Tearlessj's SLOW Build. Lots of Pics.
- Thread starter Tearlessj
- Start date
I was going to wait til I was done but O well. Sorry about the delay, vacation and rain has made this longer then what it should be. Here it is:
Heres the car after the 4th coat, remember my car was black to begin with.
Now its time for some 600 grit wetsand! Heres half way through.
After the car was wet sanded, I rinsed the car off with some water and let her dry over night. Then applied the 5th coat. Heres how far i got, I have 3 more coats to go, atleast now everythings one color. Note the roof. :biglaugh:
Notice the reflection of the coke machine. Hopefully thats all good when I wetsand and buff somemore.
The backside and rear lid.
The best picture I could get to explain how the paint looked when applied. Not all appealing but like I said, I hope it gets better.
And my work area. I need to clean up this cluter. =[
I'd like to say, Black takes good pictures. I tried my best to capture realistic pictures.

is that a N/A ssport model, i thought that only turbos and the sport model with 430's came with the rear window wiper
Hes talking about your rear gears 4.30s came in all N/A models but only the sport package comes with the LSD.
Looks great! Thanks for diving in and doing this. I am now inspired to start mine! I want to do mine white, once I have my garage back.
Not for those wheels im not. There just junk konigs I had laying around. I didnt wanna get the Enkeis dirty so I threw those on the back, even though I have the Enkeis on the front. lol The final wheels are going to be Work Equips I have somewhere. :icon_biggmg89 said:

I use all 3m sandpaper to sand, 1000 being the final one used. Then I used Meguiars "professional" series to buff and polish.supradan22 said:
