So last night I am removing the last of the bondo on the passenger side when my wife tells me she likes the car better with no paint just bare metal. What do I do?


Right Andy, so just paint an "Open for Lunch" sign on it to invite the tin worms in! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Seriously, the answer is that's it's worth more painted the original color, a bit less if color changed to OE silver for 75, & not much as a bare metal clear coated rebel 914. Women understand value, even if not the car hobby.

IMHO, it was just a hint to stop playing with your car so much & come inside honey! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

Not really concerned about value the paint wasn't original to begin with.

The build never died, to be honest the passing of my brother the privious year I thought that this would be the answer to drawing my attention away from it. It wasn't. Up until this past December I struggled with many things, my PTSD being at the top of the list and the realization of being the one to say yes to the doctors. That being said this little guy is my new battle buddy Fenway. He is here to make sure that I get back on track and follow through with this project. He is a PTSD service dog that has the worst breath in the world. Oh did I also mention my vanity tag ITSA914 is at stake?it expires next month, and I am allowed to reregister the car as long as it has been inspected and registered with in 12 months (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Just sent you a PM!

Plan B for your plate may be to xfer them to your DD temporarily - if NY allows that.

It just saves the plate while you finish up .... that's all!

But then you have that huge barn to knock around in, so you'll probably "git 'er dun" in time to not need to do so! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So today I am going to attempt to finish one wheel for the 5 lug conversion. I ran into a slight problem with one of the screws, but it's been soaking all night in PB Blaster. Now when I go out there hopefully it will have penetrated enough to back out the last screw. I am doing small tasks to really help get me motivated. After a trip to Tangerine Racing this past weekend, and gettting a well needed shot of motivation. There are some changes being made to the otgional plan, the power plant will be a Subaru 2.5l N/A engine with transmission. I am saving the 2.2 for the yellow bomber.

5 lug rims with tires. Rears are 245/40 R17. The fronts are 225/45R17 got these for a very reasonable price. They are custom so the look is exactly what I am looking for.

Heat it with a torch. Even propane will work. Get it nice and hot. Then as it cools, touch it with an old candle and let the wax seep in. Wax wont flame like penetrating oil but it works well.
