first coat on the hood... didn`t go so well... added some laquer thinner on the next application!


prepped and ready to go


some masking and weather stripping removal later....

here she is. this is the 2nd coat sprayed. i sanded the drips down in these photos and is mere moments before the 2nd (and in some places third) coat.
I just finished the last coat with my lady friend who was disturbed by the stench of the paint but was kind enough to help me finish the job :P all my other mates were out or playing baseball... jeeze eh?

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.
