- Mon May 24, 2010 2:07 pm #196478 I painted my car over 4 years ago and with focusing on the engine, getting married & buying a house, I never got around to wet sanding or polishing - even waxing. So it lost gloss and became more of a satin green, which was kind of cool.
Then at SEMA I saw satin cars everywhere and thought about repainting mine to be glossy. I don't have the time to paint it right now, so I wet sanded it and polished over the weekend.

Before:

Now I feel the car is worthy of the new wheels I have waiting to go on :hehe:
Going to go a little lower first though.

I'll probably keep it like this for a year or so, but still plan on stripping the whole car back down to it's shell for a complete new color eventually.

- Wed May 26, 2010 2:13 pm #196896 I was almost home last night and hit a bump and heard a "clink" and my hatch glass started rattling. The steel latch inside the wiper motor that holds the glass down snapped clean off on both sides. That's a new one lol.

So I can't shut my hatch till I get that welded. :x

- Thu May 27, 2010 3:17 am #197068 The metal plate that all that mounts too on mine broke. Went to honda and bought a new one. Then putting it all back together, I broke the threaded part for the wiper arm lock nut. YAY...

- Thu May 27, 2010 3:51 am #197080 I just finished welding it back together :woot:

I didn't realize that just the part that broke was held on by 2 allen bolts and I didn't need to remove the whole wiper assembly until I had already taken it out.

Car is back on the road :thumb:

The car is getting aligned right now :woot2:

Next on the to-do list is replace the windshield, fix the cracked front bumper & polish that too, then experiment with some ideas on the roof. And of course finish getting the thing tuned!
