Lemons auto x/dd build thread / introduction**

[sci2000tech]

I hear ya. It would take twice as long to clean off overspray then to do a good masking job. Glad to hear you're taking your time with it.

Are you painting it yourself?

Can't wait to see pics with fresh paint.

[lemon]

yeah the paint thats on there is sooooooooooooooooo covered with over spray , ( kinda why i decided to respray )

and yeah paintin it my self, not going for the perfect job tho, just want a nice uniform red, instead of 3 diff whites, blacks ect ect

[lemon]

type x is on

little rust fix/prevention


bumper + sleepy eye mod




ordering fenders for it so im not ganna bother painting the fronts, but i had cloudy days looking like rain the last few days, so paintings been on hold

[lemon]

well, didn't order the few things i thought i would butttttttttttttttt heres an update non the less

primed the whole front of the car, have the door, trunk, and rear quarters left
ordered a carbon fiber vented hood ? drift style?? idk what that means, from frpbodykits.com

[lemon]

updated pic

[lemon]

did a little work today
got this hood from frpbodykits, off ebay. welllllll its way lighter then the stock hood, and it looks pretty good, cost wasn't to bad either...only bad part, is i can't get it to latch for the life of me, soooo i got some hood pins today also, need to put those on tomorrow, hence why the hood isn't shut all the way

i get my bride vios III's in 2 days also..so onto the pics



question!...how bad is it to have the engine exposed this much? when it rains, which has a lot recently will that cause damage to anything that far up on the engine? should i worry?

[lemon]

i HATE...the convertible top, first the one peice breaks not letting the driver rear window go up......and now the passenger rear window is off the track and wont go up....

[lemon]

well some update / news

finished priming the whole car, and i got my bride seats it....they came with universal sliders that just arn't going to work, so im fabing the stock sliders to work with the new seats why can't something just work easily on my car

the trunk stopped closing now also, so im just going to ditch the latch assembly and get lever style latches on the out side

[lemon]

well yahoo's gay and wont let me upload pics like i used to....so no pic updates

but the car is now painted WHITE again haha, but its nicer cause it's all the same color white instead of 3 diff colors, and dirt and grimy looking

couldn't fab up something for the seats, so the stockers are back in for now, picking up a buddy club rail friday, andddd other then that, nothin really new about the car

[lemon]

welll i figured out how to upload pics, so these are what i have so far
the car is however, all painted white, i have my bride seats in but no railes sooo im waiting for the funds for those
i replaced my ricer sparco knob also while i was working on the car today

but heres some pics just so i have some progress documentation, i'll have more either later tonight or tomorrow
oh yeah! also finally effing got my top fixed

this has to be the favorite way my car looked...but i dunno it looks soooo "incomplete" but badass at the same time


then heres all primer

[nissan_star]

I'm not sure about the water thing, but i don't think you want to get your dizzy wet. And i hope you didn't want to have a clean engine bay ever...

[lemon]

ehhh the engine bay is actually cleaner since the new hood O.o dunno how,...and water hasn't effected it at all, had it for a few months now too...today tho i started it up right after the storm we had, i usually wait like an hour, and i think not alot of the water had a chance to dry, and i had a few hickups at low rpms...but they went away
sooooooooooooooooooooooo its all good

[lemon]

alright it's been a while since ive updated this...
recent events with the car areeeeeeee:
runing lights don't turn on and neither does the dash light, i have a brand new switch to install tomorrow
the rubber exhaust hangers all ripped in half
AND something weird is going on when i first start the car...its like it has hiccups

BUTTTTTTTTTTTT i did get a proper fitting bumper
soooo onto a recent pic

[lemon]

cleaned and washed, just felt like snappin some pics
