I took some more pictures today. In the second you can see what the clear coat did. It was a LOT worse but i had covered it with a coat of paint that day so it doesn't look as bad. I will hopefully sand it Friday night and have that painted if i can do it quick enough.

I bought a new radio. Got home, realized it didn't have the wire harness. I had to go back the next day and get one. I have it installed now and the gauges put back so things in the interior is coming back together again. I'm not sure if i can make that video tomorrow because Ive got a soccer game out of town but I'm going to try and put in the carpet and glove box too.

I put in the front carpet I had gotten off of an 89. For the rear carpet I bought a roll at Home Depot. Tomorrow: Finish rear carpet, back seat, install the glove box, wire amp and subs, and bolt down the battery. I have already started to make the video but I will post it once I paint the sunroof.

I wet sanded from the beginning. Im sorry for being inactive. I've finally had some free time. I just now got a chance to paint the roof, I found some s14 seats locally. As for the video I had started putting together the clips in a video editor and now I cant find the chip I had the video in . I didnt do a clean masking job this time but got the job done, and I had one can left from last time so I used it. The car could use a washing though .

Best rattle can job I've ever seen. I think I'm just used to seeing so many terrible flat-black rattle jobs that this glossy red looks acceptable.

Some of the close-up shots are a bit but for the money spent... I applaud your skills.

FYI: Being as hard headed as I am I decided to put gasoline on a spot and leave it there. Great new, It did nothing at all . Im going to was the car for the first time tomorrow night now that I have finally painted the roof. Ill post pictures of that.
