- Thread starter young_
- Start date
this is definately going to be a build i stay undated with.. GLWB!!
Thanks for the inspiration man! money's been tight but I'm gonna be buying the header soon. I'll have plenty of pics of install. If you look at my other posts I'm all the time posting other problems/ situations I run into that I forget to mention here.
I totally expect an invite. lol
Car looks clean as hell man. needs a drop though lol. GLWB
Only thing keeping me from dropping it is my girlfriend's driveway is too steep, and her road is like a one way. So I can't park on the street or get into her driveway if I did that. Wish I could though
it just takes time bro im tight on my money as well so my build is going alot slower than id like it to lol but good luck man ill be watchin to see how its coming along
I think its time to find a new chic... can't let them get in the way of your car lol jk man
that sux though about the driveway lolWell, almost hit a deer going to my girlfriends house. (like an idiot) I swerved and hit the brakes. Brakes locked up. and then my tire came off the rim. I then slid into some bushes. :/ Felt like a complete and total dumbass, but whatever. Here's the damage. Would have been a lot worse if I had hit the deer though.
Edit: Hit post before I meant to. I didn't HIT anything, thankfully. There was no actual impact, it just scrubbed the hell outta some bushes
Got the tire back on the rim, it's holdin pressure, beat the dents out of the rim, got it re-balanced today. Now all that's left is to repaint the bumper.
I hate deer.

ahah I know you do. I think they hate you more though
Painted the valve cover yesterday. Came out really good. Money's been kinda tight so I thought I'd do something cheap to keep things going with the car.
Cleaned the valve cover
Painted it with Krylon Banner red primer/paint mix.
Couldn't use the oven so I used heat lamps. Seems to have worked well.
5 coats of clear later, before sanding.
Sanding the letters (be very careful with this)
This is the last picture I took but I finished the sanding. My dad was helping me sand the letters and accidentally dragged the sandpaper across the VC but it's all good. Easy touch up.
I also cleaned my engine bay if you can't tell.
Anyways, all is good in life. Got another interview at autozone tomorrow at noon. Hope everything goes well. Got a new Xbox 360 today, been using my girlfriends. Got MW3 at the midnight release monday night. Got Fable 3 and halo reach as well.
Tell me what you think of the valve cover, first one I've done. Thanks
