What Am i getting myself Into!!!

Gonna start sanding it Down Tommorow.

I'm open to colors...Any blue you can suggest i'll take into consideration...Right now im thinking M3 Navy metallic...I forget the exact name...and keep the roof black.

Take all the Emblems and stickers off...the rear wiper antenna and rear window squirter...fix the fornt bumper mounts...secure the sideskirts better...and start prepping it...The body itself needs a good sanding down...minor filler on the front fenders and a littel on each door...and one little dent on the passenger pillar where the door and triangle window meet.

Def somethign I'm excited about...It looks funny with no motor...but i'll be taking pictures of the prgress as I go along.

This is how she sits now.

that poor girl, previous owner ought to be hung from his toes
I'm partial to Corvette Electron Blue

Whew, you have your work cut out for you. I look forward to seeing how it comes out.

95RedRS · Sep 16, 2005

Started today...Wet sanding the whole car is gonna be quite the process...but I'm anxious and willing. The main thing i'm not to happy about is having to leave the car outside after each day i work on it...exposed metal likes to rust quick...So eveything i do needs ot be primered after i'm done...And i'm investing in a car cover.

Few Pictures of my Work.

It Looks So Sad in the first one...Makes me Cry

wow, i hope your using air, i couldn't imagine doing that without it. good luck.

DontStare-atMe · Sep 16, 2005

The Chevy blue's I think are excellent in terms of blue color, either the corvette Electron Blue or the mainstream Arrival Blue.

95RedRS · Sep 16, 2005

thats all muscle baby!!!

Nah i don't have an air sander yet and i was anxious to start...but most of it will be done with Air.

It caught my Eye!!

At least the body panels seem to line up rather nicely. Hopefully there isn't much work needed in that department so you can focus on prepping for paint. Looking forward to the next update.

Darkeclipse · Sep 16, 2005

looks like a big project, good luck.

iowaboostin · Sep 16, 2005

To a random person that'd look like the biggest heap of metal

I can't wait to see how it comes out. I've been wanting to paint the top of my 98 Eclipse RS black (silver car).

95RedRS · Sep 16, 2005

Yeah A couple guys at the Shop are like...WTF is this heap. And A couple know exactly what it is...And there like..."it's got potential once it's done".

Thats when i smile and get back to work.

Can't wait to Post updates Soon!!!

I need a Car cover though.

DSMX1 · Sep 17, 2005

awesome i plan on doing that with my new Tsi, im interested in how it turns out, keep us updated!!

BlingBling · Sep 17, 2005

I just have one question...Why are you wet sanding? Just use some 180 on a long block. Oh, and if you got a DA, you could do the car 10x faster.
