fry Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 I've got a bumper cover, 5mph bumper, headlight panel, two fenders, hood, radiator support, rocker panels and headlights for it. It'll all be getting put together and painted after the 4th of July. I've also got a motor for it, and pi h/c/i for the motor. The motor's gonna take a bit longer though. I think when I've got the motor out, I'm gonna paint the engine bay black. I'm also gonna try and get an s281 spoiler for it before it goes to get painted. That's basically what its like right now...

Ferocious Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Poor you Liz! Glad you finally got the new wheels though. I'm sure once you have her put back together with new parts she'll look just as new, if not better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted June 24, 2012 Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 The wheels look awesome! Kind of wish you would have gone with the chrome but either way. They still look awesome. Sorry to hear with your recent accident... but at least when it's done it will be in a lot better shape! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fry Posted June 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2012 Thanks yall! I'm thinking it's gonna look way better when I'm done since it needed a paint job regardless and the cobra bumper will look a lot better, even though it wasn't my first choice lol.

fry Posted July 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2012 (edited) After I painted the rotors, before I painted the calipersRear, everything is dirty lolUsing the heat gun to speed things up lol. The caliper bolt on one side was stripped so I ended up buying an entire kit with new bolts, slides and pins. It took us way too long to do what little bit we did lol.Didn't have time to take pics at school after we painted the calipersSoooo much better.Doing the body work this Saturday!! I'm gonna have a half green car but whatever haha. Edited July 31, 2012 by fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sliced two of my fingers open so my car officially has been built with blood, sweat and tears... though I didn't cry lol. There were a few things I needed help with, like the hoods, so I'm going back today to finish. I had to leave my car there over night, it was so sad. haha anyway, just wanted to share the pics.
