    Underwear on my face would just cover up my masculine good looks. Oh, who am I kidding. Most would probably prefer underwear or anything else that hid my face.

    I know I said I was done, but this is just too good to ignore;

    That is no way to talk about your visits with Mrs HCP if want them to continue.

    Going in tomorrow to finish most of the bodywork.

    Spent another half day working on it yesterday. Almost ready for primer.


    The hood had quite a few dents from people pushing on it to close it. Hate that. The most work I have left is the front bumper. Have to weld the cracks and license holes. image000000_10.jpg 20180721_115025_HDR.jpg 20180721_111232.jpg 20180721_111144.jpg

    Took the hatch off. Not even going to paint the inside. Looks like new.

    No rust and the paint it bright yellow and not faded. image000000_11.jpg

    @honkicracker this thread. I used to hate yellow too. I like it on this car but I'd kill for an orange 5 door. 2004 only

    You can always sell it to a cheap cabbie in NYC.

    When I was a young kid, I had a yellow bicycle. I've always wanted a yellow car.

    Yellow cars have the lowest accident rate of any color of car. School buses are yellow for a reason.

    Should look pretty close to this when done except not lowered. Need to order a chin spoiler. Not many options out there. My original is gone, had a black foam universal piece taped on. Didn't look too bad.

    Thinking of ordering a repro 2003 or so cobra or mach lip. 60 bucks and may look decent. We'll see
