Got a chance to post.

-Last Saturday I was excited to put on my front bumper.



Bye Bye Chuki Bumper... hello BN.







Excuse the front wheel fitment and the lack of a aftermarket rear bumper. I still need to make some custom lower fender brackets, since the stock ones are hella flimsy. The bumper is making my fender flare out a bit.

-So this past week we were testing out a new clear "Tran-star" a European clear.

Results:





Looks sweet and the customer was definitely happy too.

-Friday morning: So I was rearranging cars around and when it came to moving my co-worker's Low-rider down the drive way and next to the gate, I practically failed:

1) Didn't know how to use the hydraulics cause the car was tripoding on the driveway. So no traction since the wheel was just spinning in the air.

2) Car Died on me cause the battery was weak. Not only that, the car is hella long it took up half the street and driveway. So embarrassed since hella people had to drive around. Felt stupid.

3) Since its an old car, the way you open the hood is a little tricky and obviously I failed on opening the hood and being able to charge the battery. So it was stuck for a while.

But I got the car up by using the car pusher, shit is so heavy and it sucks being the only one at the shop in the mornings too.

The Low Low:



The Driveway:



I hate this driveway.

k sleep. Fishing tomorrow with the Pops and Uncle at 5AM.

Stoked!

I was finally able to get my bumper painted and my lower tail light panel. Can't wait to slap them on tomorrow morning before I head down to San Jose to see my lady.



Hope this shit last. My Co-workers were joking around saying that they give it a week that the bumper will last on my car. (shit knock on wood)

At Work!

It's 7:00AM.

chad bro chill

Been super busy lately looking for housing in san jose so i got stuck from doing work to the car...but i finally found a place only a block from school. im excited about that. so today i got some work done.

changed front wheel bearings

 dropped the transmission and pressed a new throwout bearing on

changed the rear main seal and pilot bearing..

the old rear main was leaking like crazy, the old pilot felt like grinding metal to metal when turned haha. the balls of wet newspaper are what i used to get the pilot bearing out. what could have taken 5 seconds if the local parts store had a smaller slide hammer pick took 1 hour using newspaper. fuckkkk

well ok a little bit of this work was from the past few days of this week (front bearings).. but most of it today. just have to put the transmission and driveshaft back up and everything will crusin cooooool

but. heres my special surprise. COPPED this shit yesterday in sf from a dude named martin, he knew gaylord and chris (BATTLESWING, old school corolla crew)

It's Alive

After a few more layers of short strands fiberglass filler... Still need more layers and add some finishing putty and shape it out more.



It's actually coming back from the dead. (The little rascal sure like to be in the pictures) haha It's my co-workers Mini Dovermen, her name is "Love".



So excited for paint and been looking around for some canards.

Beat !

I haven't been posting for awhile. Been really tired/ stressed/ busy from work.

Other then working with clients, prepping and masking up cars for paint, and detailing cars, I been working on my bumpers on the side:

My OEM JDM Kouki Bumper. Took a hell of "TLC" to fix.

Got it for cheap, but beat.



Plastic welded that "Bitch!"





Then Plastic Filler and DAed the shit out of it till smooth. Also filled-in where the emblem would go. Kouki emblemless is a Yes!



Then Primer. BANG!




Then worked on the Version Select bumper today here and there.

So what do you do to a bumper you get for $10 when your a broke ass drifter? ...

Strip it down and grinded away the blue duck tape residue away



Fiberglass it! Sucks ass and itchy as fuck.





Apply fiberglass filler and DA it some more. (still need to do more rounds of filler and shape it)



At the end of the day. I should be done by Friday.



So Durable now...Sweet!



Can't wait to primer and paint!

That's a Wrap. Got to wake up at 6:45AM for work! ah...

Funny

This miata belongs to a friend of mine. I won't say who, but I thought this was pretty funny.

It's sitting there to keep the headlight up...lol
