I either failed at bondo, or made a cool sculpture. lol. Rally mirror. Painted intake. I painted the fender flares, and some other trim pieces black, and tested some chrome paint that I got.

I took the bumpers off last night, and started cleaning the rust spots under the tail lights. Tonight's forecast has a lot of Bondo in the future (what do you guys call it? bog?). I also primered the fender flares I have, so I'll start getting those tacked on and ready for fiberglass soon. I'll try to get more pictures tonight.

Yeah! A workmate found that in a barn and got it for real cheap. The inside is near overrated. Pretty cool little car.

Did some work tonight. Mostly to the garage. Painted the hood white. Painted the air intake orange for fun, and because it was rusting over. I made a mock up of the paint job I'm going for. I need to find a set of those smaller "normal" bumpers, and mirrors like that.

That green is awesome. Love it.

Hahaha, yeah the USDM bumpers are freakishly large. I kinda like having them on just in case I need to push some cows around or something. Over the weekend I filled in the holes where the chrome trim used to go and did some sanding.

Lots of grey primer and rust. 1974 Toyota Corolla by squidbits, on Flickr 1974 Toyota Corolla BAdge by squidbits, on Flickr 1974 Toyota Corolla Name Badge by squidbits, on Flickr First I found the cup holder hiding in the back. Then I primered it up. Complete with racing stripe. Alongside my '02 Subaru Legacy GT daily driver. Hanging next to my bosses' Mercury Meteor. Then I took it to the track. Got it a little muddy. And a little sideways. A proper mess. Tonight I finished painted the bottom part of the grill silver. It turned out nice. I also picked up a set of these on Friday. Need some spacers for them to fit on the front. What do you guys think? I love this car.
