jack280 Posted May 28, 2014 Author Share Posted May 28, 2014 It took some time to smooth the body. At one point I lost my patience, so I spent some time on a L24 engine. Just a clean up and turbo swap. Fresh paint and matching a modified watercooled intercooler injection intake. I had some days of from work and now it had to happen. I bougt some Mount fuji blue 564, direct gloss black and 2 litres of spray filler. First layer on the sanded body is grey epoxy. After a couple of long days, you can see the result, and the sanding continues........ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But dang dose that thing look sweet, and not even completed all the way.Lol that's like me right now! I always make jokes to people in my household to be careful and not scratch the paint because the paint is coming off due to being in terrible condition. I agree, the thing looks slick dude! It's subtle, but it makes a huge difference. I know that doesn't make much sense but it's the best I can describe it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
