Well I'm definitely antsy. The engine went 2 weeks after I bought the car so it's basically been down the whole time I've owned it. So i really want this thing done and tuned by the time it's nice out if it's possible. Also i need to get the engine broken in cause I think I have to find a new place to keep the car for now and I need it to be mobile if I have to move it :-\

I honestly would be in the same boat. No salt is gonna stop me from being impatient and nothing a car wash couldn't clean up. Let me know when it goes on the rollers I definitely want to be there!

Re: my new project
Well the roll cage was starting to rust so I got the bright idea of cleaning it up and painting it. This is a major pain in the ass lol. Hopefully it turns out okay

Lol yes color! and thanks! We got a decent base coat down. The primer went on fine but we're having some issues with the color cracking. Not sure if we didn't let the primer dry long enough, the garage wasn't warm enough, old paint, idk lol. I'm debating posting the pic I have of it now or just waiting until I have it finished.

Re: my new project
Well we are having some issues with the color I have chosen for the cage. It is cracking in quite a few places and pretty deep too. .

Maybe a weird reaction between the primer and the color idk. I really think it was just too cold. Tomorrow we are going to crank the heater up and and try and get the cracks to filled in and smooth out. Hopefully we can save it and make it look good. I really don't want to have to strip it down and start over

I'll post pics when I get a chance

Re: my new project
Well the cage is done. The cracks filled in pretty good. I love it! Lol im sure some of you will like it some of you will give me shit about it. Either way I'm happy with it. Now it just needs to warm up so I can put some miles on it

Re: my new project
I just remember what the Welsh cage builder told me when I asked about the idea of a red roll cage in my stage rally car...

(read in a thick Irish accent)

"Red? RED??? Aww noooo Maan. You'll look like a couple of gay boys racing around with a fooking red cage... you can't to red."

His wisdom stuck with me

Lol well good thing this isn't a rally car. personally red would have been my second choice to go with the car haha. Then black. But this car is kind of ridiculous so I figured a ridiculous color was in order
