Went to check on Roxy at the body shop today

They're working on stretching the rear now to make space for the wide body

They are also going to make it so that if I pull the rear fenders off I'll still have a nicely flared rear fender

The driver had already had the metal welds smoothed and now has the body bondo to smooth out the rough ends

The passenger side had just gotten welded up and still needs to get smoothed out before the bondo

Here are some more pics:

 

Alright guys

so its finally there!!

the work on the rear flares to go under the over fenders is pretty much complete, just a little more smoothing out to do for the straight line on the edge

the doors and glass are now off the car

and i also had the guys at the body shop take off that weather guard wrinkly stuff at the bottom of the door and body

she goes in for primer to start the paint process on tuesday!!!

 

So they finally sprayed some preliminary primer to make sure the lines are good and to make any adjustments

car should be going getting full primer and color tomorrow!!!

then it'll bake for about a week, then buff and polish, and she'll be on her way back to my house!!

I can't wait to get the fenders 100% bolted on...its gona look crazy!!!

 

They started the 2nd layer of primering the fenders, doors, and body
then they'll sand it down again to make sure all the lines are right
then if it gets cleared by Mike the owner of Miami Autoworks, it goes in for color

also
Finally got to putting the threaded inserts into the body to bolt on the rear fenders

such a freaking scary moment to see them drilling into the body of my car!!! :bigeyes::bigeyes::bigeyes:
I almost jumped in front of the drill to save her!! lmaooo

but the finished product became really nice with the stainless button head fasteners :nod:

 

some more pics of the car getting worked

it will be in the booth getting sprayed today!!! then baking time!!

the pic of the bumpers is the first layer of color that they sprayed last night...fooking beautiful in the sun!!

 

hey guys...heres the pics from today...the car has its first layer of color on it to see any imperfections or waves in the paint

now they're sanding it all down again after fixing any imperfections

but the color looks freaking beautiful!!!

Also they mounted the Canards on the URAS bumper, which looks ****ing insane!!!

now just gota paint the bottom lip and the canards gloss black (which will later be wrapped in carbon)

next layer of color will go on monday!!!

 

alright guys

heres the update for today

i finally got to push the now semi color matching car together with a semi-decently sized tire

and even this semi-put together car...looking ****ing insane!!!!! and the front bumper looks out of this world amazing! much better than i thought it would!!

the wheel i put on the rear is cheapy chinese POS Vossen wheel that i refuse to allowed to be seen on my car, i really can't stand having chinese cheapy knock off wheels on my car :wall bash:

but either way, its a 20x10.5 +30 with a 285/30/20 tire, i purposely used an oversized diameter wheel so i could make sure there wouldn't be any rubbing issues when the suspension travels

the wheel setup i'll be building for it at ISS Forged will be an 18x12 or 18x12.5 so you can kind of get an idea of what the difference in sizing will be

heres the pics

 

project looks great so far. can't wait to see the finished product

 

Car came out of the paint booth...and Miami Autoworks, my body shop, is the best freaking body shop on the planet. period.

heres pics of the car out of the booth...no wet sand....no buff...just the final layer of clear over it

now i'll be taking the fenders off...take her home, get her all started up and running, put the body parts back on...then after about a month, once the clear has properly cured, i'll bring her back to get completely wet sanded and buffed

look at the metallic and its not even outside in the sun!!!

enjoy!!

 

well i'll be putting Roxy to sleep for about a week at the body shop under a nice plastic body cover to keep the dust out

going on a business trip so i'll be letting the clear cure at the body shop, then when i get back she comes back home to get all buttoned up, started and tuned...then back to the body shop to get all the body parts put on and wet sand and buffed after a month

but on a brighter note...i got my J-Magic headlights from HotWater Labs today woot woot!!! These just gota get refinished and painted now!

 

can't wait to see this finished. thanks for providing quality pics

they're basically a set of flow-matched 2200cc Bosch EV14s

 

i didn't get to bring my car home today cus they were finishing up a couple of things on the body



i did however get to see my front bumper painted with the lip and all
looks awesome!!

All the glass is back on, i'll be removing all those stickers

on wednesday, the diffuser, rear bumper, and rear wide body go on before i tow the tow truck to bring her back home

 

so today i was able to do final installation of the passenger side rear fender
and start assembling the diffuser

and it looks ****ing awesome!!

im so happy i went with threaded inserts and allen bolts instead of just sheet metal screws

she's so nice and curvy now!! Roxy has gone from Kiera Knightley to Kim Kardashian!!! lmaooo
