Most of the time I post pictures of my car on this site I have had body damage showing. Such as:
My first wreck which was my fault: https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...orVideo076.jpg Then I fixed it and made it look like this: https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...tibs/Angy3.jpg I did some body work and visited a body shop to schedule the paint for the next day. After leaving the body shop I stopped at a stop sign so the guy in front of me could back his big ass truck over my front end just for shits and giggles: https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/.../Photo0183.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/.../Photo0169.jpg After this accident I bought a new used car and the Tib became just a project car until 4 months later my lemon of a Mazda had some rods blow through the block so now the Tib is my new DD for the past month. I had been driving it like this: https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...PICT0216-1.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...PICT0217-1.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...PICT0218-1.jpg And I tried this but it was way too low: https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...s/PICT0316.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...s/PICT0311.jpg So, finally this weekend I decided to do some seriously need body work on my car and primer. I also got a stock bumper and cut the crooked H out and added some Garage Door Bottom weatherstrip to the bottom of the car. This all rough because I didn't have anything finer then 290 for sand paper but I needed the car to look decent again https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...bs/Image10.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...ibs/Image2.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...ibs/Image3.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...ibs/Image4.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...ibs/Image6.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...ibs/Image7.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...ibs/Image8.jpg And about two weeks ago I cleaned out the engine bay, changed the valve cover (I have Beta II cover now but I don't have recent engine pics) out and painted a couple things: https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...s/PICT0277.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...s/PICT0278.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...s/PICT0279.jpg https://i222.photobucket.com/albums/...s/PICT0284.jpg The red wire loom for the fans will be redirected and covered in black wire loom very soon. Of course there is a lot I have planned for the future of this car but that's too much to write and I know you guys love pictures more. Check out my interior in the Interior Showroom section. |
Yeah, but does it come with air conditioning?
j/k I'm glad you got it together. fing02.gif The stock lip looks surprisingly decent with the side skirts on there. |
^^^it does not...yet. I installed all the A/C parts you gave me but I'm having a leak and clog issue possibly.
As far as the front goes I would like to add the cadamuro lip kit and call it done...we'll just see when I can afford it if I can actually get it. And for the hood I would like the Scoote but I think I'm just going to settle for stock hood until I can shell out the money. Plus their out of stock. This hood is damaged beyond repair but hopefully things will work out with Red Z and I will have a new stock hood soon which I will primer the same color. |
wtf happened to the hood???
lol more bad luck? good to see it's coming along nicely! engine bay is beautiful! how'd you get the head to shine? |
every think of making a custom brush guard for the front so you don't mess up the front of your car anymore?
just kiddin man, looks good |
i was so pissed about the hood man. I installed it and then two weeks later I had to drive the car to my dad's garage so I could work on something, I can't remember what but on the way the old latch broke cause it was already bent kinda and the hood flew up. I was going extra slow to but 20 mph's will lift a hood quickly still.
I still have the driverside fender laying around tho, I decided its way too much work to mess with so I'm going to put it up for grabs soon I think. I cleaned the head with "Simple Green Heavy Duty BBQ Cleaner". You can find it at Home Depot for like 5 bucks a can. Spray it and let it sit for about 15 minutes and then hose it down. Mine was really nasty too so this stuff works pretty good. I also used a toothbrush for the areas that were stubborn. |
crap man, i'm sorry-...
i'll have to try that simple green on the head though! |
