@charb1618 i honestly dont know. epoxy is what i originally suppose to use but i couldnt find it locally. plus the polyester is what i had lying around from fixing the bathtub haha. before i knew anything about fiber glassing. i couldnt find it on the tap plastic website (either or, i dont have much money to buy) thats how broke i am and im doing this with what i have to make somewhat off of it. if i can turn back, i would love to get my hands on epoxy resin.
old bottom
for the hell of the old one haha. over sprayed it black so i throw it on for the ef vs da meet
i switched my cut/weld linkage to my hasport linkage as i though the cut and weld was the cause me grinding gears. i must say it shifts and feels much better. it also has the es bushings on there..
first time checking out your site... you do excellent body work. i was very surprised (palm to face) when you actually took it to macco. all that time spent and well perfected, wasted at a macco paint job. OVERALL, love the car man. im a fan of white cars. wing is looking nice.
jpoopoo. i too did a palm to the face. it was raining at the time so i couldnt paint it myself. a few car show was coming up so i had get it painted some how. the paint itself was clean but it was the well known nasty masking they do that sucked that pissed me off. but i fixed most of it and the wagon's paint is fine with me.
at this moment im wanting to take all aftermarket parts off the car and sell the wagon in stock form with the b20vtec w/ac. im wanting an awd wagon at the moment and wanting to do a vitara 4wd turbo setup. after driving and owning a turbo car..n/a isnt cutting it for me anymore. just a thought. still need more time to think about it.
i want to get some spare bumpers and do the black panda look. DX style as everyone who comes and talk to me always asking me if it was AWD..mix feelings right now haha.
Photoshop that thing up panda style, but with the black across the whole side of the car, like from the trim down, so it all matches with the bumpers. I always wanted to do that to my old white hatch.....
we will have identical cars if you have black bumpers haha, always been a fan of the panda scheme though you should do it! still want a wing i'm anxiously waiting for you to say "for sale"
cody its actually your car that got me thinking ahahah. also the thought of having it as the true dx chassis style with the black bumpers. everyone keeps asking me if it is awd. the wing is giving me second thoughts. i think its toooo square-ish..i want to redesign it..
nosoul, i actually dont like the bottom of the moldings black. at all. its fresh paint too so i dont want to ruin it especially if the car goes up for sale.
I've seen your videos and posts on youtube. Must say, I didn't ever open this thread before and I don't know how I missed it.
Wagon is Dope for sure! Even for a Maaco job, it looks pretty good, and I've seen the body work you do before on other cars - always good work!
I want one of those spoilers too! lol.
I hear you on the Vitara AWD setup. I've got to get my EK done for drag season, but after its ready to race I think my wagon may have to get a Vitara setup and boost too - they're just too damn slow! lol
Anyways, props on the good work man. Love the wagon!

that's cool, i can understand not wanting to mess up fresh paint. I just wanted to see it photoshopped. For my own curiosity.
amazingly i found this thread. amazingly, there has been nothing new with the car besides sitting on ls meshes. everything from interior to exterior to engine bay is exactly the same. no new videos no new photos.
but! its 2013 and there are tricks up my sleeves. i just need to smog and register my car and wait til next week for the project to begin.
