Message Okay, final saved up for the paint job.


 · I'm going on year 2 of ownership. 1991 NA, 83K Miles. In year 1, I did the following: Powertrix Tension Rods/Camber Arms, Plugs, Radiator, Fuel Filter/Hoses/Regulator/Dampener, new AC, Unorthodox Pulley Set, Brembo Rotors/Hawk HPS Pads, Gram Light Wheels, JDM Tail Lights, Exhaust.

Whew...., Cha-Ching...., Bend Over...


Time to Paint


 · Found a good painter in Denver: Porter Auto Body. He needed bumpers, mirrors, tail lights, etc off the car. I did this myself to save $500, and for the experience.


 · A couple of pics of the stripped car (going wingless-bought the hatch last year from a donor):





 · Transporting to Porter Auto Body:



 · Wayne chemically stripped the hood:



 · Bondo skim coat to cover years of small dings:





He's going to prep it nice, 2-3 coats of Nissan AH3 (Cherry Red), 3 coats of clear, and wet sand to a high-gloss finish. Should take about 3 weeks.
I'm planning on posting more pictures next week.
