Another day without a lot of progress that looks good on pictures. I did manage to get the passenger side camera made up. I used fiberglass on this side instead of bumper filler. It seems like either one of them works so it was no difference once they were finished.
I made up the rear view system for the drivers side. I cut the base off the stock mirror to use as the mounting surface to attach to the car. I then aimed the camera and got it positioned how I wanted and held it in place with duct tape. After that I used some [...]
Lot of little stuff today, I finished welding the exhaust up so the car is now nice and quiet. I then buffed out the paint and put a coat of wax on it. I didn’t have any turtle wax so I ended up putting some crappy black magic stuff on there that didn’t shine it [...]
The Inner fenders were a pain to get in without hurting the paint but they are both finally in. I bent them anywhere that they were getting close to the tire. There is plenty of room on the back end to clear even bigger tires. The front has one or two spots that rub but [...]
The stock inner fenders on the convertible are long gone but the old xfi had good inner fenders that only had rust on the bottom half so they were cut out yesterday and today I managed to get one side installed. The hard part was trying to get it to fit in there since the [...]
Here are some pictures of the car somewhere other than inside my garage. The grass needs cut and was a bit high so that kind of hides the fact the car is 12 inches off the ground
The car is pretty good right now except for one minor [...]
I spent most of today cleaning up the mess from painting the car and doing some little detail work so there wasn’t much good to see. I did get the bumpers and lights on though so it looks a lot better now. I didn’t bolt them on totally I just put them on for show. [...]
Car is now blue. It looks way better in person than it does in pictures
Tomorrow I will pull it out into the sun and let it dry real good. Then it is time to put the lights and junk back on.
The new top was pretty simple to install really once all the screws were found. There is a video on how to do it on teamswift.net that shows how to put a top on. It fits nice and snug but I left the side pieces off till I paint the car. The tires also came [...]
This weekend has been slow going, it has been over 90 every day and really high humidity. I got all the dents and bad places smoothed out on the body and the base white paint is on there good and dry now.
I loaded the car up on a trailer and hauled it in to get [...]
