3 minute(s) of a 193 minute read

had to work all day today. between my regular day job, to running the rock wall for summit adventure systems, to mapping out an entire building to high speed ethernet for a framing company, my entire day has been booked solid.

I am finally home now, and I went to check my email..

this is what I came home to find in my email:

so yeah. tomorrow we wet sand and buff, and sunday/monday I will be putting it back together.

I keep looking at these pics! I CANT BELEIVE THIS IS MY CAR!!

700$ will buy you a box of primer, sealer, clear, reducer, and paint. 

the measuring things and filters are actually free when you buy this much stuff. 

come to think of it, the paint isnt even in this box. it was in the shop already.

here is a few more pics for your enjoyment.

one coat of primer, sanded. 

one coat of sealer/adhesion promoter.

base coat of non oem red, (to cover the sealer and get the color started)

two coats of tornado red (standard alternate)

and I dont even know how many coats of clear are on it.. but the thing is like glass...

today we buffed and wet sanded some more and I started putting it back together. I installed a new antenna that I got from germanautoparts, but the cable to it was too short to run the oem cable path, so I had to ddrill a hole in the B pillar and spend a half hour trying to fish it down through. (pain in the ass...)

unfortunately, the pictures I took today never made it to my jump drive.. but at least I got the dashboard back in and the drivers seat.. tomorrow we are going to paint all the the black parts, like headlight trim, grill, fender wells, patches on the b pillar and around the hatch, etc etc. 

and if worldimpex ever decides to ship all the rest of my parts, Ill get the rest of it put back together..

I finally found my little 16v badge that blew out the window too.
