I already have several kids to take care of...like Rominl, Jawnthen, Lex400SC & Solo to name a few.

If you were local, I'm sure you could come over to my house and chill too.

Default Day 9 thru 19: Update

Hello everyone. Well it's been 10 days since I reported any progress. Don't have any completed mods to show, but you can see from these pics that we (my hubby) is hard at work !

I will post completed sections of the interior as they are completed. All for now.

Here's the preparation for fitting the front bumper, before sending it to the paint shop

The fit of the bumper was not "perfect" so it was sanded down to match the fender better.

You can see a gap at the front by the headlight, which was eventually filled with polyester and sanded to shape. My husband will post a detailed article with pics in the future, so don't ask me about it !

All I know is that he spent an hour to get the JDM grill to fit after taking it off and on about 15 times ! I was wondering why he didn't send the body kit to the paint shop as soon as it arrived. Now I know why.

The roof spoiler fit OK, but was wavy and un-even.

You can see after sanding through the layers of primer that the black areas are high spots and most of the red area are low spots. This was a lot more work than I expected.
