Figured since I was doing a bunch this winter I’d throw up a thread on it.
This is before winter started:
This winter picked up a set of 15" TE37s, function/form coilovers, rear disc setup, and other odds and ends. Also tucked the entire headlight harness and cleaned up some vac line routing.
Right now it’s in the body shop getting a full respray and some dings/chips fixed.
mostly it was just door dings and/or scratches here and there. There were alot of chips from highway driving. The roof had a section that needed fixed from a half ass attempt at repairing it by another shop after I drove into the garage with a bike on the roof rack. There was a spot of rust under the rear wiper too.
The SiR bumpers needed resprayed because a local shop did a horrible prep job and they were peeling like crazy.
Basically, it was just easier to respray everything rather than a spot job. Plus it will be straight as an arrow now, smooth paint, etc. It’ll look like how I’ve always wanted it to. Plus the guarantee doesn’t hurt.
Stopped by the shop on Saturday. It’s ready for paint just had to do some samples to figure out the new paint (factory with the pearls hopped up a little). tires are mounted on new wheels, got my jdm thin moldings, and some other parts ready to go on. Hopefully will have it in my garage by this weekend so I can get it put back together for Carlisle.
Got it home and started reassembling. Once this is all finished up I’m getting back to the built block, but I’m going to run it for a while on this LS and see what I can do to better the times. Traction bar and lsd should help.
. It looked great before, cant wait to see it with the new paint and parts.
