My car's back! YAY!

Alright lets go from where we left off. Thursday the oil pan was in but i didnt bother picking it up untill friday, which is when i got this :D



Then saturday i got to this

Gettin the car into position




Oil pan off!






This filter was a bitch to get off



Finally got it off tho



New one on :D



Puttin in the new oil



Somewhere in the middle i threw a coat of paint on the grille



Then the car sat on my driveway ready to go



Then on to today

Ended up sanding some of the paint off the grille cuz you could still see the 150 gritt scratches through the paint.



Random pics after i washed the car, and the battery was charging cuz i killed it like a week ago or something haha



Bumper and side skirts clean too



More paint on the grile



I was bored so i took the car out for a little photo shoot :D





Back home, i threw the sexy fenders on.




Everything on!




Then the grille needed more paint cuz i had to sand out a run in the paint, so i sprayed some matte over the semi gloss, and this happened. So imma take it down to plastic and re-do it all



I finally get my car back! YAY!

Almost There!

Well the weather sucked today, and I had to work at 4. But i did pick up some RTV, oil, and a new filter today. Gettin ready to do work tomorrow! Im finally done driving my mom's jeep. haha! Although i did have fun in it. Like trying to get it dirty, using every excuse i could to get it off road :D and having some RWD fun. well as much as i could in a low powered auto SUV. LMAO

Pic of the jeep. Glad im done driving this, its everything my car isnt. hahaha. But i was still glad i had a car to use.



Everything on my tool cart ready to go



One last non-mounted pic of the fenders and hood.



OIL PAN IS IN! I just cant get it because when i went to the post office to get the mail it was closed so no one could give me hte package :( But its nice to know its here. haha. Proof is in the pic. lol

One Last Teaser

Fenders and hood are painted yesterday. Hood was buffed today and looks sexyyyy. There sitting in my room right now. Lol. Imma clean everything else really good tomorrow like the car, try to get all the oil off the bottom of the car. possibly mount the fenders and hood depending on weather. And we'll see when i get the oil pan, but if i get it tomorrow i still need to buy oil and a gasket or some RTV or something. Which might have to wait till friday cuz thats when i get paid! Hahaha

I did use a plastic welder on one of the bumper tabs that hooks to the headlight. cuz mine was dead and thats one of the few things actually holding my bumper on :facepalm: But i got it way stronger, so im hoping my bumper will sit better on the car now.


Pic from school today before i buffed the hood so its even shinier now! Hahaha

Teaser

So i just found out i can upload pics from my phone to my computer. im slow i know. but here's a teaser from school today. This was after the last coat of base and before the clear.

That just happened

Alright. Fun story. So yesterday it was my grandma, and uncle's birthday. So we went to the Odessey around 11. Then around 1 i had to leave for work, so im drivin down the driveway and come around a turn and BAM BAM! the car bounces around and im like ughhh. I look back wondering what I hit. Some tree roots had pushed up the asphault, and i didnt see it untill it was too late. haha. but whatever i kept driving cuz everything seemed fine. So i get to work at like 2. Then around 7 one of the other workers came in and was like ur car is leaking tranny fluid. Im like WTF? Noo u suuuuuure its not oil. So after some back and forth we walk outside to see this.



FAIL! Epic fail!

So my dad came to pick me up when my shift was over, and i left the car there for the night. After work at like 2 today we came back to tow the car home.

Took a closer look



Gettin ready to tie it up.



Just about ready



On the road



Got it home, and wanted to take a good look.




Death and distruction!



Then I remembered my car was supposed to be painted tomorrow. Epic fail! But i decided to take the fenders and hood off and paint em off the car. less masking anyway. haha



Too bad i cant drive like this! hahah

Mini Tech Day At JC's

Yup, so i went down to JC's today to chill, and he was gunna help me get a job. lol. but i show up and there are like 5 cars there. im like wtf? Sweet! haha! so i take pics and we work on some cars.



My grille <3 haha



Beto and Will trying to figure out some wiring



More of the cars, including JC's brother's awesome GTI. ugh soo sexy. Car's a beast too





Back to work!



LOL!



Me holding my new job =P



Back to the wiring!



Then we spent hours trying to get JC's rear megans on. omg took WAY to long. Mainly cuz will wanted to do it his way, and i wanted to do it my way. so we didnt work together very well. lol. on top of that we had to take it apart 3 times because jc didnt think it was low enough. (even tho i told him to start with them maxed out, which is where we ended up. haha)



In and hopefully the spring will settle and give him a little bit more of drop. because this is one of the 2 rings removed on the pertches, and the other one is maxed out. If not the whole pertch is comming out. hehehe. Somewhere in here i also rolled his fears a little bit more. Maybe pulled em. idk he was sketched about me doing fender work with a bat. HA




Some sexy bikes JC wouldnt let me ride :p



Then JC and i went to Santa Clarita so i could turn in my job app. and i needed gas, and we all know pics ftw



Then we went to see a movie, but nothing was playing at a time anywhere close. so we played some video games at the arcade then left. but i snapped a few pics in the parking garage first. I woulda went to the top level and had some real photo fun, but there were speed bumps all the way up and i had enough trouble getting over the one i didnt wanna deal with more. hahaha






Then we went and got some ice cream cuz we were bored. lol. Is it me or does JC's look like a bowl of crap that was snowed on?



Good times. Good times. hhaha
