Thanks man, gonna go check that out tomorrow

 

That just might be the route I have to go

 

use a hammer there is no point spending money to get it out when it's already broken...might as well have some fun and smach it...
and when your installing one...then take it to a shop and get it installed.....
but i love it...i want to see more pics~!!!!

 

You will see more pics tmrw.. when i get the damn windshield out, the only thing stopping me from breaking it, is the mess.. i might tape some sheet in behind for when i smash it, but its worth trying the tool first, and if that doesnt work, you can always return it.. , but i think im gonna install it myself, might end up getting the lexan windows all around

 

Well, picked up the tool from princess auto, got 3/4 of the glass out, and then it started to rain... so hoping to finish that off tmrw.

Interior work done:

So initial welding done:




Clean up the floor (vaccum and wipe down) before painting and sealing:
Before


After


Sealing it now:



Wait for it to dry.. then rust paint:





Now the whole interior... somewhat:


Tomorrow it gets painted with Truck bed liner... w00t w00t

 

bed lining weighs a ton. you sure you wanna do that considering on what you're building the for?

 

hmm... i guess, Im gonna have to see how much it weighs... damn, ummm we will see gotta think this over now. But its not like I will be lacing it though.. time to read.

 

Well.. officially done all the patches inside and out, tmrw my whole interior should be done, and painted black. I have all the parts that are gonna be used for a bit painted in flat black, gonna go buy an engine stand and pull the engine for the summer... and picking up my project engine, with the parts I want, I hope to be putting down about 300whp, and thats it. Well onto the pics of patches and such.







Gonna be welding the windshield patch tmrw, and believe it or not, in front of the sunroof there, and along the sides of the windshield, atlease like 1/2 inch of filler, I seriously wanted to cry. Anyhow, thanks for looking.

great work man!!...always inspiring me lol.....
can't wait to see the finish project...

 

well.. i figure its time i updated this... all the body work is done, and she goes in for paint at the beginning of spring, rims have been acquired (track and show and daily). The cf roof cap will be ordered soon also. I have my project engine in my garage, and im gonna start ripping it apart once I get some spare time. I hope to be attending a whole lot of track days with it this summer and also shows. The complete build wont be done till around spring of 2010, because I have to acquire a lot of parts, Im going to do little things over the winter in the garage, I dont have that much space to work.. so Im gonna do what I can. Also, what do you guys know about fuel tank relocation? I need some input, because I will be picking up a beater probably next year, and this one is going to be seeing strict track duty, so im going all out. Thanks guys.

what kind of update is that? pfftt i want something real with pix or GTFO!

 

its so freakin cold outside... lol, when I go out to work on the car, then i will snap some pics.

 

after seein ur floors i'm scared to take my carpet out and redoin mine....I'm already feelin a cold draft on my *****....

 

lol. the first time I ripped out all the carpet, it was like a beach in my trunk, sand everywhere and the sunroof drain plugs were all clogged up, someone put a stopper in one so thats why my trunk was so messed up, and they bent back the rocker panels, and welded on some stainless steel side skirts, so my rocker panels got pwned... i now have to fab up some rocker panels, maybe use angle iro or something.

 

my whole car is all redone on the outside... new quarters rockers the whole works windshield too... i left out the floors for last and like i said i'm scared to see the out come of rippin out the carpets..

 

why do you wanna relocated the fuel tank? what's wrong with where it is now?

 

because with a fuel cell (tahts what i meant by the tank relocation).. equals less weight... and im not gonna need tons of gas, thats what the odyssey+jerry cans is for. lol.

 

He's determined, I know he'll do it!
Let me know if you need any help

P.S. That does not include parts from the Caribbean! Saw a DC with USDM front this morning on the way to Georgetown, red in colour. And a blue JDM DC in Barbados lol!

 

^barbados have motrized vehicles? ZOMGGG!

 

bangdagears... how did you do your rockers? I gotta do mine still... and PJ i will definitely let you know, thanks man

 

sheet metal, bend mould into same look... then bonding adhessive and drill and screw into whatever left of the rockers and lip down below let dry...once dry remove screws and add putty to edges to smooth into one piece...sound more confusin then what it is...

 

so you just used sheet metal huh, i was thinking of going with angle iron because its stronger, and then welding it onto the body instead of drilling holes, sheet metal might work too, because I jsut need something there to support the side skirts really. any pics of your rockers?

 

as of now its real dirty lol.. but i'll try n take some pics for you....see i stayed as far away from welding as much as i could... what happens with weldin new things on is the metal from the body is weak from the years so it'll warp and by the time ur done and slap on paint.. it'll all be wavey as ----...

 

okay, yeah, if you can get pics, great, because I need to fab up something for the spring so that I can get her painted right away.

 

hopefully this helps

 

that works, but what are you doing for sideskirts?

 

none, i'm not a skirts kinda guy.. i prefer naked over skirts.. but if ur slappin on skirts u can screw into both wheel wells and ur skirt should hold regaurdless

 

yea, thats what i was thinking also, maybe just throw on a piece in the middle also, to hold it up in the middle of the skirt.

 

that'll work too.. that way u have a lil more support other than 2way tape down the side.

 

thanks for your help man... i guess im gonna make the plates over the winter, then weld em on in spring.

 

no problem bud... maybe someday you'll see me roll around and we'll meeet up that way u have better visual of everythin on my shitbox lol..

 

definitely, probably at some TI meets next spring.

 

^ when pigs fly

 

^lol.. ur a homoooo, you will see.

 

oh ignore him... he is a big homo :P

 

welll.. just picked up this beauty... if you dont know what it is.. and you "say" you love your DA... you dont actually love your DA.




and on a DA



btw... that guy is my hero.. he tracked his DA at Laguna Seca... chicka chicka yeee yeee

 

would look better wingless

 

That is the hiro lip for the DA, supposedly functional as well. Nice pick up, should look really good.
I think I've watched that video more times then I can count, amazing car.

 

yessir... its the Hiro wing, functional from what I understand also. And yea, that car is amazing, I love it. I think it will look great too.
