The way I work on my car!

[Mishka]

Hey!No garage makes my "tuning" a little harder. Plus till about 2 weeks ago this was my only car, so if I was taking everything apart I had to put it back together by the end of the day. Because it's taking so long I'm loosing enthusiasm a little. It sucks.

Let's try again.

ur car's solid man, I guess it would suck not having a garage...I'm gonna make a note to have one of those on my house lolKeep it up man, the car's worth it in the long run.

You are from NJ and you just said hella? I dont understand.....

[kane2g]

Life without air tools??? Why bother!

[dfw240_EE]

Try apartment. They won't let you do ANYTHING to your car on premises. I understand why, but it still sucks.

[ILikeMy240sx]

hahah thats how I work on cars. I live on college dorm so I do the repairs in the parking lot

[Mishka]

The paint is "Daytona Blue" from 350Z. The whole paint job was 1000 (manager that runs this body shop is a good friend of mine) just to cover materials and a few beers for the guys. Having no air tools sucks, but I'm happy that management does not mind all the mess, yet!

Lol yea hella isnt really used on the east cost, but maybe il start the new trend. 1000 bucks far a paintjob is a sweet deal, i hope i can find someone that will hook me up like that!

[Paragon]

man, i was expecting to see a case of beer sitting next to some craftsman tools, a big-azz compressor, and a lift. that's the way i used to work on cars....before my dad sold his shop.

[Mishka]

If I had a shop (or at least my own garage) I would have been enjoing my KA-T for a half a year by now!

I like working in my heated garage. I need to add a/c for the summer. Yeah I know what it was like having to work on your car at your friends house or try to put it together in your driveway before dark. I ended up renting a storage unit for a few months so I could work on my car. Ended up working out really well.

I'm going to get my car painted soon too. But i want to paint the whole car and not just the exterior and leave it 2-tone. Red inside and white outside.How much does painting the whole car cost normally? Inside and out?

Hey!Unfortunately I don't know what you are talking about but I would really like to hook up with some KA-T guys here in Houston. What's that H-I you are talking about?

[Mishka]

Another thing. To paint your car inside and out would be 4-5 grand minimum! That's why it was never an option for me. By the way from the outside the car doesn't look 2 tone at all, even door jams are painted and clear coated. But I have to admit that with no bumper cover it looks ugly!

I appologize for low quality picture.

[ForsakenTH]

you car looks great. i know the joy of working on cars in college too...its such a pain in the ***...the place i live now has a garage but you have to drive in the grass to get to it and it rains so much here that you usually cant get out unless you tear up the yard...i usually have to go to my fiends house..such a pain.

[Accord-240sx]

The paint is HOT!!But you really should paint under the trunk lid.

[koukiKA240]

Anyhow, H-I is http://www.Houston-Imports.com/forums Pretty much where you can out about most anything going on in houston.
