well i bought this car, thinking it was the best for me. Turns out, came with a lot of problems..
Bondo, i hate it, it hides the bad stuff, which is good for the looks of the car, but common. an inch of it is ridiculous... So when i saw the car online, i needed to have it, when i saw it in person i tought i needed to have it.. When I got home, rude awakening... So many things i have going, keeps my RA24 project to the side... lol some carnage pics...   so much bondo removed, revealed rust... grinder and few regrets later...     after a few videos, and trial and error...   all done by hand with basic tools, lol.  Did not take pics of the bending process. but hey not bad for a begginer. Of course bondo will be used, but not to the 1 inch thickness... -------------------- Learned a lot in 10 years... I hardly log in anymore, last login Today Sept 6 2019, and I was forced just to clarify a post. LOL
If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
