94 LS.. Bodywork/Progress Thread =]

[a1r12j0rdan]

Okay guys so this is the second thread i posted about my car but ima make this the "official one". My baby is a 94 Teggy LS with b18b1 stock motor nd trans. Traded a 96 blazer with 180k miles for this with 165k miles (5 speed).

I really have no plans for the motor at the moment besides me already repainting the valve covers and doing a few maintenance things. Change spark plugs, oil, filters, little stuff like that. Im just gonna be patient and wait for this motor to go. When i traded my blazer for this the guy traded me this car and a h22a motor out of a prelude. the motor has 45k miles and only needs a head gasket and its ready to go. Planning on doing a h2b swap as soon as this motor dies =] =] =].

Rolling on fat fives at the moment painted satin black. I wanna keep the wheels but upgrade the suspension eventually. maybe some coilovers and lowering springs but i really dont have the money to do it at the moment.

The good thing about having a painter stepdad and me being a painter/bodyman.. it cost me $321.34 for this paint job (minus the price of reducer/Primer). The bodywork pretty much took 4 hours a day everyday for 3 weeks to get it done, and a full day to get it painted. I shaved off the front and rear emblems and i am planning on shaving rear wiper/squirter in the near future .

TELL ME WHAT YOU GUYS THINK.. ANY CRITISISM/COMPLIMENTS ARE WELCOME. Thanks guys

Lots of pictures of the progress below. (hoping to update as much as i can)

[a1r12j0rdan]
