Some more updates.. picked up a brand new magnaflow exhaust today for $400! Also found a guy selling some 01 Cobra seats in great condition for $750. Thinking about grabbing them! Car is almost finished being sanded, just a few small parts mainly. Planning to paint it next week!










How did you shave the antenna opening? Did you use a backer? Welding?

You got it!

Also guys i got the car painted last week, had some orange peel so i wetsanded it down and buffed half the car so far. Also my painter has been slacking and there is still a few parts that he didnt paint yet, but i'm hoping he gets to them tomorrow. (sail panels, side skirts, lower side scoop vents and my other wing i have.) Anyways let me post up some pictures..

If the rest of my parts get painted tomorrow i will have it all back together and finished by wednesday. Then i will be able to get much better pictures outside the garage! I also got all brand new emblems for the car, new interior door handles, door buttons, license plate light covers and a bunch of other stupid little things for the car lol

Also if you're wondering about how we painted the car. It was primered twice with 2 different primers (as you can see in first couple pictures it's a long story) lol car was wetsanded twice after each primer with 400, then 600. Then the car went in the paint booth and my painter sprayed a black sealer over the entire car first which i didn't get any pictures of then he sprayed the mystic. I hand sanded this car 4 times now with the use of a bunch of different blocks, but i can tell ya i never want to sand again after all that lol

Oh man! Looks sick! Great story behind the car and even better that you are saving it.

That is such a cool color! My only worry would be getting it all done and never wanting to drive it.

More pictures incoming.. Finished buffing the car today and all the parts are now painted. Tomorrow morning i will be putting the rest back together and i'll be driving it! Still need to get some exhaust tips though, don't know what i'm going to do there yet. My magnaflow exhaust i got came with some ridiculously long fake tips they stick out literally 3 inches from the bumper.. I would like to order the real magnaflow tips that were supposed to come with the exhaust but don't know where to get them at or even which ones they are.

We painted the R on my Rovos wheel caps Mystic. But they look black unless you're looking right on top of them. Maybe it will show more in the sun!
