[suprachick22]

Just the paint right now. And then small minor adjustments. Interior redone new clutch and stuff like that. It drives, The first burn out is uder supra videos. It ate the road!!!!! He got the tires so hot it ate the road and the funny part is the road was frozen from all the snow we've had.

 

[karlmk3]

that paint needs to get done crap

 

[karlmk3]

quick update so this thread dont die paint is been done this weekend ill post pics hopefully monday with the results

 

[suprachick22]

Ok so good news and bad news. Car was painted and looked great but once new paint was on you could see dents in it bad from the jackass previous owner so it had to be fixed. Can't have a dented beauty and now the final touches of the resand is being done so it can be washed and dry over night to be spayed tomorrow. Sadness I know. But its his baby and I want it to look amazing. So needless to say gotta wait a few more days and we'll get the finished paint job pics up. Just makes you wonder how it looks that much longer lol I hate it but its better the a pos paint job

 

[honestabe]

Ya'll didn't bondo the body and then sand off the excess until it was perfect and use light dusting coats to find the highs and lows?

 

[suprachick22]

no there wasnt dents to be seen until the new paint was on there. except the targa top which blew off from the old owners stupidity. we were just planning on buying a new top and painting it the same color but its all better now. we patched the holes in the tailgate where the antenna and spolier sat because he decided to go wingless. but as for the dents ya didnt know bout them till that time. but its better to be seen after the fact instead of leavong them and having it look crappy.
