Fun_in_my_z Posted February 19, 2006 Share #2 Posted February 19, 2006 Power sanders are amazing tools. I have shaved the rear buper and got rid of the indentions, It looks awsome. But i got alot more work to do before i primer it tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasz Posted February 19, 2006 Share #3 Posted February 19, 2006 tri-star, did you just bondo this area up and smooth it or did you do metal work (cut/weld etc)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tri-Star Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share #4 Posted February 19, 2006 both-i didnt weld though i used "Well-Bond adheasive" its a 2 part epoxy like stuff thats supposed to harden better then a weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arne Posted March 10, 2006 Share #9 Posted March 10, 2006 The workmanship looks awesome. Great to see that it was done correctly. I personally don't think I care for the look, but that's just me. It's your car and if you like it that's all that matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netpreference Posted March 10, 2006 Share #10 Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks Arne, I realise its not everyones 'thing' but I had a vision and I'm on a mission to make it real..... Just hope when it's finished it stops raining so I can enjoy the car Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingdavid280 Posted March 10, 2006 Share #11 Posted March 10, 2006 wow thats really nice are those skyline lights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netpreference Posted March 10, 2006 Share #12 Posted March 10, 2006 Nope but they do look kinda close to them... they are not from a specific car, I stumbled across a supplier here in the UK who specialises in all types of custom lights etc and they were just what I was looking for! :laugh: Dean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
