Well, progress has been made but it's not all on the car. It's toward the car, just not on it. Since my garage is such a ****show, I've had to do a ton of work on it to be able to make forward progress on the car. I've been insulating and painting the OSB walls in chunks as I go around, which means rearranging all the crap and then moving it back, etc.
Last weekend I pulled down a section of wall in order to wire in a 240v outlet. Here is the result.
6.5hp, 2-stage, 80gal, flows 16.9 SCFM @ 90psi and 16.0 SCFM @ 175psi. My father in law passed away on Christmas Day last year so we've been slowly accumulating his lifetime's worth of tools, including this compressor. I'd rather have had him still around and bought my own compressor, but as that is not an option I'm still thankful for the tools. This thing will come in super handy for painting the car, as well as running air tools and all kinds of stuff around the place.
The only progress on the car itself is that it's been almost completely sanded with 80grit and I got a front bumper cover. Turns out that www.oemlexusparts.com is about fifteen minutes from my last jobsite, so I ordered it from them and only paid $433 after tax. All I need now is sideskirts and door moldings and I'll be set. Hoping to pick up a DA sander and some 220grit pads and start getting the car a little more ready for primer. I'd like to spray primer in a couple of weeks and then really start making progress.
