spent a few hours on the ho this weekend
well after a ton of sanding and painting and what not I racked up about 7 hours this weekend getting the exterior back into better shape. I repainted the rear bumper and side skirts. touched up paint around the car, worked on a little rust, grill mesh in the front bumper, and I had to sand off those effing little bits of pin striping, it was VERY tooth grinding work but after some re-painting fanned out to color match and some buffing it looks a better. there are still spots around the car where you can tell its 9 years old with 200000 miles but it really not to bad. after a good wash and wax when it warms up I'll probably be done with the exterior. its spruced up enough now to get me by for a few years until I upgrade cars. now I just need to get the sway bars and lowering springs dropped in and hopefully the exhaust rebuild will be done a few weeks, then well, the ho will probably be done. in some spare time in the upcoming weeks I plan to paint a few interior components but I don't plan on dropping any more money into the car unless it to keep it running or regular maintenance. either way I'm glad I spent the time I did this weekend, she looks a ton better.
