I can see Solebury from my house. I'm like 25 mins from where you got your car, that's why I asked. I think you are near Turbofreak88, maybe.

hahaha, that's funny. Thanks for all the comments guys. You guys have some pretty nices cars too from what I see.

Ok, here are a few pics of the progress. These are not from today. I got a lot done today. I'll post those pictures at the bottom.

Here are some pictures of the underbody coating. The sub frames are not done. This is the first layer of coating. Once I get the car painted, another layer of underbody coating will go on as well as getting the sub frames powder coated. Again, sorry for not taking pics when the sub frames were off and the chassis was completely bare. I keep forgetting to take pics of these types of things.

Engine Bay almost disassembled. There're many many holes which will be welded shut by the shop before painting the engine bay.

Here are the pictures as of today. This is how the car stands right now. There is nothing on the chassis right now but the suspension, doors, fenders and windshields. Those will be removed at the paint shop.

Everything gets labeled and packed away. All the big items are stored either in the garage's basement or in the attic inside the house. All door panels, carpet and everything else, except the front seats are wrapped in plastic and stored.

There are a couple more parts I ordered underway. I need those before getting the car painted. My front bumper lip being one of them should be arriving soon.

buckshotglass - I'm hoping to have the exterior completely done by summer time. I'm hopping to have the entire project done by 2008. I'm limited by funds since I'm also fixing up the house, have a wife and a daughter. I'm also going back to college to take up some classes for work, which hopefully will turn into more $$$$$$$


TurboFreak88 - Please don't do this to me!!!!!!! I spent waaaayy too much time debating these two colors. I finally decided which one to go with. :icon_bigg

Supra90turbo - hahaha, that's right. I'm following your build too. As a matter of fact, I believe I posted a question you didn't answered yet, or what that someone else???

There is nothing on the chassis right now but the suspension, doors, fenders and windshields. Those will be removed at the paint shop. I already had the suspension off, so it was almost like your. I would say 2 hours away from you if I take the suspension off again, which I will later LOL.


starscream5000 - One of my buddies that owed me a couple favors lol. I'm somewhat connected with the garages around my area because I used to do a lot of buying/selling - mostly when copart was real live auction. Now is all online. Not as fun. Sooo, I know a lot of guys.
