Default You asked for More...

Well...over the weekend I made a little progress....Special Thanks To:

- Jamanji(Jamanji) for fenders, Bumper and Speed Panels
- Sharkbait(Bryce)-for Bumper parts
- S13slider(Jay) - for the pop-ups
- Jared Noriega(Jared and Mario too) - for the parts run to Orlando - You two are TR's awesome ambassadors of good will and Karma!!

Now the update...

First Pix of installed White Passenger Fender...



Pop-ups activated!! work perfectly



First Road Trip...Passenger Side Benetton car FTW!!




Front of the Colors of Benetton...



Drivers Side Benetton shot...



Another front view...just for giggles...



Across the Core of the Benetton car...



Across the Core of the TR Semi-Glossed SE (LOL) - Fresh this morning -




Passenger shot...



Drivers Shot.... heavy dew this AM...may wet sand to even the paint out some...if i feel it will be worth the time.




There are still alot of tweaks to be done to the alignment of the fenders. I'm not happy at all with how they fit. The pop-ups need help as well. More than likely due the abuse the core support took in the accident. Its funny to see how different fends will sit on your car when swapped...tons of massaging to take place in the weeks to come, for sure.

Even though the car tracks fine and there appears to be no ill affects to the damage I am still looking into picking up a shell to transfer parts to.

Hope you enjoyed the update.

Flying out of work soon to grab a hood while on my way to Orlando. First true road test of any real distance for the radiator and the car as a whole since the accident. Its fine running around town...I dont suspect there will be any issues.

I'll post up some pix of the hood installed. When it is I should be able to tell just how far off the front is out. New bumper support to be had this weekend too.

Default Covered...Falkens.

I picked up the hood over the weekend...blew out a paseenger front tire on the way back from Orlando. Making it necessary to pick up a full set of treads. Found a good deal on Falken 502's...4 with 80%+ tread on them for $150...and no camber wear.

Pix...cuz i know you like'em...














A parting shot...

The car is looking better with each tweak and test fit. I am a master at removing fenders and bumper covers now.
Unfortunately the car just does not feel right. I'm currently looking for a shell. completely gutted...stipped for everything but a title. Though the car still performs well...rides nice and tracks true it just doesnt feel the same...and maybe, never will. I will keep working on it untill I find the shell /deal I want.


More to come...I promise.
