Funny how expensive cars can slant appreciation of money. $25 can't buy one quality lug nut for these cars, but $25 can practically get me a quality steel wheel for my '87 4Runner haha

So ******* nice. Glad to see it almost there.

You gotta get some black HVAC/radio.

EDIT:

Didn't see you already talked about that. I'm planning on painting mine too opposed to swapping. I feel like you can't tape up the HVAC logos. If you did it would either take about a weeks time or look like **** in most cases. I'm gonna shop some on the computer and trace them onto vinyl then cut them out. Just like graphics on a car.



Is it your cam or does the drivers side need to be blocked and wheeled a bit? Looks like everyplace else is mirror like but that.

The whole car can use a buff but the driver side more then the rest ur right. As I was clearing I ran out of material on the last pass, went and mixed more, all i had left was the front bumper and driver fender, well when i started sprayign it I noticed the driver door started to flash and was getting overspray on it. I just took too long to get around the car since I wound up getting some clamps and clamping the airhose around the booth so it didnt come up and hit my clear. I was using standard hardner instead of slow cause thats what the paint store gave me and i didnt think much of it, but its not a big deal cause its gonna get recleared in a month or two and i may give it a buff in those spots in the meantime. Since its orange and not black, its not so bad, but one of the things i wanna do before i get professional shots

HOLY **** I had a terrible day. Rained like a mother here last night, car is parked outside, go to get in it this morning and i turn the key and nothing happens. Nothing, lights go on, interior chimes are working fine, key turns and nothign even clicks on. Battery isnt dead, idk wtf it is. So i get out, take my mothers mustang to class, finish up a painting and refinishing final, come home, hope if there was water anywhere it dried out by now since its like 80* and sunny out today, try to start the car, nothing. It was just running last night! Check fuses and whatnot, everything looks perfect. DIsconnect battery, connect it again, disconnect ECU, connect it again. Switch ECU's. Nothing. Getting "Power Steering Failure, EBS OFF, Check ABS" flashing across my DIC.

Well i call roadside assistance and setup a service appointment. Install stock intake, remove my block off plate, take off charge pipes and BOV, connect the stock charge piping uptop, get the jack to connect it on the bottom, as im jacking up the car in the front on the engine cradle next to the motor mounts the jack SLIDES off the frame and crashes against my radiator. i quickly lower it and watch the fluid flow down onto the ground. ****!! I was so mad cursing outside throwing a fit. Get the stock piping on, call dealer to tell them i need a new radiator now, of course there on lunch and will call me back. Tow truck on the way, i get it all connected, then decide to remove my headlights and brackets and HID's so the dealer guys dont scratch the paint trying to remove all that when they remove the bumper to take radiator off. Well remove all that ****, tighten down the ground wire under the driver bracket, and decide ****, lets see if it starts now. It cranks right up. So im happy now, but then i see the coolant on the driveway and get sad again. So i cancel roadside assistance, call around to find a radiator. Still didnt find one yet but Autozone can get me one friday for 307. Dealer 379. Austins Tire is shopping around to see what they can find me. But now i have to replace my damn radiator. And buy a better jack since that **** is not happening again.

any1 wanna see pics?









I think the AC condensor is alright, i wont know untill i get the radiator, put it on, crank the car up and see if the AC blows cold. Its bent a bit but nowhere near as bad as the radiator.

And heres the culprit
