Pics of my car, Its finally done. 56k go take a nap.
 
Well I went out for a little photo shoot with 2 friends of mine, here is what we came up with.
As some of you HMT ontario guys know, my car used to be a Bondo bucket and look at it now!!!
Give me get your feedback about the pics and my car, Enjoy.

Here is the car before it got a severe welding and bondo makeover, just to refresh your memory.

Hope you liked them.

I still have to do some finishing touches on the car like put the moldings on, buff it when the paint has been on for at least a week and a half, take the glue from the shitty 3M tape off the rubber trim, wash the windows and tint them with 20%, and put my front lip back on.

and last but not least, Engine swap and turbo coming soon.

I do not like those wheels in bronze. Not sure why, just don't like em.

Rest of the car looks good though.

Very nice. The bronze is cool. I always wondered what ONE racing seat would look like. Now I know. I like your friends coupe it looks clean, and the hatch because white EG hatches own. Nice job man. You guys have some very clean EGs to sport.

Sweet, thanks guys, yeah prep work was ok for my very first time doing bodywork, the 1/4 pannels could have used some more work but its not too noticable...I made my own 1/4 pannels BTW because at the time when I cut the old ones out I had no job and couldnt afford them. so I guess its not too bad for a guy who made his own out of autobody sheet metal.

In 2 years time if I still have the car I will order some from the dealer and redo everything along with scraping all the rockguard off the bottom of the car and redoing rust spots if I have to, the soon to be mods are going to be Energy suspension bushings, Omni fully adjustable coil overs and front big brake conversion of some sort.

really nice and clean, i dont like that color of wheels usually, but it looks good with that color. Are you going to get another racing seat, IMO one looks cheesy?

looks tight martin!!! the bronze and black looks good together, i think a red lip would look great on those rims for some reason?

Well I thought it wouldnt look all that good when they were silver and the car was black, then I thought Dark Gold would make them look much nicer.
I was still able to pull it off...Its not a matter of what the wheel looks like, but the color you chose fot that wheel to be.

Update: The roof got fucked up today, the paint on the roof got wrinkles, Now I have to fix the roof, the rest of the car is fine. I think its from sunlight.

Ah, 2 seats are for ricers, only one is nessecary, driver has zero hand to hold on with and zero feet to brace with. Passenger just sits there!! unless your racing with a navigator.

As for the wheels, I don't mind them. Car looks good, I didn't see this post before you swap post so this might be a little late.

Its never too late, lol, glad you like the car, hopefully I can get that ------- B18 in there, turns out that the rear mount wont fit properly, I thought it would, maybe that was just for EF chassis that you can reuse all the mounts.

Oh well, I hope I can get a rear tranny mount this week.

As for the wheels, I plan to keep them on here, its something different, you dont need aftermarket wheels to look good, just a good choice of stock ones and the right color.
