to remove it completely, but i understand they are very strict over there. there are several cleaner plate holders and some that are electric and hide away at the push of a button. a car with that much work i would think would have a little more time invested to clean up the front....just my $.02

Sir his is what I'm working with. Been so busy with work haven't had time to work on it. Rear fender got messed up because I hired some "mobile mechanic" who claims he know body work. ALl he did was flared it. So I hammered it back in. I'm thinking about giving it a pull but it seems like too big of a pull, which is not possible. Maybe I'll just do what I did for the front?

So I end up cutting the inner panel and began pulling, a pull is definitely not the answer for this! I guess I will do what I did for the fronts.

So I had a delay with the car. I was out of state for work. Finally got back in February and worked on it none stop. Finally finished it a couple of weeks ago. Here's a little update


The front. I have to get a friend of mine weld a wire to it to reinforce it. He did a really good job.











the rear bondo

Finish. Just waiting on the chrome bumper moulding to come. Then I can realign the front bumper more.

do you have a side shot? work looks good but i think that rear line needs to be smoothed out more to flow better. also did you think about extending the wide body part to evenly flow with the rear? it just drops off after the arch....i dont know if that even makes sense to you

ill post more more pics when I do my photo shoot, I wanna buff out some of the dust that got on the paint when I was painting it outside in my ghetto tent. Yeah I know what you mean about the flow. I was on a time restriction with the car, had to finish it within 1 month so I can start working again but it took me 3 weeks longer. It could’ve been done better but in the end it turned out pretty okay. I won’t be taking it to shows or car meet. Just a cool little daily driver. I get a lot of thumbs up on the road though haha.

Here’s a better shot of the bumper. You can kinda see the grill.

thanks! That’s how I feel about my car too. The best thing that I did to the car was the front bumper. Yes it’s sorta custom. It’s our stock front bumper and I added a few things to make it look more “aggressive” and “factory”.
