Teggykid Running Log *New Wheels*

Here is a quick video of some of the lines I’m talking about. If you can spot anything be sure to tell! Thanks!

Also we are looking at the rest of the parts being painted by this weekend. Then we will start putting and aligning all of it back together. Depending on how much we can get done, I MIGHT have it home late Sunday.]

Wow thanks! Didn’t really think I was doing anything special. Appreciate it!

UPDATE

Steve painted the rest of the body parts today. So when we go this weekend we will be hanging the doors, and putting on everything else. Aligning it is gonna suck. If all goes smoothly, which it never does, I might be able to have it home Sunday. Can anyone confirm if I am going to need anything since I switched from the 90-91 bumper to the 92-93 bumper?

As long as it’s just the bumper skins you swapped, you should only have to trim the foam on the ends. Front or rear? Progress looks good, should be pretty clean when you’re done.

Yeah just the plastic part. I think we ordered both in the 92-93, but it may have just been the front.

Gonna hang the doors first this weekend, so I’ll most likely have it home Sunday. Doors, hood, and trunk lid are basically all I really HAVE to put on. I can leave off the bumper skins and just throw them in the Jeep if we run out of time. Also started my first day of work Wednesday. 24 hours a week on minimun wage isn’t much, but at least I’m exempt from taxes because I’m a student :ohyeah: . Missed the dealine to get paid this week, and I get paid every two weeks, so not next week, but the week after I will get paid. Finally have some cash to put in my baby! Holding off on buying any unnessesary parts this summer, unless I manage to get it where I need it.

Well just got back a little bit ago. Definitely the best day so far! Looks good from the outside, but man, the inside is going to be a bitch. My 92-93 front bumper when on after a lot of swearing, forceful pushing, and cutting down the dreaded styrofoam. Although I found out my tail lights won’t fit, and neither will my rear bumper, it was a good day. I now have two sets of tails for sale if anyone is interested. Have some 2 door 50/50 tails, mint, and some 92-93 DB1 tails, near perfect condition! I’m more upset that I couldn’t have those tails rather than them not fitting. But on to the pics! :slight_smile:



































looks great

:rockon: looking good

Thanks guys. My rear bumper might be painted by next weekend. It just depends what Steve is doing. And I think I remember seeing a 50/50 tail at the junkyard. I’ll have to go check.

UPDATE

Got some crappy news guys. When Steve painted my fenders and doors, he had the fenders hanging and the doors laid flat. So when he sprayed, the flakes layed down different on each, causing my fenders to looked a lighter red than my doors at most angles. So the fenders and the two front doors have to be repainted. He also wasn’t to happy to find out I had the wrong rear bumper. Only good news is I’m getting my money back for the rear bumper.

What’s wrong with the rear bumper?

It was for a coupe, not a sedan.

Well all good now. The paint is corrected ans Steve started buffing one of the doors. Definitely looks better. Moving on! Todat go bought a driver side inner fender, and driver side tail light. We installed all the glass and polished/buffed the headlights and tails. Now we are pretty much just waiting for the buffing and wetsanding to be done, then all the trim will go on. After that in goes the carpet, seats, door planels, panels, stereo wiring, speakers, fiberglass, ect ect. It never ends does it?





















UPDATE

Well Steve finished buffing today! Said it’s super shiny now. Also mentioned that some of the people who have their cars there as well said it didn’t even look like the same car anymore, haha. Probably going to pick it up tomorrow. I also got my tag and now the title is in both my dad’s and my name. Once I get paid friday I have to pay my dad back for the tag, carpet, bumper lights, and paintballs, haha. Got back into playing again with a couple of my friends behind one of thier neighborhoods. He’s got an old course back there we use and are working on fixing up.

UPDATE

Well, after months and months of hard work, it (mostly) paid off! It’s not quite done but it’s nice just to have her at the house. Driving went pretty well. Opened her up a bit with some fresh 93 octane and Lucas injector cleaner. Definitely needs to be aligned, has a strange sound coming from rear right side (I’m guess the wheel or spring) when I turn or brake, but not all the time? Check engine light is on, but I’m guessing it’s just my vacuum lines that aren’t hooked up right, haha. We’ll be checking it tomorrow. Need some clips for some of the trim pieces, but most of them are on. Well anyways I could go on and on about what it needs, so here are some pics to see for yourself!















Also, can one of the admins take off the NEW WHEELS on my thread topic? I would love if it just said Teggykid Log, thanks!
