your car = your choice I guess...

I was just thinking it would be more practical to put in a carbed 1.6 setup instead of rebuilding your stock setup.

Best of luck on your car

yea um, i would say slap a coat of paint on that beast... sanding came out good.

[MTec007]

OOOK! I started coat #1 today and ran out of paint.. and so did walmart! so I'll have to wait grr! but here is how it sits right now, some are before, during and after shots so use your imagination to make that guess. Ever heard of writers cramp? I have Spray Painters finger and thumb! I love my camera phone.

Ran out of paint here:

did this because the panel is due to be replaced any way.














all in all i need a second coat for sure but i am happy with the results.

They make spray handles that just pop onto the cans and you spray it like a "real" spray gun....only cost a few bucks

I found the holes that were bondo'ed over, for the festiva and ford badges on the hatch, but my question is how are they secured? the holes are way too big for the badge pegs.

All I can say is, 1 gallon of TSC tractor paint, and walmart foam rollers.
Also, I noticed your plate, I lived in Marion County too.

[MTec007]

well i had thought about rolling it but thats a PITA.
btw its not Marion county, its Macon

double sided tape. The pins are only for location/alignment.

[MTec007]

there wasnt any double sided tape on the badges i pull off JY cars.

I don't know if those are the correct size! I was only linking to that page to show you what they looked like.
