It's not to say I haven't been working on the car at all, just been slow going.
Since the last post:
- Got new set of carbon fiber doors and have them temporarily mounted. Still need to get a nice day on a weekend at home to pull the car out of the garage to hang them correctly. I still also need to figure out how I'm going to keep them closed.
- Picked up a front bumper cover from a 2010. Now I've got a white front on the already blue, black, and flat black car... The bumper was naked, being just the cover. So I've ordered up the brackets to hold it on and the foglight housing.
- I'm currently working on the removal of the sound deadening material that is under the seats and on the back deck. I've already done the back deck and passenger side, and am about half way through the driver's side. It started from my plan to paint the interior and not wanting to paint over it. As it turns out though, it's pulling out about 2 pounds per location. Not insubstantial in the grand scheme of things. The steps involved include - Using a scraper/putty knife to pry it out (this is slow and tedious!) - Go back over the area a second time with the scraper to get as many of the small chunks off - Finally go over the whole thing with Acetone to remove the remaining residue.
I'll try to post more this weekend
