I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

Finally finished the outside makeover! New side skirts, repair and repaint to the front and rear bnumpers, and some fresh paint on the lip.
My friend Isaiah and I pulled the car apart in sunny Kingman Arizona and went to work in the backyard garage.


Image

front bumper needed some massaging....had a big tear for over two years...hid it well with pics! :) here's the repair started in the front left corner. tin in the back with pop rivets.

Image

front lip getting prepped. tons of laquer thinner and 220 grit.

Image

some girl hit and ran on my car in the college parking lot about three years ago...again, never noticable in pics. sanded out the bad parts and over the spider cracks.

Image


shaved the front license plate holders while we were at it.

Image


and, here's the car together. Thanks to my friend's dad Scott who laid the paint for me, he's got skillz!
