Thread: The progress on Masami while I work on her at school.

Good.I would love to see some color on it now.

well bumpers are on, couldnt do anything about the hood gap with the driver fender. She's pretty fcucked up in the frame somewhere

As long as it looks good to you and or from 5 feet away LOL.

I don't like it but there isn't much I can do about it. I tried adjusting the good and there really isn't much sliding room in the bolt holes on the hinges unless I bore out the holes which I might do at a later date

I'll get pics of it with the bumpers on tomorrow during alignment class. Both are not completely anchored down yet but good enough to keep en on for now

You could drill out the bolt holes a bit to get some more room to slide and adjust it to make it look better. It's not a fifty thousand dollar vintage muscle car so I say go for it.

Yea that's the plan. Just at a later date. Probably gonna use a dremmel

Can't wait to see the finished product. You've put so much work into this car. I love to see you saving it and not just letting it go to the scrapyard like most people would.

Not finished yet. Just gave my buddy the rebuild kit and it should be drivable in about a month. For the time being until I can paint it I think I'm just going to plastidip the sides and rear panel so it doesn't rust too much more then when I have the 900 to repaint the whole thing base clear with glamour clear I'll do that. As it stands the last photos are the up to date photos.

Thanks bro that means a lot. I guess its been getting a lot of attention at my buddies house. People have been asking him if its his and complimenting him and **** and he's like yea dude totally just finished the body work on it, gonna finish painting it soon and I'm completely rebuilding the transmission, might turbo it, its gonna be cool **** when its done. They've all said "Nobody restores cars like this, its really cool to see." Lol I never thought id get attention for the car cuz everyone's always told me just ****in scrap it and buy a new car..... because I've invested five years of my life to this car so far and I figure I'm 2k into it and after the rest of the paint job I'll be at 2900. so I figure I'm already this far may as well finish it.

Well if I'm correct the transmission should be dropped and begun to be torn down. Will stop by tomorrow and grab a few shots. Going to look into buying a coilover kit for her and remove some wheel gap.

I was incorrect lol the car won't be started til friday or saturday when my buddy gets back into town. But tomorrow or tuesday I'm going to go put a bunch of the body moldings back on, put my driver taillight assembly back together, put the two bumper reinforcements on and put the rest of the bolts in for the front and rear bumpers so they're not just hanging by a single bolt lol. Then I just gotta tighten the mirrors down and put the door panels back in. I think the only other thing I need to do is put the inner fender lining on the passenger side

That is pretty sweet can't wait to see this done. IF buying coil overs is way too much making them is a pretty simple adventure.
