so like i said ive been consuming myself with projects and really havent had the time to update with pictures we;; since i live in a crap hole of awesome weather and since my welder is outside well im to a point where i need it and cannot use it so might as well post some pics before i get too many and have a rather large post.....
So I guess ill start off with pics of how the car looks like now and has for the past two weeks due to the shitty weather and work....
i miss driving it so much this spring isnt much of a spring when its raining every day and is getting to be below freezing again!
Anyhow another reason its taking me awhile to get the car together is the amount of projects i set forth upon myself.....
one of the ones i was most scared to do was the fender markers but i just grabbed my ruler went thru a couple of diys and felt semi comfortable....well the markers i had unknown to me where ep3's my heart sank when i test fitted them and well they went in but where easily moved around. so the guy i got them from had eg ones but would not be able to meet up with him for a week.....so i went on ebay and said screw it bought a set of ef side markers later finding out that they where comming from new zeland
well thinking i may have to put the car back together with a hole in the fenders i thought to myself how to make the ep3s work and well after looking at a eg write up i found the efs where close to the same dimensions so waited for those worked out a deal for some of the v8 edlebrock stuff i had laying around that wasnt worth much of anything did a trade got the markers and the next day the ef markers came in a week ahead of schedule.....
dont have pics of the ep3 or eg markers but heres the efs after they just arrived
So after my fenders where sorted and during the whole fender fiasco i decided to check the all mighty bumper supports and also do the civic "shuttle" bumper swap....Thankfully my front support was fine as the wagon i took it off of was rust free
why the hell would you put something like that in a junk yard!.....so that cleaned up decently and did not need any repairs....
didnt take a before picture as i was just working diligently
I used this to paint the rust found it in home depot looking for the fabric glue spray and some other things that will be used on other projects....
well now that was done i went about doing the rear
unlike the front the rear was not so good thankfully there where only 3 major areas i had to cut out and a wiring brush took care of the rest.
Actually found a sneaky shot of the front core support before hand lol and the rear bumper free of its support
template time
So after cutting out three sections and making three templates and then cutting them out on metal im at this point
Just thought id update show how things where progressing this not having a garage thing blows but cant do much about it but do what i can and wait for a decent day to where i can finish alot of the other projects i have laying around.....
So let me know what you think
