Handy trick for anyone painting parts and needing space for drying. Use an apartment green house,very handy and reduces over spray

A few pics from her last show. The car cleans up well but was far from what I'd consider a show car. My plan is to make it a show car that will be used in anger.

A pic of my factory carbon type r double din for jealousy points

Love a good rebuild thread! Gives me motivation to fully strip my EK down to the shell in the next year.

Thanks man,its a lot of work. I wanted to start it during covid but I had to build a pro spec drift car and my own car in 6 weeks then. Regret not getting more parts then as alot is getting so hard to find.

If you even do a corner of the underbody at a time it'll make the difference and takes the pressure off

Got a bit more done on Friday, have the boot floor in epoxy and the left side is all in sealer. Rear panel is now in its first coat of high zinc epoxy primer.
Back to work next week so probably only going to gat a day each week at it now. Important part is that its started

Everything was brought back to bare metal,some areas had factory sealer covered in multiple layers of black shutz which did preserve the metal but looked like dung and was a nightmare to remove. I'm using an m18 milwaukee grinder with the 8amp battery and a knotted cup brush,when it hits the black stuff its like hitting the brakes. I sprayed some petrol on and it did soften it but I found a low flow butane torch made the biggest difference to soften it.

When it was back to metal I used bardahl convert,ox on any surface rust areas but also any metal incase of microscopic rust pores i can't see. I then put on a dust coating of pro xl epoxy 1k and 2 thick coats before seal sealer. After this I will put on a thick coat of high zinc epoxy before 2 coats of white stone guard and then QD enamel paint in champ white. Im doing this once and want it to last
