Well I'm certainly down to party.

Well I recieved some very nice things in the mail the other day. I didn't like the way the 2 piece sir spoiler looked so I got the 94-95 1 piece wing. I think it will look better with the J's GT wing sitting on it than the original. I'm gonna have to do a little body work on the sir spoiler, but that is to be expected from a piece of metal that is shipped from Japan and is that old.
Good lookin stuff on the porch.
Box number one:
I'll soon be doing some body work to it and refinishing it.
And box number 2, which is about 7x the price of box number one:
Thanks to Agesone for the wing at such a great price.
I plan to go work on the car all this week and get it ready to paint in the next few couple of weeks.

the JDM 1pc looks pretty clean actually!
im not a fan of the GT wing, but def want to see how it will look on your EG. i think you may be the first and only person that will make that wing look good on the car. lol

You'd be surprised. I didn't really care for it until I saw one in person. They actually look very nice. Not something that you come across every day. But I don't think that everyone will like it. Hell I don't really care for the Bys wing for my car.
Well here's today's progress. I compared the 1 piece sir wing to the 2 piece one. I think a mixture of the 2 would be best really, but the 1 piece's top is win, while the bottom of the 2 piece is nice and slick which I'd prefer.
I broke down the 1 piece sir spoiler and scuffed and sprayed the bottom plastic with trim black.
Got the dents fixed in the 1 piece sir spoiler, which btw is all metal.
All nice and primed, ready to be guide coated, blocked and scuffed.
Tomorrow is another day.

Well I worked on my car for most of the day Sunday. It was just short of terrible. I was going to prime it Sunday night but decided to go watch "21 Jump Street" which is probably one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. It was totally worth not priming it yesterday. But here are som pics of what I did yesterday and today. I finished rolling the quarters and blocked both quarters while masking it for primer. Today I finished masking and primed them both.

Getting things done
And with the power of forums and no work, it all becomes done in just a few pictures.

Well I have been working on my car a little in the past few days. The main things I did was block the primer on the quarter panels. Those bad boys look great, like primer candy. Straight as an arrow. Those things suck to block, so many rolls and angle changes. But with several blocks and the "right stuff" they will be king s**t painted. I blocked on the spoiler for a few minutes today. I called about my J's rear tow hook, it's been about 9 weeks. The thing's on back order which sucks. I'm probably going to get another 1k worth of paint and such tomorrow. Maybe I can get it ready to paint this weekend. I'll post some pics when I get something, or something big done.
paint!!!!!!!!
Well not much progress on the car so far this week. I haven't worked on it at all, but I did buy the rest of the paint that I needed to spray the outside of the car. I had to get 3 more quarts of base and the rest of the stuff such as clear and sealer. Here's some progress, and what $1010 looks like. It's the second time I've bought the exact same setup for the car. Just needed more.
Savin a lot of money doin it yerself!
Wish i could paint better...
