    Well....this is where I start with the excuses. It stormed and rained HARD the last 2 days after work so I couldn't have sprayed if I wanted to anyway. Yesterday ......I was going to mask and prep, etc. Then I started nit picking over my work again:3d_frown: :1zhelp: The left rear 1/4 had a...

    Finally got everything where I want it, and spent 3 hours cleaning up the garage tonight. I'll snap a pic before the primer hits it tomorrow......finally. I pray it doesn't look like shit when the red goes on.

    ForcedTorque's 3E5 has Arrived!!!!!

    Looking damn good Scott!!!! I wish I was making progress quicker like you. This body stuff is killing me, which is why I don't get on here much, I'm spending my time slaving away in the garage. I can't wait to see yours freshly painted in front of the cross:)

    Lexus RX300 Timing belt job (dealership) Long, but you gotta read.

    You live a Ramen noodle lifestyle if you book 8 hours a day as a tech. Average t- belts where I've worked pay 3.5-5 hours, but they don't charge full labor rate. V8's are more involved, and if you really want to see techs scatter like cockroaches .....bring an MR2 turbo in for a t-belt.

    EVO body kit

    They were ripping people off bad, and they never answered the phone. I never took a chance after all the shit I heard, I searched a long time, then bought all my body stuff from oneandgone when he tore down his MK3. I plan on ditching the fogs in favor of some ventilation eventually.

    EVO body kit

    Maxx Evo, some like it , some don't, I like it better than the other versions, it has a bigger I/C opening. Harder to find though, they're out of business.

    Thanks s8795, and thanks Ryan, I've been on here so little lately I never even saw that! I'm not gonna pay to ship a hatch, I'll dig one up locally. And to think several times I sent good hatches on parts cars to the boneyard because I couldn't get rid of them! maybe I will just buy some Lexan:)

    I am using HVLP guns, they still take a good amount of cfm's, but I got that covered now. I'm HOPING to have everything nearly ready for primer next weekend. I'm going back out now to cover the rear hatch with plastic so I can get back at it:)

    Well, body work = frustration for me. 2 weekends ago my air compressor just couldn't keep up with a DA and I dont want to have problems when I start spraying. So.....last weekend I got a big compressor and spent the weekend runnning 220v to the garage, and installed the comp. This weekend I was...
