Teggykid Running Log *New Wheels*









There is a lot of work that has been done that isn’t pictured. Like painting the fender wells with the same sealant stuff and running new battery wires and new wire from alternator. Baically lots of little things I dont remember, but will try to and then take picstures of! :slight_smile:

that paint came out great man, all that prep work really paid out, it looks like glass.

I would definitely either paint the side moldings to match, or paint the bumper moldings black. It would finish off the paint job IMO

That’s what I was thinking. Yesterday when I started looking at it I noticed it seemed kinda weird that the front and rear were painte but not the sides. We might end up doing it this week. We still have some of the paint left over.

Ran the speaker wire and RCA’s today. Also started putting the interior back together. Well, only the pieces that wouldn’t get in the way while we finish the stereo. Still need some metal pieces that support the back seat? I got a panel for the back and it’s obviously wissing the piece. Probably pick them up sometime this week.






Shit looks hot man! I cant say that Im particularly fond of the color as I dont really like red/maroon colors, but I can definitely appreciate the work that went into it and how it is turning out.

I also paint cars, so like I said, I can definitely appreciate a paintjob that was done nicely. :wave:

Yeah I know what you mean. I can’t really stand to see shitty painted cars. Even more to drive one. lol

Alright well today not too much done. Put some more panels back in along with my passenger seat. Also put the horn back on my steering wheel. Don’t have a clock spring yet, but I got sick of looking at it like that. Also put the steering column plastic covers on too.

Ordered the left and right motor mounts, though the guy gave us the wrong ones. Also still haven’t gotten my turn signals yet… Stupid Oreilly’s.



I’m just a bit curious as to why u ran the rca’s from the deck to the passenger side and then down the driver’s side? I saw that u have 0 ga. goin down the passenger side u mite get induced noise bein that close and parallel to the 0 ga. even tho i see a twisted rca. I assume u were trying to avoid wires being pinched when putting the seats in? U could have also went down the middle.

lookin good brother man, cant wait to see the fresh paint on my db1 when i get home lol so excited

I didn’t run the wires, my dad did. He’s been doing car audio for 20+ years and has won awards like Top 100 installer in the US and even Top 10. He knows what he’s doing. He can explain it to you, because I don’t know, haha.

Ready to see yours too man!

I also have a 12" CDT in a ported box. Still bare wood, so no pics to show. The front speakers and sub is powered a cheapie 4ch. amp, no rear fill. The system was supposed to be powered by a CDT amp, but funds were low.

love that paint job. my paint job is clean, except for the orange peel :frowning: it bothers me somewhat

Lol, I was talking about Stevo’s DB1, but alrighty, haha.

nice paintjob!

Thanks!

Well probably going to replace my motor mounts tomorrow. Also needs a new driver side axle and my exhaust is rattling against the underside of the car in the back.

Drove it around today though, had fun! Even though my AC doesn’t work, hahaha. AND it’s 96 degrees outside! PLUS humidity! Southern weather ftl!

Also ordered my turn signals yesterday, not sure when they are going to be in.

damn dude, a lot of work went into this car… much respect, great paint too… but i’m not going to lie, i almost cried when i saw it was auto…

Lmao. Yeah it sucks, but I’m swapping it out this year hopefully. Depends how an afterschool jobs search turns out.
