Well yesterday was a pain in my ass. I got up fairly early to get to work on my car and things did NOT go as smooth as I had planned...

I got to work first on getting my new Intrax springs on, went to Oreilly's Auto and got a spring compressor (the wrong one) so it did me no good. But by this time I already have my wheels off and the strut so I'm not about to put it all back together and go get a different one.
My goodness how bolts can get rusted... The 2 main bolts holding the strut assembly were a PITA!!! But after a few hours of work, some Rust breaker downer ha ha and a breaker bar I finally got it going. So after what I thought would maybe take an hour or 2 to get all four done, 3 or 4 hours later I finally get done!

So next is get to work on my kit and my fenders. I have several cracks in my fenders that needed to be repaired and so first things first was prep work... Sanding... I hate sanding!!! So I got the areas I was going to fg all sanded and prepped. Once I finally get that done I get to work. I created the mixture get my disposible paint brush and a little aluminum foil cake pan thing to mix the resin and hardner in. Cut the pieces that I want to work with and start working.. The first fender went really well!! I created a lip on the front portion of the fender to drill into the bumper to keep the sides from flopping around (I'll get some pics tomorrow hopefully for you to better understand). Then I went to work on the other fender, and I guess I just didn't put in enough hardner, cuz it just wouldn't set up.. I let it sit for over an hour and it just wouldn't start to get hard.. A piece ended up falling off.. SO I just took it all off and I'll give that fender another go real soon.

Like I said, Sorry I don't have any pics to show you guys I'll try to get some up here tomorrow! I'm definitely riding low now!!! Looks sick!!!
