evilbetty Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 well hi everyone I'm new here i thought id post up this little tidy up job I'm doing on an old ke55 4 door,i bought the car from some guy as a completly standard original condition with 96000 ks on the clock,i recently sold my rx7 and needed a runner to get me to work so i got this,how ever not being satisfied with a ugly looking bright red box on wheels i decieded to give it a slight tidy up,i call it a tidy up because its not really a project car or anything like that its just a daily driver that i thought id tidy a bit ,so here we go wiht what ive done so far,:::: now i didnt actulay have a pic of the car when i first got it a few weeks ago so i just borrowed this pic to show what it pretty much looked like::: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbetty Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 well that was the best pic i could find to give the idea what the car looked like ,my car has the long ended chrome bumpers, there was a big dent in one of the 1/4 panels so i knocked it out,and fixed up a few small dents here and there nothing to extreme just a quick tidy,got it in primer and then painted the insides of the doors a nice metalic blue colour ,then got it all sanded down and put it in the spray booth............
