Nice work, are you planning to leave the window posts blue, or paint them black? Also the window trim, will that be blue or black?

The plan for now is for the Posts to be blue and the window trim to be black. Depending on the feeing we get from it will determine if it gets changes.

The nice thing with paint is you can sand and redo it.


My wife had a 92 Hatch Lx in the color and she really liked it, so I wanted to go with the same color. We will be giving her the car Christmas eve.

We had a lot of trouble with the base, There was some rattle can on the car and the base kept lifting in places from it. ended up costing me another 1/2 gallon of base but it is done today. Pics in a little while.

The clear has a Lot of Orange peel to it, so We will have to sand it heavy in a few weeks.

It is at the glass shop for a new windshild today, headliner is at the trim shop, Pony wheels will get paint today, and reassemble the interior tomorrow.

I still need a good set of gray front seats, Fox or the gen afterwards if anyone has some hit me up.

Thanks




Car is almost back together. The wheels are giving us a bit of a fit, we think the shop was just to cold to shoot paint.

Tomorrow is the day. I traded the Welds for some seats in Gray to match the rest of the interior.

Gave her the car, She is very happy.

Some pics


This is Wad's car, he is my resident expert and helped finish everything up.


Scott who did the most of the last work to the car, it would not have been finished on time without him.
