#467270BCVIP, update and execution
So after a long time coming i finally have an update that is worthy of posting,the car's Paint and body was LONG overdue for an update, and i decided it was time to address this and update it,
there was a fairly large dent on the Passenger side fender, And the hood,
All sorts of little door dings nicks scratches ect..... I also wanted to get rid of the horrible trailer marker lights they used to get the car through inspection and paint the mirrors so they looked good again.
First coat of paint
Mixing up the first coat of clear
SEM thunder Blue and Stardust gold flake put in the clear.
The paint (Still needs wetsanding at this point but am waiting to let the car harden, paint shrink and really assess the job that was done
A mostly re-assembled picture of the car under some Best Buy lighting (it's been poor weather since getting it back)
and lastly onto the next set of mods:
I was supposed to get a completely re-assembled Car back from paint, however since i didn't i took the opportunity to order up some suede and start the update to the interior,
The plans are: A. B C Pillar re- cover, Headliner, Door cards and handles, Seats and console,
The old tired nissan "tweed" from the 90's ...
and the new, I'm also replacing every broken clip and fastener as i go so as to not have any rattles or poorly fitting panels in the end of all this.
Next on the to do list will be the trunk (torn on weather to bag the car or not) and some VIP like accessories.
Comments, Questions, ideas are all more than welcome!
