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

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.

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

Bumper and side skirts clean too

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

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

Photobucket

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

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.

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

Gettin ready to tie it up.

Photobucket

Just about ready

Photobucket

On the road

Photobucket

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

Photobucket
Photobucket

Death and distruction!

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

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.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Beto and Will trying to figure out some wiring

Photobucket

Photobucket
Photobucket
Photobucket

Back to work!

Photobucket

LOL!

Photobucket

Me holding my new job =P

Photobucket

Back to the wiring!

Photobucket

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)

Photobucket

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

Photobucket
Photobucket

Some sexy bikes JC wouldnt let me ride :p

Photobucket

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

Photobucket

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
