Looking good. What are you getting done? Just a respray plus bodywork or anything more extravagant?
|
Oh man. Those rims & interior are going to be a bitch to clean up afterwards. :(
Trenell couldn't you borrow steelies from someone just to bring it to the bodyshop or what? |
What colour?
|
what kind of yellow/beige paint is that?
|

^^he's probably referring to the other end, inside the side sill...
|
damn it's gonna look sweet :)
|
are you getting all the rust fixed? I really hate how body shops get dust all over your interior
|
^ dust is a biatch!!
i dont know T, but from the looks of the pics, the rust in the rear fender looks like it may pop back up in maybe a year or so!!! |
Where is this getting done?
|
Hey how come they dont remove taillights, mirrors and 1/4 windowmoldg.?
From what i see there is a lots of Bondo. :( |
hey T, shave the antenna, and the rear squirter one time, trust me, i wish i rememberd to do that ----. and clean your interior! (first time i can say that to jOO! :P)
|
Tony: Respray plus body work.
Marty: Rims is gonna be easy to clean. That's only about a weeks worth of dirt. For most people a months worth. Interior won't be too bad, it just sucks that it was mint before it went in. Jeff: Same frost white Simo: it's not paint or primer ;) Reza: The other side has no rust, I know it's still on in the pics, but I've checked personally myself before hand. Wayne: There is no fixing rust, but I know what you mean. So far the sideskirt part was grinded then cut and welded. I'm not sure what they're gonna do about the inner lip on the quarter though. In all honestly, I could care less. Jay: Only time will tell, but from my experience rust always returns. If not in the same place, somewhere else. Stealth1: Velocity Autobody Mane: They're painting seperate doors and mirrors. You didn't think I'd have the rear mouldings shaved and not the doors? They will remove the taillights, when they paint. It's only masked to avoid scuffing the lense cover during prep work. I'll ask them if they'll remove the 1/4 moulding, but from my research they can't re-use it and if that's the case, I'd rather them just do the stick a straw or something underneath to lift it up instead. So Mane your telling me bodyshops don't use "bondo" and if you think the yellowish stuff is bondo it isn't. Fuzzy: NO....hahaha |
Guys he's lying about the paint colour...he's actually painting it TEAL like Fuzzy's...they want to be twins...lol

Dude, your gonna be like a kid on xmas morning when its done!
Too bad you couldnt source out the OEM sides and the 97 ITR lip in time. Unless you did? Fresh paint, fresh motor, what else can you ask for! Cant wait to see it when I get back. |
when i had my car painted they cut out all the rust and welded in new sheet metal, even along the bottom of the driver's side door. i rolled my fenders before it went for paint too, really glad i did that!

^^lmao...Fuzzy stop being so emo...just because Trenell loves to wear Pinstripe suits and Square front shoes doesn't mean he isn't cool enough to have the same colour as you...:giggle: :laugh1: :lol: :willy:
|
hey man i like those rims(got the same ones) good luck with the body work......
|
looks good brother your lucky that you can take pics while its beeing done i couldn't, but it looks like its gonna be GRRRRRRREAT!!!!!
|
Hey Trenell did u always have your emblems shaved ? if not do u have the rear one? umm i need 1. name a price if u can hook me up
|
I'll bring them to the meet on Wednesday. You can have them for free.
|
for real? oh wow im gonna go to a meet should be interesting. Are weds meets still at kennedy commons?
|
nope..
sherway gardens area. |
Cant wait to see the fresh paint on sunday! Your interior is gonna need lots of TLC after everything is done. I hate cleaning up after getting the car back from the bodyshop.
|
I dunno... I love cleaning my car after getting it back from the shop. It's kind of like the last step before the "new" car.
Plus, I hate when body shops clean cars anyways... they use the same dirty ass rag for everything! Them wiping and vacuuming just makes it worse, you have to do it again when you get home anyways. Can't wait to see it at next meet's week Tren! |
sweet T
can't wait to see it.. |
lookin' good T hopefully i'll have mine back for sunday too. photoshoot!!!!!
|

For the picky ones, the taillights are coming out and the driverside sideskirt is coming off as well before paint. Then anyone that wants to check out the quarter panels can do so at the meets...cough cough Jeff ;) |

First year I got it, I had it oil sprayed. Second year stored due to not having insurance(remember that..lol) This past year, motor build :D |
the car is coming along nicely Trenell! I'm sure we will all by drooling over it at the next meet.

unfortunatly no pics of the metal work
they close at 6 and I usually get there by 5:40 so they're packing the cars away for the day, by then. I wish I had a day off where I could go during the day and see them welding and ----. I mean I've seen them doing it, just not on my car :( sucks I want my car back and I have to wait another week :( :( :( |

probably looks like dis:
Attachment 22581 T-bag, how far up did they cut and weld? or did they just do the lip? |
1 Attachment(s)
I think they just did the lip. I can't tell without getting my head in the wheel well. When I got there, they had finished with putting the fiberglass over the welded area and was starting to cover the fiberglass with the "rage" (I believe it's called, Jeff would know) bodyfiller.
Surprisingly the worst spot on my car was here Attachment 22580 :dunno: |
T where were u, I had dem free emblems?
|
hey T will it be ready for sunday?

Last Update before the final assembly
The Body's painted, along with the other small pieces. They forgot to paint the stock side skirt on the driverside :mad: because it was going to be hidden under the wings west sideskirt, so he figured that it wouldn't matter. Just some miscommunication within the company, so that's going to be finished tomorrow before pick up. For the quarter panel mouldings, they lifted up the moulding and stuck a straw underneath to hold it up, so I have no hard paint lines. Same goes for the front windsheild. The roof mouldings were taken off completely and the doors have no weather stripping on it at all. The taillights were taken out and have been replaced already in the pics. The mirrors, bumpers, and wings west sideskirts were all painted seperate from the car. So far I haven't seen any over spray, but I'll check that in detail when I pick it up tomorrow. Quarters look decent, but I couldn't get down since it was wet outside so those as well will be inspected once I pick up the car. Anyways on to the pics, if you have any questions just post, no secrets here it's all a learning experience.

So he said if they don't and just so happen to stay exactly where they are, they'll adjust them again, so no worries there. |
looking good mang! welcome to the no side molding club :P
|
Sooooo fresh and soo cleeean cleeean
|
YAY T. that looks awesome. mine got sprayed today should be assembled tomorrow. we should get together and clean our interiors out.
|
looks very good, i think i was the last one to see it before it went to the bodyshop. And the condition it was in just b4 it went in wasn't that great. Looks really good and can't wait to see it in person.
|
I can't wait until tomorrow!
