Dirty Dee's Build

I guess I will make a build thread.



It came with:
-rebuilt motor(doubting it after seeing some of the work that was done on the car)
-pacesetter header
-unknown 2.5" catback exhaust
-cone filter
-reupholstered door panels and glove box
-neon lights on the interior and ghetto 7" lcd tv w/ dvd player (all tossed or sold after purchase)
-and no passive seatbelt system



My mods:
- JDM manual seatbelts with trim
-JDM headliner (still waiting for pandagarage on that one)
-Energy suspension master bushing set
-Megan Racing
*Rear lower toe arms
*RUCAS
*Rear lower traction rods
-Kouki
*3-piece rear valence
*2-piece side skirts
-Alpine CDA-9856 HU
-16x8 +10 Rota Grids with 205/50 16R Eagle F1 GS-D3 tires
-Front and Rear SP slotted rotors
-Braided steel brake lines
-Hawk brake pads





Currently, I am stripping off the paint to bare metal to get the car painted. I am thinking of a pearl white with a small hint of pearl blue in the clear coat. The side skirts and rear valence will finally be painted and mounted.








Future planes:
-coilovers
-hlsd
-sway bars
-Engine swap
* CA18DET or 13B or 20B

Yeah, I remember when you said that. I will definitely let you give it a spin if I go with that route

k c- my neighbor gave me the idea for that color combo. It sounds like it will look really good

car kicks ass dirty dizzle

13b would be awesome but with gas prices as they are thats gonna hurt to drive

I know. But this car is only driven from may-october.

update:

got back from cali last night, so i started again on the bodywork






I am not going to deal with the hood anymore.... anyone know of any shops around here that have some cf or fiberglass hoods in stock?

touge factory. fo shizzooooooooooooo

how much weight u think u just took off the car?

well, i filled a 8 litre bucket twice already, and it wasnt too heavy. so i am guessing 4 pounds?

you crazy brotha man. rock on.

Did more work today, and I was able to salvage the hood thanks to a paint stripper that works for over 24 hrs. after application









the door and trunk jambs are a bitch and a half


Tomorrow is my last day of work, so I will finally be able to work more than 3-4 hrs. a day to strip it. Estimating the car will be in the bodyshop for paint by tues-wed.

you should go for the ratrod look



shit would be hot!

I should just spray some rust-colored paint on some spots and clear coat the rest of the car and slap the side skirts on just primered

nah, slam it (lay frame for sure) and let illinois weather rust it. just kind of flat black the bumpers or something

Car is finally painted. Here are some pics that my brother took. I will be going home this weekend to put it all back together

damn dude that things comin in nice bro.
whered you go for the paint? n how much did it cost?

i went to hqkustoms

i was quoted for ~1,200, but the windshield needed to be replaced, there was a bit more prep needed to be done, and towing both ways bumped the price up to 1,819.

So, from now til winter break I am going to have to eat ramen everyday sine I am a bit broke
