most bodywork there) I don't mind to much. Though if needed, I wouldn't mind pulling the front fenders, redo bodywork and paint.

just a thought, but doing all your fenderwork before painting the car may have benefitted you in the long run. progress looks good though.
