Welllll some of you already know my car is not in the grade A condition. That kind of started to bothers me. So I’ve decided to change it a little. Here are some shots of whats going on. Everything should be done by the end of the month or the first week of next month. Once again Central Auto from Ridgewood, NY is doing all the work.

I wanted to strip everything out of my car for this so nothing would be damaged by accident.

Overall the car is beat and tired, it needs the roof welded, a full paintjob and alot of dents knocked out of it.

Windshield has been removed to repair the roof, its also getting replaced.

Well this Sunday has been one of the most insane Sundays yet. Basically it turned out to be 3 Manual Swaps, 2 Suspension installs, 2 transmissions rebuild. 5 guys 16 hours total! - Must be a new record.

I purchased a Quaife LSD and Tein SS-P w/EDFC from FrankMB and decided that it was a good idea to install everything in 1 day. Its 1:46 PM and I just got to work, lol.

Special Thanks to Eugene, Angel(Sleeper-VR4) Jason(MrJayDeeOne), Craig(fetal1), Anthony(not a member of this board) for helping with this nightmare of a project. If this job did not have the right amount of people none of this would have been done.

lots of work to be done. the roof looks good, and now we're wondering why that crash bar was removed.... good luck with everything :)

Good luck with the project, full paintjob? Was your car garage kept mostly?

GOOSEY2099
04-20-2007, 12:44 PM
Its not garage kept, the rust is because the car was involved in a front end collision by the lst owner. So when they replaced the windshield there was some crap there that started to rust 2 months after i got her. Its actually more work then you think. There is alot of things being done while the car is there. You'll see some pics on sunday.

I think they stopped making them a couple of months ago, they were $300 then they dropped it down to $100 and everyone from TGC jumped on them and bought them out. Good luck getting them now. But its a really good bar. Comes with bushings as well.

That box wasn't a turbo, that was body parts for this paint job.

For your paint try the 350z Platinum color or Aston Martin Vanquish Platinum color.

The color that it is now is nothing like whats in the pics. Doorjams got painted and the enginebay will be black until aug. In fact I actually like my engine bay black.

"Took a shit on me" >??? My tranny hasn't taken a shit on me at all. I was just upgrading to hold more and even power. In fact after beating the shit out of it for a year and some, when we took it apart everything was perfect inside. No cracked/chipped gears, not too much crap on the magnet either.

I don't want to post the actual color of the car yet. What you see in the pics is just the base coat. To tell you the truth I don't think a camera can capture the true color but we'll see. I'm gonna be at the shop on sat/sun. If you want to see you should stop by.

The car is still not done, i have some more work to finish on her today(saturday). They are suppost to finish polishing it sunday and thats it. The price that i got, is not what you are gonna get. Lets just say that its $1000 in materials alone. So you'd be looking at around $5-7K for something like this.

The car looks ridiculously nice! I saw it when I had to drop off my headlights at his work a couple weeks back. Pictures won't do a paint job like that justice. You have to see it in person. :D
