And now the image reflection is getting better
after this.. right side is DONE!
Now lets move to the Kicked panel #2 lol
Body work extended a lot on this quarter panel so line was out.. i had to make it again with bondo
Redrawing side line
i Painted gas tank semi-gloss Black because i like to hide it from eye view
i hate when car lines are good but u see a silver gas tank there
Now is better
Sanding sideskirts with scotch pad so i can paint over it
The left fender i got from Facebook was Aftermarket...so fitment sucks really bad
so i had 1 OEM crashed at nose fender and 1 good aftermarket one that doesn't align at all.
The only solution i found was mixing both
Cut both and use the Aftermarket nose welded with the OEM rear part
because OEM fit perfect at door line!
so this is what it happened...
Because i didnt had (now i do) a Welder, i had to ask somebody (and paid) to do that
work wasn't good at all so i had to cut and make if fit
Then.. hide the welding marks with bondo and make all smoth
Bumper had A LOT of imperfections and holes to cover
changing the frame from old to new
Ok.. back to the Aftermarket Fender
Because Aftermarket is shit sometimes.. and this was not exception
for some reason nose was SHORT so i had to make the bumper longer with bondo to fit
Painting trim parts
Puting all together and masking.. .YES, is going to be complete painted
