Andrew, your car is really shaping up. I can't believe the amount of hours you have poured into your car in the recent months...it's really starting to show. Hopefully this cooler spell lasts a bit longer...perfect for painting. We all know, we're one day away from the valley going to "hot as...." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

And I got 3 hours in tonight.

Heres a pic from last night. Hood.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1305008048.1.jpg)

Focused on the bumper.
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1305008049.2.jpg)
You can barely see the black area that im cutting off. Cutting this off for 1: design and 2. airflow. Thats a serious amount of lift on the rear end at over 100mph... I have plans for an underbody tray, I might do it someday..
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1305008049.3.jpg)
The piece cut off.

Good old kitty hair. Works really well for these kind of things (I HATE working with fiberglass and resin...). Ground flat with bumper with grinder..

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1305008051.9.jpg)
A bit of trimming done. Still a little more to do. Ignore the exhaust tips, they will get straightened later.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i1210.photobucket.com-172-1305008051.10.jpg)
Filled pinholes and a couple of chips in the fiberglass. Sanded down (arg, I hate sanding..)

Thats all for tonight.. This stuff just takes to much time. Bumpers will not be sprayed with the body but I am OK with that. I can spray them any time.



Looking for 3 hours tomorrow... Tomorrow im going to start on sanding the body down to the 400 grit I need to paint over. Same on Wed. Thursday I start cleaning the garage for painting on Sunday as I dont have any time to work on anything on Friday and Saturday.

Ordered some tires for the rear. 285 35 18's. (Fronts have 1k miles on them, but are 5 years old, rears are goooooone)

Received the seals from 914rubber.com

Sanded down the drivers side last night as well. It hit me that I have to paint under the targa bar prior to painting the rest of the car.. Soooo Im going to try and enlist some help tonight to get the car sanded quick enough to paint under the targa bar tonight..

Ahhh, I havent spent this kind of money in a while... Glad I have some 914 parts to sell to fund it!

Its either now or after paint on the rest of the car and I figure I'd rather do it now than later as it can sit for 3 days drying then I can properly mask over the paint..

Oh and I found out that dollar tree has 10'x12' (Thin..) painters plastic tarps. They worked well painting the hood, I'll pick up 5 or so for these little spot jobs. Probably use 3 to cover the car for this...

Dad came over this afternoon and helped me get the rest of the car sanded. All set now to start prepping for paint tomorrow and to paint under the targa bar (And paint the front hood, I decided I will paint the front hood off the car as well so I can get to the fenders and the cowl area without worries).

I'll have some time on Friday morning as well so that might be when I paint those area's to keep the bugs away... But then again I might do it tomorrow night (Now that im thinking about it, probably not).

The Modesto heat should be cool for a few days too. Hoping for bug free spray! Looks great Andrew!

Great work on the painting, nice to see the fresh paint after you have done so many hours of sanding.
