The project I didn't mean to have.

[ttop88]

The other half worked Friday and had a wedding to go to Sat. That left me with alot of time on my hands. So I started a project I never intended to do. A while back I picked up a 90 lx that looked rough but runs and drives like new. I started taking it apart thursday after work and went to the storage unit and picked up a clean hatch. Dug through the garage and got a rear bumper, fender and wing. I had a three day weekend to do as much damage as possable. I think I did pretty good. I wasn't building a show car so I didnt over do it. The car will spend most of it's time outside and will be driven hard. I still haft to put on the DS fender and swap the hatch and rear bumper but that will wait till next weekend. It will get a wet sand and buff as well. But for now this is what I did in a weekend. I sprayed it at 2pm Sunday.
Started with this:

went to this Saturday:

Got to here Sunday:

Not bad for a weekend, but believe me... It was A LOOOONNNNGGG weekend!

I'm not a name caller but I too love those wheels, what are you doing with them, I say polish them and put them on that clean piece of metal.

That looks great. You got a lot of chit done!

Um.... NO!!!! No Krylon, Dutch boy, Dupli color or even the ever popular Rustoleum. No brushes or rollers where used. I have an air compressor and a HVLP spray gun. I grew up in a body shop. Picked up a thing or two along the way.
