Talon Tsi AWD Restoration (Part 3)

[mikhro]

Well, I haven posted in a while, so here are some minor updates...Im redoing my budget, so Im going backwards now, so I can re do a lot of things that originally were going to stay as-is

Picked up some EVO brakes from JOE at SBR, thanks Joe

Removed the whole rear end, so I can spray Undercoat on the whole car, and better inspect all areas of the body, to make sure this car looks and performs perfect.

Been busy wetsanding the body, hopefully somtime this week il start buffing the clear

I have been wet sanding the car prior to buffing the clear, so please bare with me

Torching the crap out of the rear subframe bushing....stay tuned for updates

I wish my paint was as good as yours was before the wet sanding!

Were you able to save those front sway bar endlinks? I had
to cut mine off because the nut would keep spinning with the screw even after I used the Allen wrench in the center of the bolt. Let me know how you did it if you saved them. Thanks

jjorck: The fronts?...I cut one off, but managed to save one......I really didnt care if they broke or not, since Im replacing them with all new parts

I def. agree! My buddy needs to change the rear bushings in his GSX, he keeps asking me for help but seems like way too much of a PITA haha.

 

[AutoMods]

paint looks gorgeous.

 

[spdtuned]

Excellent! Good Job!

 

[mikhro]

thanks everyone....what I did was let this type of clear dry for 3 months before wetsanding, I think that made a impact on the outcome, and I meticulously buffed the clear to perfection


and yes, changing these damn bushings are a major PITA
