project86 · 09-27-2009, 09:15 PM

this was basically initial clean up (obviously) as you can see my bms raped the paint on the drivers side so that was a big mess. its still not completely cleaned.....

project86 · 09-27-2009, 09:20 PM

this is the welding and spark paper on the glass and the re-effin-diculous amount of filler that i had to grind off the damn door from the people that did the last (what looked to be) 4 repair jobs. someone apparently halfass welded around the door handle which caused me headache but i got it handled now

project86 · 09-27-2009, 09:23 PM

i said goodbye to that old fugly antenna nub and shaved that shit off. looks WAY better now.

project86 · 09-27-2009, 09:28 PM

project86 · 09-29-2009, 11:13 AM

hey... if someone could answer this real quick for me i would appreciate it. is there a difference in the turbo hood latch spring and the na hood latch spring since the na hoods are steel and the turbo ones are alum. im tryin to fit my cf hood and i cant get the fucker to latch.

djmtsu · 09-29-2009, 12:00 PM

Don't know for sure....but I can tell you I have had a TII hood on my NA latch for 5 years now without issue.

Might be something wrong with the hood? Maybe the latch, or hinges need adjusting.

I have heard that before. I swapped latches when I swapped hoods between my 2 cars to be safe.
