Girlfriends car. Yes its a convertible.

[pejsa]

long time no update, but there has been a lot of good progress on this car.

my boss went out of town so i took a week off work and decided to thrash on this to get the body work and paint sorted out.

day 1 disassembly and planning and acquiring materials


day 2-4 body work lots of body work and fiber glass repair


day 5 primer


much later on day 5 color


day 6 assembly


day 7 polish, still needs more polish tho


waiting to find some aero for the car, hence why i didn't paint the front bumper. looking at the huxly kit, but rumor has it bn will be dropping a kit soon.

girlfriend wanted to change the color of the wheels so we spray painted them for now to decide what she really wants before we powder coat them.

put her new steering wheel in


new lightly smoked tails


and some fog light block offs since her fogs where smashed to hell


her new harness


bought a tube bender and tube for her car so cage in the near future. and hopefully a 1j haha

so thats it for now

cool built and it makes it even cooler that it is a girls car, because they always add the little "touch" to the car.
But why the overfenders, they look crap, some random bolts holding them on, it makes car so dirty and like a junkyard car or a beaten up drift car, but after all it is only my opinion and you are bulding this car for your family .
good luck and i really dig them wheels

Bump, what happened to this?

[BlownS197]

planning a road trip to california and saving for a house so this is kind of back burner for now.

car locked up some u-joints on the driveshaft, killing the CSB and guibo.



but here are some pics for you

Love it! The wheels and fenders turned out looking sick!

[BlownS197]

Haha I like your reasoning. Car should look sick. Wish I could get my girlfriend to drive stick..

Same here bud. She refuses to learn. May just take hers in the morning so she is forced to take mine to work, which could result several different outcomes....

any updates on this car?

Thanks, where did you order the nutcerts from and did you have to order a special tool to install them?

Astro pneumatic makes a very nice nutcert tool if you plan to do a lot of them, if not the std bolt and sleve thing works very well.

NM just reread what you wrote and saw eBay and searched for both. Huge help I really appreciate it man

Where did you order those nutcerts and everything to install your over fenders? Ive been looking for something similar to install my fenders on my RX7.

eBay. Fender washer kit. And 6mm nutcerts. Spent about $30 for all 30 of them
