bcbrassard Posted January 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 Prepping car for paint. I had to leave the engine bay Rio Red so i left part of the under side hood red to help blend the two colors. Door jam's done and trying to get rest in shape. But i always have a shit ton of projects going on so again slow going i will be. Keep in mind this is pretty much a POS so i am not going to make it perfect. Just better. Cutting thru the clear coat with 180 grit by had. There a fair amount of dings i will had to repair but at least the worse damage is under the mirror, i out lined it with a sharpee.

bsneon98 Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 YESSSS. Cant wait to see your results man! That clear coat is some gnarly stuff when sanded. Please be sure to use a respirator! (I know your not an idiot lol) You doing it all yourself? What products / Methods? Get some of those 3m red scouring pads if you havent already. They are a huge help with scuffing up the body work. Tuned in even more now lol! Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcbrassard Posted February 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2017 Getting some work done on the Lancer. I have driver side blocked down with 180 grit and dings are ground down to bare metal for filling. I hope to have this side done by the end of the week. I received my DNA lowering springs this week. I bought a coil compressor and waiting for my new struts & shocks to show up. The plan it to paint the car and then replace front trans axles(have 2 new ones). While i have the axles out seems like a perfect time to replace struts with lowering springs. Would love to replace every bushing up front but being on a budget that will have to come later. Going to paint the car on jack stands and will have new tires mounted while they are off. Getting excited about getting this done, unfortunately i am behind the schedule i had in mind but will manage to pull it off quickly. Wife & i are going to Vegas for our anniversary so next week nothing will be getting done. Cars not worth much, system is but car isn't and the wife hates me spending $ on it. Lowering coils: $65 Struts & shocks: $99 Tran Axles: $89 Tires: $210 Shipping: $300 I would post pics but photobucket is full and not sure i want to pay to have more room. Deleting is slow and a nightmare. Need a better alternative for posting but not sure what that is. Post pics when i figure it out. Any suggestions?
