Ohhhhh ok. Sorry then. When you get a chance, even if im not online, leave me an offline message, or PM me. I want to know when your good to go for the swap, im good to go anytime after this tuesday.

love the progress babe.....can't wait to cruise with you in my sexy civic lol

Thanks Michelle. Yes I can't wait for the cruising like we did last summer.

Looking good... If you don't wanna buy a new carpet go to crappy tire and get the vinyl/carpet dye. Works really well and looks good.. Did it on mine

looooks amazinggg..is this your first time with body work or do you have a body work shop? and i had a problem when installing my front bumper..my bumper and fender didn't alight too perfect dont know why..do you know why that might be? and theres a little gap from my cf hood to the bumper

I have done body work before in the pass, and just getting them to line up takes time, alot of moving the panels around to get them just right.

Well here are some more pictures from yesturday working on the car. I got everything else stripped off the car that needed to come off. Got all the side moldings, side mirrors, and window molding that keeps the water out all off the car. I also removed the cluster and installed my real carbon fiber gauge bezel and put LED lights in it. Also got all the rubber window moldings taped up, and started doing the doors on the car. I also started to fit meshing into the front bumper, and removed the tail lights and the antenna. Here are the pictures.

SIIIIICK. Shave the sidemouldings pleaaaaaase. I really want to do that with mine. Now that you have yours off do it uppppp. You gonna paint the mesh black or keep it silver?

No I'm not shaving the moldings off, they look like ---- with them off, and it's a ---- load more work to fill the holes. I'm going to be painting the meshing black as well.

nice work...you gonna be shaving the atenna? i agree with vida should shave the side moulding tegs look sweet without them...i too will be shaving mine come spring.

nice work on the grill, you putting a lip on that?

Very nice, if I ever have to repaint the front bumper I'm going to put a grill similar to that. My brackets and the center strip that went across the middle of the "mouth" part of it are messed hard from the raccoon I hit a while back anyways.

Inspiring work. Keep it up.

Here's some more pictures of the car from work done on Saturday evening. Got the roof all straighten and primed, as swell as the whole right side of the car.

:yeah: I like that, it'll look good.

wow your car is gonna turn out awsome, wish i had the materials and time to repaint my teg. its looking fantastic!

Thanks. The car is being done by pros, but I'm helping as well, as my dads doing most of the work, as this is what he does, prep and paints cars every day.

cant wait to see more pictures and the work thats being done to your car is amazing..as you said pros are doing it..how much would it have cost for the same job with a teg in similar condition as yours? and are you repainting black?

wow man that is looking really good.

It would normally have costed around $3000 most likely, but the car is not at a cheap shop tho, that's why it would cost so much, you pay to get the best.

I had the side mouldings shaved on my old 96 teg years ago, the year after you could see where the work kind of sunk in a bit and you could see the holes, had to have the sides of the car redone again. I didn't shave the mouldings the next time.

Nice work by the way

nice work dude look forward to seeing the finished product.

Well todoy we got the bumpers and my type-r spoiler all sanded and wet sanded down, and they are ready for paint.

yay more progress cant wait too see it.

The car should be done in just over 2 weeks.

personally i wouldn't bother with the mesh in the bumper, not like that at least. i tried the same thing with my bumper and no matter what i tried i couldn't get it to look as good as i wanted. i just ended up scrapping the idea and kept it all open.

I just redid it and cut the whole center out, and then i'm putting the mesh on it from the back now, looks way better.

yea from the back is better. got a lot more surface to work with.


nice work.

glwb

So today the body guy got the 1/4 panel hole fixed with new metal, and got is all straight, plus he filled in the antenna hole, and the other holes in the trunk lip from a wiring for the factory wing like. Here's a picture of just the 1/4 panel still being worked on.

Well the car is pretty much almost ready to be painted. The body guy if finishing the car tomorrow, and my dad will be finishing getting it ready to be painted by him. My car was worked on all day today, and it should be ready for paint by mid next week. I can't wait to drive it with not rust anywhere on the body, and all the rust cut out and all new metal put in. All get more picture on Saturday when I go in to work on it some.
