FC3S Murray · 08-25-2009, 10:36 PM

Good stuff man! White will look bad ass!!

project86 · 08-25-2009, 11:41 PM

im pretty stoked for it. the only thing thats gonna stop it from pearl is if i have to do a tri coat. im hoping there is just a base/clear option. lll know soon. i am gonna learn tri coats this year but either way ill be happy to have a dent free ride. i still NEED a s5 front bumper cover...a cheap one lol.

project86 · 09-03-2009, 02:15 PM

Ok... i got ALOT of my dirty bitch cleaned today. you can actuallly see the front subframe

. more paint details.. ill be using glasurit. and now pictures of how much cleaner it is after today. hopefully you can tell a big difference now compared to the pics of when i pulled the engine and tranny.

project86 · 09-03-2009, 02:17 PM

oh and .... im really thinkin about just choppin my harness right now so i can just get the bastard out of the way... good idea or bad. im not going to use it if i go pfc or haltech. but both of those should be able to still power headlights and all that other misc. electronic stuff yes?

prrex4ever · 09-03-2009, 06:55 PM

Awesome project, a labor of love.

project86 · 09-18-2009, 12:05 AM

^^thanks! and yes LOTS of labor. Alright all... so i have the engine bay pretty damn clean now. it does still need to be sanded and or scotch brote haha because of the peeling paint caused by my shitty bms when i first got the car. i currently have all the glass masked off for the time being and have started removing adhesive with the "crud thug". tomorrow ill begin hittin the paint with a grinder( HELL YA IM READY TO DO SOME BODY WORK!!!) i will post pics later, sometime tomorrow im sure i just dont have the motivation to do it now. i had a rough day and i just dont effin feel like it.. i woke up a 6:18 am to what i could have sworn was a car wreck outside my apt... until i walked into my bathroom and realized the ceiling caved in........

needless to say i was PISSED!! i call bullshit on shitty oldass apts.

project86 · 09-18-2009, 12:09 AM

oh and i forgot to say that now im arguing with myself over color now....it makes me sad... i cant decide on pearl white or the new addition... black cherry mica.... maybe i should take a poll. or maybe i should learn photoshop so i can create this shit.

***TitaniumTT*** · 09-18-2009, 06:02 PM

Black shows all your sins my friend.

project86 · 09-18-2009, 11:46 PM

ya.... i was thinkin that too.... it would be more of a dark purple. but still... i get it. i promise ill post pics soon

project86 · 09-24-2009, 11:50 PM

so i did some custom fab today and some kid that thinks he is from the future tried to tell me how to weld and i wanted to punch him in the farkin face. anyway, i removed my antenna and i was gettin a piece of sheet metal cut to fit the hole. i know ive been promising pics and they will be on soon. im sure you all understand how busy we can get. 30+ hours of work plus full time credits at the college can get kinda rough

FC3S Murray · 09-25-2009, 07:17 AM

Credits may be ruohg BUT worth it. Shit, you are building your car WHILE earning a degree! Be very happy bro, u are fortunate.

Pic on my cell looked great. Get some high res loaded here. Btw what are you doing sunday?

project86 · 09-26-2009, 01:39 AM

sunday i dont think im doing anything..... whats up?

FC3S Murray · 09-26-2009, 11:30 AM

I dont have the clutch chatter issue anymore. The old DOT 3 fluid was pure black! Still we should do a get togther tonight or something. Text me

project86 · 09-27-2009, 09:10 PM
