To everyone who has been following my project I have to apologize for not updating in such a long time.

Unfortunately my daily driver has taken a shit and needs to be fixed, and I have been busy the last 4 days working on improving the garage so I can properly paint the car, It has been exhausting and way more time consuming than I ever thought it would be. I have been waiting on my tuner to actually work with me on base tuning my car, but he has been to busy.

I get very frustrated when I need to wait on others to make progress, an sadly that has been the case lately. I was able to get some things done however...

The sides of the car are in final prime and can be painted after I wet sand them.

And as a glimpse into the future, this is the underside of my hood, painted in Standox 16151 (deep black). This is the color my car will be.

Another slightly boring paint related update. Rest assured, things are happening.

It needs a lot more buffing haha!

I can't believe how good it handles, it certainly hasn't disappointed.
