Even though this is going to be a slow ass build, I think I deserve my own topic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
The day I brought it home: (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/20160906_195217_zpseck0v49n.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/20160906_195202_zpsjwf7zafi.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/Naamloos-2_zpscsabnfur.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/14203152_10208092297769436_7226532420298336775_n_zpse30vl0pe.jpg) As you can see, the car is pretty OK but needs some TLC here and there. I took out the ugly ass speaker box between the seats (barely visible on the following pic) and removed the sun visors: (IMG:https://scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/14726262_221432101595578_5581125656860688384_n.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/blankingplates_zps10keyzuk.jpg) And since this week, I have a lip installed! (IMG:https://scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/15035600_114922445656109_1124013205018902528_n.jpg) It's a cheap and s**tty fibreglass lip. In the future I'm going to upgrade to a PU one. I promised myself never to use zipties... But I don't see any other way to attach the lip. This will have to do for now. Other than that.. These arrived in the mail today: (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/20161110_201253_zpsjogjk224.jpg) These will replace the ugly orange blinkers that are on the car now. Future plans: -Slowly freshen up the engine, replacing everything I can do myself. -Lower the car a bit but not too much, kinda "functional" stance. -New wheels (15x7). Currently on 16x? and they're in rough shape. Smaller wheels also fit the car better imo. I'm thinking Rota/JR Wheels, or something else that's relatively cheap but decent. -As said, going to replace the front lip for PU ones, and also getting side skirts and a rear lip. Also maybe a ducktail/low spoiler. -Replace the complete exhaust system. -Either get the seats fixed or replace them for second hand ones that are in good shape. -Replace the steering wheel and shift knob. -Get rid of the wooden trim (it's peeling off and it's not OEM). -Replace the orange reflectors for white (front) and red (rear) or all white. -Delete the antenna including the base. So yeah.. That's it for now. Thanks for reading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) This post has been edited by Daniel.: Nov 10 2016, 07:53 PM |

My first picture is what it looks like stock, they always push the flange completely flush when rolling it.
Pulling them does involve more work like you and faran said. You are much more likely to mess up your paint because you are basically bending the metal and the paint can crack. Usually they heat up your paint while so that doesn't happen. |
