Finally got the keys to the warehouse where I will be working on my car. I grabbed up the parts I've gained so far and took them out there, figured I'd snap a few pics while I was at it. This place is a lot bigger than I was expecting, I guess I've just never seen 4500 sq ft of plain open space before.

This is where I'll be working on it at, I wasn't parking it there to start tearing it apart just yet, I just wanted to get some measurements so I can setup a proper paint booth when the time comes.

Just another shot.

Sweet! good luck! are you just painting the parts to match your car, or are you painting it all a different color?

I'm painting it the same color, but I'm doing more than just painting the parts. A few weeks ago my car was parked outside and got hail damage all over it, plus the paint is just crappy after 9 years of use. My plan is to strip it all down, mold on the sideskirts and rear extensions (as soon as I find them) fix all the body damage and repaint the whole car.

Hell yeah, I'll let you know, I'm bringing in a nice air compressor and a nice DA sander but I'll still have to do a bunch by hand, and four hands will certainly work faster than two smile.gif

Eh, my mom knows I can be a deviant at times, I just prefer not to throw it in her face. I got them from Vincent_doggy, a member on here, they were the last set he had for sale but he is always getting new jdm parts in and might even be able to get them for you if you ask. His prices are awesome too, I bought these as soon as he quoted me, no haggling needed.
