I sanded any of the rough spots that I didnt like or didnt look smooth. Then for the engine bay I used I temp primer, high temp paint, and high temp clear.
here is a side view of my car. I am thinking if I want to run the rims I have now or these rims:
with these rims 16x7
or
i think both of those would look really ugly…
go with a dark wheel
Why not use spray on bed liner for the trunk? And I vote light silver color for the wheels.
notice what i said was in future tense… as in i havent done it yet
ah, didnt catch that. do yourself a favor and only strip the sections that have rust, and prime it with a professional grade epoxy auto body primer, rattle can primer is about worthless. and stripping to bare metal removes the e coat, which is actually great rust protection
yeah i was only going to try and sand the rusted parts of the floor, and just repaint over everything, thanks for the advice ! :tup:
really? Honestly I have never had a problem with rattle can primer if you get the better stuff. I will let you know how it holds up. It will be a good test run for the DIY people.
keep the trunk painted black no carpet IMO… did u fill in the holes from the bottle i had in it?? also, I would go with a matte black wheel!!! the ones u have on the current picture posted are IMHO ugly as fawk!!:lol:
edit: paint the OEM sideskirts body color:)
I think u should buy my rims :tup: http://nyspeed.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62075
did u originally buy those off me…???

Pull the lsd tranny and swap in the cable tranny
Put in the 650 injectors
Have it retuned
Plans for the Del Sol
Get the seats redone
Get the car repainted silver
Put the lsd tranny and the built motor back in the car
Bolt everything back together
Have it tuned
where are u getting the seats redone and have you been quoted a price
I am having the seats redone at a shop by mine, I will pm you all the info when i get the quotes on monday, The seats are out and ready to go.
I pulled the rails off the seats and I am stripping them down and refreshing the rails so the look new again.
cool thanks a bunch, what color scheme are you going with?
I am going to run black and gray for both of the crx and the del sol seats. Black as the main color and then gray accents in the middle.
Update:
Been working on the CRX during my free time. In the process of cleaning up and sanding the engine bay, then repainting it like I did the del sol. I went thru the interior and replaced all the bolts and screws missing. Next I will be getting my new seats and then getting it all repainted black.
Here are some pics of the process:
cant wait to see this t hing done. After 4 years i just got to the point where i was DONE with it…haha
Andy your nuts with both of these built machines lol. I love it, great progress with both in such a short period of time.
Looks like you have made very good progress
why not finish one at a time?
