Had to JB Weld a Wheel stud in becuase the teeth were worn down....

When the engine was ready to pull we started pulling out all the interior

Then it was on to removing the Sound dending material. This fucking sucks lol takes fing forever dry ice works well exvcept the curved surfaces.

Cleaned it up alittle

Tac Welded Seems in the engine bay so far and started to paint

More pictures to follow painting second coat on engine bay, and primering the inside interior tomorrow, as well as stich welding the seams. Tell me what you think I have spent way to much time in this car, should I stay black exterior or white im doing baby blue as engine bay and interior..

Veetak · 12-24-2008, 12:42 AM

Umm what you do with the other 59 hours when you where done with the car?

ohh, and
DONT PRIME THAT CAR!!!

zerke · 12-24-2008, 12:59 AM

that wing gives him a very necessary down force as his car is a potentially powerful RWD beast. Amateurs.

Bigsyke · 12-24-2008, 01:16 AM

WTF! you painted the engine mounts?

JBweld? It has the tensile strength of a granolla bar

i've done the exact same thing he did as a quick fix. one of the holes the wheel stud seats in is all ground down and useless.

nismoskyz · 12-24-2008, 01:47 AM

actually, I've used JBWeld for the exact same reason on one of my wheel studs and I'm pleased(and grateful) to say it has been holding up quite well.

Edit: busteds13 beat me to it. same here...

BustedS13 · 12-24-2008, 02:05 AM

yeah, i never got around to properly fixing it either. i don't think it much matters once everything is torqued down anyway. and what, worst case scenario i snap a wheel stud? that'd make like a dozen in my book.

Pho Man · 12-24-2008, 06:34 AM

Sorry to say man but you painted over the brake lines and the Windshield wiper motor too. If you went this far you should have just stripped everything out and put the car on the turkey roaster and do the underside as well.

xs240 · 12-24-2008, 06:59 AM

make better videos

DoriMonster · 12-24-2008, 07:06 AM

haha ya Im going to get new lines steel braided so ididnt care, and im switching monts t for sr, and I like my wing lol.... MY WING IS ASWOME HAHAHAHAHA.... TRUE JAPANESE STYLE MAKE IT AS OBTRUSIVE AS POSSSIBLE HAHAHA...
Pepboys wiring has been gone for a while lol....
Give me a break sheesh just an amature here doing the best he can haha....
and I should weld the stud, but jbweld should be fine for a while..

**ThatGuy** · 12-24-2008, 11:01 AM

This is not a build thread.

Post a thread explaining everything you did, when the car is near completion. Not when you are just tearing things apart. There is a difference between being an "amatuer" and doing things half-assed.
