Aaron: while you have the whiper assembly out grease the piviots and shafts with white litho. You don't ever want to take it out again.

Finally some updates.....

So this weekend, I was actually able to work on the car, Mid-terms in school and stuff at work have been holding me back, but I was finally able to put in a few un-interrupted hours.

Took the 911 suspension I got and was able to scrape to previous cars crap off the top, and get them ready to throw in a parts washer. More importantly, got one of the sets of headlights that my dad has lying around (I think there's enough for 4 cars, lol) and stripped and fixed those up really nice. Pictures to follow in 2 minutes.

I ended up having to drill out the heads of the screws because they where just simply TOO rusted to do anything with.....

So I realized after last week, that my post was rather boring, this week, I decided to throw in some metal, sparks, and fire! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

This week, I got to fix the trunk, which I, erm, messed up previously. To match the left side, I also welded the right.

Some before pictures....

Tomorrow, I'll be grinding them down and such, as to make them match. For now, it's Saturday, and we're heading to Downtown San Diego!

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) would'nt have any idea what you are talking about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So today, I went back to the trunk and smoothed out all the welds from yesterday and placed Alumi-lead on the seams. Also, used the cut out and traced a new piece for the battery tray.

Tomorrow, I'll be sanding down that Alumi-lead and getting it ready for Bond-o, then I move onto the engine bay, which is pretty well off, all it needs is preping and possibly this weekend I can spray the trunk, undercoating, and engine bay. I think it´s safe to say (except for the tray) the welding is done.

I actually like the battery tray idea. Having it open like that doesn't reduce the strength and you can keep the area below it clean and painted.

I too agree. Meh, I'm not sure, I'll either leave it open as such or close it up. If I do leave it open, I'll be trimming it to right where it meets the suppot around the three sides, which is only about another 1/2 an inch.

Like I said, if anything, it's part of my "weight reduction"! lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif)

Of that ignition switch you guys where speaking of, where you refering top the picture witht the dashboard already mounted? Or the one that is just newly painted? I ask because these are two different supports, one being originally from the car, and the other being from a Six.

Yesterday, I did'nt get to do much, as I got to the shop around 4:30, and it gets darker alot earlier now. I did, however, sand and clean up underneath the flares.

Originally, when we installed the flares, this area did'nt look to hot, with all the ground-down welds and such, so I once again wen to the Alumi-lead, applied it, and cleaned it up yesterday, to make it look more "seamless"....

Ok, so today, Thanksgiving, actually got to work for a few hours.

Finished completely taking the Powder Coating/dirt/old paint from the suspension (correction from before, the new suspension is from a Six, not a 911). Took of the rotors, and the bearings inside, turned out they where bent out of shape. Sandblasted that plate that mounts behind the rotors, and everything is ready to paint on Saturday or Sunday.

Pictures to come, for now, more Turkey!

Some pictures of the Six suspension. Scraped all the old Powder Coating off, will paint soon. Also took those shrowds, sandblasted them and such.

What do you think for the struts, green or black...... or red?

Did'nt get much done this weekend, as I had to work, however, coming up, I'll be prepping the Engine area, as well as doing Rubberized undercoating in the trunk.

What do you guys think for the Engine Bay? I'm thinking in the way of undercoating in Black.

Keep after it!

I too loose motivation when it is dark when I get up, sunrise as I go to work, and dark when I get home. And I just HATE cold. At least I have a garage, but it isn't heated. By the time I work out a little, eat some grub and have a beer, it is too late to get motivated...

oh well. At least I have a job.
