xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 this is the car im using for some parts to fix what the owner b4 me had done to this lude had to replace this whole front clip besides the bumper kuz the last owner decided to try and rally the car through a forest or some b/s like that. new trunk lid do to rust and dents. Reduced: 90% of original size [ 709 x 543 ] - Click to view full image this front bumper i had to do extensive fiberglass repairs, took my whole weekend to finish it, was prty f 'n REEEEDONCULOUSE!!! this is what my egine bay looked like when i bought the car. this is what it looks like now. these were what came on the lude when i bought, these tucked the wheel gap better but they look mad gay when there on i think and these i bought off of a friend they look alot better but theres a gap, like allmost my whole fist could fit between it(GAY??), but i cant slam it kuz of my front bumper alrdy sits about 2.5"-3.5" off the ground. so the only way i can think of is go with a 18" wheel kuz these are 16's with about a 3"sidewall on the tires. or ill just w8 til i finish the bdy kit and then start messin with the gap and what not. idk, any suggestions? future plans: 1.either swap a b18c or h22 vtec 2. all round suspension havent decided on what brand to go with yet, suggestions are welcome 3. either going to go pure n/a or boost depending on what motor i use 4.going to try and convert the headlights so there not flip ups (there so gay looking i think) if thats even possible i would sure like to no how i could do that or if its even possible, b4 i even try that kind of work 5.redo the whole interior prob go with a black leather with dark yellow stitch or red 6.finish my body kit so it flows properly 7.going to get ready to strip my paint and bondo thoughs dents up and then repaint the bitch either a nice dark metallic blue or a dark yellow like a orangish yellow thats it so far, if you have any suggestions as to what i should do as far as certain setups your more than welcome to post em up. please post up your negative and your positive comments as to thoughs are welcome here. basically gimme your best shot in a nut shell i can take it i promise HAHA!!!

xxhrdcr4lifexx Posted September 9, 2009 Author Share Posted September 9, 2009 if they are big spots do some fiberglass first, then a light coat of bondo. follow with 600 grit sanding,then paint when i finish the bdy kit i thought about fiberglassing them into the rest of the car for a seamless look but hey thats just me and theres only 1 dent that may need that done and its right next to my gas cover. its not like rly big or anything but i dont want to be using a sh!t ton of bondo to where it looks like some 1 had tried to make a cake out of my car you no.
