where did you get the mazdaspeed pedals?
I bought them from a fellow on here for like 40$, clutch pedal is pretty worn out tho, a set should cost you like 100$, and you have to drill out the holes for your gas pedals, cuz the MS speed pedals is held on with bolts and nuts, its pretty simple
So heres my most recent update.. i JUST finished dealing with all the rust, im pretty proud of myself! I debadged my trunk as well, im gonna make a how-to post about that later. Heres how it went down in a few pictures...!
First off, sanded very throughoutly the fender with 80grit
Primered with antirust primer, and also added some mesh behind to make the repair much more efficient
Filled with bondo
Sanded down with 80grit, then 150 to "featheredge"
Removing the side skirts.. I found this... you can imagine my reaction!
3 coats of primer applied
Doing the fenders, I found some buddles right over both my headlights.. (Kinda hard to see.. but they're there and theyre heavy, f*cking cancer!)
Doin the same with my passenger-side fender
I wanted to debadge the pro5 for preventive measures.. I see ALOT of p5's over here in Quebec with lots of rust coming from the emblem..
and ofcourse... because it looks awsome (shady)
Applied the same treatment
After 3 coats of primer, 3 coats of 22V sunlight silver paint, 3 coats of clear
How good does that look!!!!!
I dun 'goofed up a little on the hatch.. paint everywhere on the windows.. But its an easy fix.
I realised I had to do something about the doors and the underneath part of the side skirt.
so I got to work again.. Looks messy because I havent given the car a good wash in a while.. It caught all the sanding dust from the bondo
Oh.. While doing bodywork.. I noticed this hanging from underneath the car... can we still call this a "heatshield" ??
The whole body work process took about 2 weeks since I wanted to take it slow & do a good job. I think it turned out
AWSOME
Now for today.. Ive done what I wanted to do for a looooooooong time. Paint the damn calipers (Isnt that what most ppl do FIRST on their car? it took me 1 and a half year lol)
Started off with a "before picture" , im gonna post the "after" later down!
Painted my calipers yellow.. I think red is over-rated
My masking job was not as bad as I think it would be
the "after" shot, after painting calipers, painting rusty axle nut / center cap, after cleaning the wheels throughoutly .. I forgot the tire-shine
