Ok so last week I had some updates and was going to upload them Friday night, but thats when the plague hit me and I was out of commission for the entire weekend. I have gotten more stuff done since then, so heres the status for those who give a flying fook! ;D
We shall first start off with the rear trunk interior panels which look like crap from the factory. Very dull grey and are almost like trying to keep white vinyl clean...lol
So I sanded, prepped and vinyl dyed it all satin black. Its all put back in now, but please disregard the crappy carpet, its in the process of being fabric dyed now, so it looks like shit in the pic....lol.
Heres a quick chop of a better finished trunk once the carpet is reinstalled.
Ok so after that crap was done, I then decided to pull out the carpet and fabric dye it as well. FYI, Car Brite Fabric Dye is the best stuff on the market, Ive used this on all carpets Ive fabric dyed. I did Jessicas old Si, from factory grey to dark blue and the color never faded or wore and it was done over 5 years ago.
After removal of the carpet I figured Id take a few pics to show the entire dry ice stipped floor.
I noticed that there were some plug areas that needed to be fixed so they were stipped and fixed.
I almost forgot to take pics of the carpet before so heres one, half way through my first coat of black.
The finished carpet reinstalled in the car.
After the carpet was reinstalled the rear interior was put back in and rear seats bolted in.
Ok, on to more important things. Both inner fender wells, have been completed. Stripped, seam sealed, then primed, scuffed and then undercoated.
Now onto tonights festivities.
Well since I need to go borrow my buddies primer gun tomorrow, I figured I could go ahead and put the subframe connectors and Adj. Traction Rods in.
So those are all done now, Ive got a long day of sanding and bitch work tomorrow to get the bay primed. Hopefully I can get it done though. Really want to get the engine bay painted and the motor reinstalled by next weekend.

One Step Closer.........
So yeah, today was the first time Ive realized that its actually a car again.
Primed inside, around, upside down and everywhere in between. It will need about 4-5 days to cure due to the cold weather, but I tried to get the garage as hot as I could tonight for a few hours to help speed the process up. Its already been guide coated, so all thats left to do, is a light sanding then its ready for base/clear....WooT!
Thanks to M3 Matt for letting me use his kickass SATA primer gun, and to Aaron(aaronsbig16g) for helping me out while I was priming.
