Wow looks great, thats alot of Rustbullet

hey thats not bad , get a hammer and dolly and smooth it out more, weld the holes up, hit it with 80 for bite and skim it with a good fiber body filler

Wow that looks great I like the color , Post some pic's when you get it out in the sunlight.

I would replace it with a donor section.

I agree with Bartman , with a 2 part system (color/clear) you dont sand any coats except the final clear, and there is a time limit you have to meet between coats. Color sanding is sort of deceptive , cause you really dont sand the color layers, like the old single stage paints of old.

You guys get your struts installed?

Deja , If your not going to lower your car and have 1.25 spacers and full length bump stops ar even trimmed a bit , I think you will be fine, my problem is I'm lowering , and have to keep my bump travel without hitting , at stock height you should hit the bumpstops before the tire hits the fender. of coarse this is just from my observations, It seems that things that work for some wont for others. note this all assumes that a 225/45/17 tire and 17X7 +40 offset wheel is used.

Here is the car withe the coilovers at midpoint , and with coilovers at at lowest setting, where I would like it to be. Here are the before and after measurements to the top of the wheel well (same measurement at all 4 locations) I had lowered the car before I saw your post , but at the lowered position the car is 7.5" to the flat on the bottom of the rocker in front of the rear wheel ( parallel to the ground not the spot weld flange) so it must have been 8.5" before. Here is the strut with the car lowered , the other side has the bumpstop installed and it is sitting on the bumpstop. I took the spring off the rear strut and jacked the wheel up, this is with a 1.5" adapter. I took the rear brake rotor off (it it .25" thick so it would be the same as a 1.25" adapter) and remounted the adapter and wheel and jacked it up again , still hits the lip , I think I will have to get the 1" adapters to have it fit correctly , the FSM has the wheel with a 15mm offset, close to the 1/2 inch extra I have. So where is a place to buy BZ3099 struts at a good price?

Just Got some tires (BFGoodrich G-Sport 225/45/17 ) These pictures are with the car at stock ride height acording to the FSM data. I lowered the coilovers to there lowest position and its much better ( camera batteries went dead , I'll get pictures tomarrow) , but there is only 1.75" of strut travel left and thats without bumpstops. so It looks like I will be sectioning the struts , and the wheels seem a bit to far out, so I will have to get 1.25" or maybe even 1" adapters.................More $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ boy these mistakes are starting to get expensive......

Here try this... The valve you are indicating is the fast idle control when you turn on the A/C.

You know I wondered why I got them so cheap....... I figure I can heat them up with a torch and bang them back round with a hammer. as for tires I'd like something that will somewhat wear well since this will be my summer daily driver and I drive 100 miles round trip to work. Ok thats good info 235/45/17 on 17x7's work........ more options... so maybe 225's (25" dia) on the front and 235's (25.3" dia) on the rear............your right too many options....
