Sanded the roof

Well I do t have mo ey for the other fender just yet and the car looks
super white trash right now. As much as i wa t this on the road, i
don't wanna be that guy with the quad tone paint. I used two sheets of
60 grit sandpaper to tAke the roof down and will follow it up with 120
and so on u til it's smooth. Since half the car is already primered
metal this shouldn't take too long to do. I will however be doing it
all outside from now on Because of how messy it is.

hood, windshield, intake

Got the windshield in, the hood on, passenger side fender, intake, windshield cowl and wipers.

I'm a bit nervous. the hood seems to sit unevenly. I've got a feeling its saying the frame isn't quite straight. Either that or the hood hinges are jacked from its accident but I dunno, I doubt it.











I got the drivers side headlight aligned more and now i'm not as worried but im still pretty sure its messed up a bit. I honestly don't know if I will care or not . The mile I drove it it seemed to drive straight. if thats the case still then I'll leave it for a while.

I think that the hood sits a bit too low when latched and it doesn't drop straight into the bottom of the latch, it hits about 5mm off and slides in. Maybe it just needs some proper persuasion.

Left headlight


Right headlight


seam sealant broken at the base of the drivers side hood hinge.



Exhaust will go on soon. I got some good piping and need to do some cutting and welding.
