Washed, waxed and moar pics...



 

Took a few low angle shots with lights on, but the light reflecting made it almost impossible to focus.

I was hoping for flames with the exhaust video. Aside from my disappointment there, pretty cool car Teku!

So.... What's the top speed? >.>
Being a good racer in Halo isn't just about getting the best times. You have to know where your teammates and enemies are, and most of all... how to be crafty! XD -nods-

Oh... and "v.v" = sad face.

Awwh, tis a pity. v.v My Mustang is limited too. = / I think that you should legally be allowed to drive fast if you're able to control the vehicle. xD

Heh, today I got to go down some gravel roads in the Mustang. It's so much fun to drift. = ) Plus, the feel of counter steering.... -dies- Amazing. Since I don't have any money to replace the tires I don't try to power slide or peel out even if it just rained. For me, gravel is really the only surface that I'll drift on, till I get some money to replace tires. xD

There's just something about the back end of your car sliding out as you go around a curve.

I got too much grip to break the tires loose >:c
I seriously went through a large puddle and floored it on purpose just to break the rear out, because with the suspension system and mods installed.... I just cant get the rear out :(

Thanks Tai

Weeee busy busy busy irl, got some things done to the Z though.

Got the Z detailed, I am absolutely amazed at the difference between before and after.







Intial results were astounding, I took some night shots but all of them are blurring from the light reflecting rofl... But for now some day shots.



Will take pictures of the engine bay later, I also got it detailed and the 20yo plastic looks brand freaking new, I am shocked...

That paint was shot, water marks all over, scratches and marks in the paint, overspray from whoever painted it, ect....

If you notice in particular, the hood...

Had it washed, wet sand, wax, buff, paint seal and washed.
Sat there watching them for the entire three hours, just ._.

aaaand edit




Manual focus for the win.

Whoops, forgot engine bay...



Took a few at the airstrip this morning.





Fixed T-top trim.


Before


After.


Alright started reupholstering my interior...


This is the old center console, the plastic is cracked and the fabric is... 'crunchy' no real other way to describe it.


Old foam compared to the new stuff, the old foam is physically powderizing  after I took the fabric off.


Bought some epoxy and wire mesh to fix the center console, worked quite well actually.


This is where I'm at now, applying the fabric and new foam to the plastic lid. After about 30 mins of playing with glue and the foam, I got it to stick...
Little less time with the fabric since it bonded right to the foam, the foam didnt want to bond to the plastic.
Working on wrapping it neatly right now, that silver piece under it is the backside of a piece of material that failed. I'm not so good at this, but it is going better the second time around. Learning from mistakes and all.

Finished while I was sitting 'idle' at my computer.



Certainly doesnt look like a pro's job, but it looks decent and feels a lot better than that cloth.
Here are some pics of it mounted in place, you can see the difference between the seats that WERE black at one point and the console. That and the fabric interior looks like junk compared to it. :l


Looks really nice and feels great ^_^

Saw a Z33 while I was eating, parked by it.


lol...mine is a good 4" lower than it.

Weee comp of multiple posts D:
