LinuxRacr's Car Progress Log..

bondo is a proper way of fill, but in the auto world its better, more like a putty. And thats what should be used for best surface. It will not crack or leak. Its what some collision places use to fix dents.

 

[RyanJayG]

bah! steel, welded in, then SMOOTHED with bondo/filler is the proper way to fill that.

 

[LinuxRacr]

Yup, that's how he does it.

sell your old antenna

 

[glyph]

ok, pdh, who or what is that in your avatar?

is the MP3 antenna like ours? it's in the same location. Does it slide in and out?

 

[LinuxRacr]

Yes, the MP3 antenna is like the ES's. You wanna know who that girl is? Go here: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=98769

(rofl) thanks linux.

 

[glyph]

wow, now I see. That's some funny s---!

The one in your avatar works!

i agree i like the wing. i wanna see the car after its done. i been thinking about removing the antenna. i just dunno if i will like it.

If I do want to listen to the radio, I will be shelling out about $140 for a window mounted antenna. As far as the hole, it will be sealed properly. As for my wing, it stays. I like my factory MP3 wing. Not too high, not too low. Just right for me. No IC pipes yet. (sad2)

[dominoy2k1]

(10) so far.... but need more (pics) !

Ok, GT Spec 4-Point Ladder Bar ordered from *************:

AWR 21.5mm Swaybar WITH endlinks obtained (thanks Moeed!):

I should be ordering the Tokico Illuminas (all 4) later today from..again http://www.*************.com :

I wanted to go with coilovers, but couldn't justify the cost right now, and I know that it will be too harsh for everyone else who rides in my car (family). After driving a friend's MP3 for 30 minutes who has just installed the same shocks, I was hooked.
I will try to get some updated pics of the body work later today.

 

[vindication]

linux, you should have contacted me for the illuminas. I could have told you a site that I ordered from. they were $475 shipped. now they are $475 but I'm not sure if shipping is included

Wow...PM me anyway.. No money has changed hands yet..

 

[glyph]

The illuminas are also on my mod list. PM sent.

[glyph]
