WAGON JON Posted June 22, 2018 Report Share Posted June 22, 2018 Hey so uh, wherez da ress? Sweet build bruh! Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted July 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2018 More cleaning and assembly of parts, it aint gunna build itself 280 zx struts shortened to fit VW rabbit inserts, new T3 camber plates and bearing top hats with ebay coilover kit. 14mm ball joints and steering knuckles with T3 bump steer spacers I had some euro T/C rod bushings and NOS factory rubber, so went with euro drilled and rubber combo This next step was a hard one, I have a bad ass trunk spare tire delete, but figured i would keep it stock. One of the last cars i bought had a clean spare tire well. Blasting it inside and out getting it ready Then this fucking guy came over and helped with cleaning up the engine bay harness. Wagon Jon to the rescue 5 Quote Link to comment

the510keeper Posted August 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 WOW, Hard as fuck finding good help Back to the trunk welding, decided Sunday i was going to focus on nothing but this for few hours. Sand blasted and sealed the truck spare tire pan this way while handling it, it don't rust from hand prints. Yes if something is blasted and you touch it with bare fingers it will rust from the oils in your hands. Cleaned up the cut a got it set in to place with self tappers Got a nice tight fit On to the next step 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted September 4, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 And sealed ? Cleaned and installed the factory rubber, then seamseal the rubber and tail light panel seam 3 Quote Link to comment
the510keeper Posted September 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Primer time On to the inside of the hood and doors This hood is near perfect besides this rust WTF However instead of welding it up i decided to use panel bond, " said to be better then welding" Clear it real good and squeeze it in there. One door was blasted couple days ago the other blasted a year ago, hand print rust, my fav Metal prep to the rescue Sealed DP40LF epoxy primer sealer 2 Quote Link to comment
