Painted my leggy DIY style!
Posted: Fri Mar 28, 2014 4:45 am
I had a previous experience with my first car, a 1981 toyota celica liftback with a 2T engine (slow but high reving fun little sewing machine lol).
This is the first time i actualy try it on a more significant car and actually caring about the final result. I got away from the city to do it since i have nowhere to do it near my home so i haven't seen the results in daylight, i left the car some 30 miles away and will return this weekend.
I had a bit of rust along the rear window edge and it was starting to get noisy. Plus i parked the car in the street and some $#^^$ did a hit and run on me... after that i was pretending to be a rally driver and tore the rear bumper off.
In other words, it needed some attention!
Full service the weekend before it got cliped on the side. Changed engine oil with new motul 6100 and original subaru oil filter, gear box and rear diff fluids with motyl gear and changed brake pads.
The friendly neighborhood #$% hole! i was really angry as you would imagine!
Rally attempt!
No more dents. down to bare metal.
Took the window out using a fishing line to cut the glue out
primed on sunday with new bumper included. I don't know about prices in the us nowadays but here that original and new plastec rear bumper cover cost me 380 dolars! there are hardly any used parts for my model and had no other choice. bummer...
Anyways. I promise i'll post more pics when i get the car put back together and even more when i finish detailing it.
PS: i left the driver's side mirror because there was a screw that was on way too tight and i had no luck unscrewing it, just wouldn't budge!
And by the way i wanted to ask your opinion: What do you guy's think about these wheels? thay are original pt cruiser rims but have some resemblance with the sti rims don't they?
