bsneon98 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Time to start prepping for body work! Interior really didnt need to come out but theres not much work into tearing down an entire car this size lmao, one down side I guess. Makes it easy to rip everything out and start over. Amps out Batteries out, my kinetic has finally died. Resting voltage less than 11V What a mess! Lol, This might be getting replaced with all sky high wire. Tired of reusing wire from systems years ago. Left with just speaker wires Whole interior (minus dash and headliner) is removed! (Again lol) Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsneon98 Posted December 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Picked up this little guy on ebay for $30 Little dirty but thats ok, ill take care of that in time. Not sure why these came out so blurry, but the internal strap fuse was blown (well missing technically), someone else was in there and jumpered it to fix itThe jumper got warm and came unsoldered so it was quite a simple fix. Not the prettiest or my most proud work, but it serves its purpose and keeps the innards fused Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsneon98 Posted January 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 Time for the fun to start! A little comparison of how badly faded after almost 20 years. Time to make her all ugly It kinda hurt doing this, but I know its for the better. Plus since day 1 I knew this car was going to need paint, well now the time is here Those 2 tools are what I used to get what you see. Thats just a once over. With 80 grit. Clear took a lot of color with it thankfully Now time to get to where it looks half way better. There is ALOT of red still lol That was where I ended my weekend. I only have a few hours a couple days a week to do this plus the weekend so It should be fun lol.Did this little bit just tonight 1 Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsneon98 Posted January 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2016 Made some decent progress this weekend. All the pillars are at the same stage as the body, just dont have good pictures of those done yet. Those roof rails channels will be getting filled in and shaved, never plan on having a bike rack of any of that shit. Thats all until this week. I have to run to harbor freight to get more supplies to clean up the side molding areas, orbital is just too big.

bsneon98 Posted February 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2016 Had to clean out dry urethane out of these roof rails before I could do anymore work on the roof.This shit sucked, never want to do it again lol Then I primed them in to cover up the bare metal spots Along with the side molding areas, also a very difficult area to prep Now to start the actual body shaving part, Filled both channels with duraglass. (only have picture of one side, i was in one of those get shit done moods) Cleaned up the excess on the edges and spread some rage Roof is probably going to need a whole skim coat just for safe measures, and so this blends in better. Just had to get started on these areas. This is all the progress for now, had a lot of other life stuff to take care of. Shortly will be starting on the metal work!
