I picked this car up wednsday and have been driving it the past few days. it is awesome to drive. it has such a good power-weight ratio but you have to not drive like a douche, or you will end up around a tree. anyhow, like i mentioned in my other thread, this car will be parked within the next few days for the winter. over that time it will receive a whole lot of body work over the next 5 months, and will be painted around May. Its going to be a long journey, but it will be worth it. here are some pics the dealer took...im going to take better ones today

The first thing i wanted to do is done. that was remove the wing. My God it looks so much better . Next is remove the rear bumper cover, and the front bumper. I will then do all the body work on the front bumper including all the fiberglassing needed to be done. Its pretty rough:crap: but should give me enoguh experience to atleast want to attemp the rest of the body

After that, the screw holes front the old spoilers will be filled properly as whoever did it before didnt do it properly and what looks to be bondo is coming through the paint...

Stay tuned for more pics...//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

 
What build?
body work not considered building? reconstructng a bumper? building the body back to normal? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

 
Thank lucifer you removed the wing. Wings belong on airplanes and birds. Just a //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif for you ricers.

indeed. however, so wings do actually provide downforce....so if i was going to drift this car at 100+km/h it acutally does help make swinging the ass end out. but since im not, it had to go. btw, you use the term "ricer" quite loosely. you sound like the arrogant redneck who made a comment about my car the other night.

i dont normally like wings but that one makes it look like a drift car which i like
eh, it looks much cleaner without it.

heres a crappy pic i photoshoped in like 2 min. before i did it was too dark to see the car. i will get some better pictures with out other camera...

basically, i removed the whole body kit. i will be doing the work on those 3 peices first. i may just do the rear part too...or i may modify it to look better. who knows...im not worried about that right now.
