What have you done to your P5 today?

[bazooka joe]

okay, fixed rattle from my AF ratio guage connection (it got moved becasue the new mid pipe had the bung farther down the pipe???)...installed my new battery terminal connectors (good deal on these $13 ea.), cleaned the engines bay some more, polish a few "bling" items...

A clean engine bay is liked by all. A dirty engine bay is one of my pet peeves.

Your's looks good.

I washed her, clar barred her, applied sealant to her, and waxed her.

I took some pictures outside but it was already starting to get dark so they didn't come out very well.

I think I might have some good pics on my phone I'll sync them to my computer and see.

 

[Kansei]

pardon the quality, cameraphone pics. you have been warned.

Thanks.

Sucks about the hail damage. how bad was it?

I don't think I've ever experienced hail larger than a pencil eraser. I feel lucky.

 

[dave45090]

68 dings that I could count.
Final estimate.....$1800 damage for my car. My wifes Expediton just got fixed and it looks great. I am amazed how well it turned out. You cant tell it ever happened. I was convinced my car would not be the same but looks like all is well.



BTW, we had hail in excess of 3.5" dia.(omg)

 

[rednecks_r_us]

I know all about hail damage. Mine is getting fixed right now.

Do you know how exactly they remove the dents? Do they just somehow pop them all out?

In other news, my car is sitting in the garage jacked up with the front wheels off because I thought it wouldn't me much of an issue to get what remained of my original endlinks off. Ha, I was wrong. I got the air chisel all set up, but then I realized it was almost 1am and I don't think the other people living in the building would appreciate the noise

I guess I could dremel them off, I dunno. I almost want to give up and just get a new front sway bar but I don't think I really want one much stiffer than stock, I kinda like how it was with stock front and MSP rear.

I saw your post. Hail storm at redneck's house = new paint scheme. Nice. Can't wait to see the results.

I was lucky that my hail damage wasn't all that deep. We were able to block sand my roof and the tops of my doors down to almost metal. Then with primer and paint they will be gone.


Since I don't have photo shop this was done in "paint" similar to what my car will look like.

 

[Kansei]

Awesome. I had seen your thread about the hail damage and sanding and stuff, but I didn't know exactly how you were getting it repainted. That shoul look really cool.

 

[rednecks_r_us]

Well I wanted something to tie in my black rims. So they didn't look so much like winter steelies

 

[anarchistchiken]

Bill you damn ricer. You live in Arizona and you're willingly putting black paint on your car?

Just kidding about the ricer part, I think it'lll look good, but you're still out of your damn mind.

 

[JOMO]

Hahaha....LOL Its a custom mixed black paint. It's a deep, dark black with blue mica in it. Also there will be blue pearl ghost flames in the black as well.

There are plenty of all black cars in Arizona. Besides I live in the mountains above 5000 feet. Remember i get snow. So the black in relation to the stereotype arizona heat won't really bother me. My only concern is dust and keeping it clean.

My painter was going to work on my car this weekend so hopefully it will be painted by Monday. Then let it cure so it can be wet sanded, cut and polished. I need it by next Saturday for an AZMC mountain run.
