Sublimejoe Posted June 30, 2014 Author Share Posted June 30, 2014 After sitting under a tree for the last couple of months I finally found some time to trailer it down to the body shop for body work and a full respray. Going to be pristine when done, I cannot wait! http://i.imgur.com/JE93Z9th.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Awesome dude, what color you going with..I'm at that stage with my little build too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublimejoe Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thanks! I am keeping the car white, just a different white. The color is picked out but I am going to keep that under wraps for now. Shaving up the bay a bit and spraying that as well. Pretty excited! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleaidestar Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Lol, ill tell you my color though, mine is silver right now but I'm going to spray a white toner and I'm going battleship heat, going to widebody it so I can fit 17x9's -30's flush. I'm with you on the excitement level, the plus is that work at a vw tuning shop and I'm going to rip all of them a new one, they always screwing with me because I like Japanese wagons.

monkeyposeur Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Looks good! What is your setup? Gun/Compressor? I wish I had a garage. I had to take an auto body class in order to have a place to shoot my wagon (downdraft heated booth). But my teacher let me use his $700 gun.

That isn't my house actually, my painter took the car to his house so he could do the body work at night when he gets home from his shop. He will be taking it to his actual shop to spray it once the primer cures etc. I can ask him what his setup is though. You have a picture of your wagon you'd like to share?

monkeyposeur Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 It's a second gen, but sure! It had pretty extensive damage from a rear end collision that happened before I purchased it. I'm slowly piecing a 205/22T hybrid to swap in.

monkeyposeur Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Thanks! Yeah, I'd never done it before. I was surprised how great it turned out. I'll paint my SS in the spring hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 Deathstare. So you're the one I lost to on ebay. Lol. I totally forgot to bid and then poof it was gone. Door cards will look great with the blue against the white exterior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Door cards will look great with the blue against the white exterior. Did you see the other one that was all cracked? It was more expensive than this one for some reason. I wanted to buy it since I am recovering anyway but someone swooped it. Now I just need to find someone that will do it that isn't $600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
