Your whole car looks good, I'm into it. Paint is nice on the car and the wheels. The only thing I can't dig on it though is the painted drum brakes in the back. I can tolerate painted stock front calipers, but bright red drums in the rear?

goof off/green scotch bright/more goof off/paint prep alcohol stuff (same stuff i used when I was tack clothing my car)[quote

H&R OE sports and KYB GR-2's The ultimate low dollar suspension... I got the springs used for 20 bucks :-* Also I have a ST sway bar, and a egay rear strut tower bar. I'm gonna make a upper front when I have some time. $80 dollar welder to the rescue!

Did I buy it from you? I remember I bought most of my ---- from ppl on this board. Long time classifieds supporter ;D.

Sorry no... for some reason it was raining all the time when I had the rims on.. and my other night pics ended up way too dark. I'll get some soon enough. Oh and its dropped... just not a lot.. I live in pot-hole-ville USA

I used the cheapest HVLP gun I could find. I bought it from Pepboys. Ha. The paint was off the shelf ---- you find @ Murrays Discount Auto. 35 bucks for a gallon of black. My car is a moving Duplicolor commercial.

Better than rusty... "gonna get tentanus when you look at it" colored. I suppose I could do black or something... *shrug*

Maybe a newb here... but I've had my car for a few years now... and been lurking for jsut as long. I had a whole shitload of posts on CRXResource, HT, dseries etc etc. But I will take that award anyway. O0. Later. Time for class.

you got gas hooked up to that welder, or just running flux-core? i have the mig120 but havent gotten the gas tank and regulator yet.

Re: Long time lurker... saying whats up.. *56k death*
 

i just rubbed mine down with alcohol a few times before i painted them, they havent chipped yet. but i did use engine paint, maybe it adheres better?

oh yeah car looks great!

paint job is pimp

Re: Long time lurker... saying whats up.. *56k death*
 

yeah, it welds like poo! :P we need gas!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Long time lurker... saying whats up.. *56k death*
 

Your car ------- OWNZ, The only think I think is you'd be better off with ABS charge piping. other than that everything is sick

Re: Long time lurker... saying whats up.. *56k death*
 

It is a fluxcore only welder. It was 80 bucks.. i mean really.. who cares. Those welds are pretty bad I know.. I got the setting down now and I can almost lay a consistent bead down. There is of course splatter and flux everywhere... but its easily cleaned. I'll take a pic or two next time I have the downpipe off.

I've been planning on getting some mandrel bent stuff... easier to just weld as much of it together and use a few couplers as possible. Where are you getting the ABS pipes from?
