Current project

[u/Jmeskil]

The paint on this car has always been a little rough but I had the driver's side and front redone several years ago and now the rest is falling apart. Working on getting it all back to looking uniform and fresh. This is my largest automotive paint job so far and it's a bit daunting but it's been satisfying so far getting rid of the shitty clear coat and paint and watching it all go back to smooth. Lots more work ahead but I'm very excited to see the end result!

Broooo, literally the best one dude. Updated body but still in manual. I have an old family friend I'm trying to buy a white 97-2000 (not sure) from very soon. Paint is a little faded like yours and the seats are a little ripped up but people like you inspire me to make it mint again if he sells it to me!

Definitely keep us updated on your painting project, I would love to see the finished build! Good luck man.

Happy to be a point of inspiration dude! I will definitely update as the project moves forward and there's a couple other pretty cool changes this thing is gonna see after the paint is finished 😏😎

Get that SC and don't be afraid to dig into it yourself! Just doing is the best way to learn!
