Hey Everyone! [Edit 1, New Pics]

[Chris G]

Well, as some of you may remember, I posted an intro on here many moons ago...

So before i get to the updates, ill tell you a little about myself.

My name is Chris. I go to Holley High School, 10th grade. I am 15 years of age, and own a 1993 Mitsubishi Eclipse. 1st Gen owns the newer ones :lol:

I am currently working on my car, sanding and getting ready for primer.

Here is what my car started out like :

Here is what it looked like a week ago [Newer Pics tomorrow] :

As of now, I have painted some of the dash, and put in a new black carpet, along with some green cathodes. I know, many people think 'neon' is 'insta-rice'. I guess its just a thing ive been into since i was 13 :-?

So thats a little about me and some updates on my car. Hope you like!

Chris

Edit #1

Hey -

I got most of the body work done, now I'm just awaiting on primer. With school and everything, the project has majorly slowed down :(

Anyways, here are some new pictures.

The first thing is my taillights. No, I HATE altezzas, so i bought some spray tint, and tinted them black. I still have to paint the center picece still, but I have to wait for my car to be painted first, so i can use the same color....

Hmmm.... a new CF hood would look nice there...

Other than that - keep it going :mrgreen:

Looks like it's just a few more coats of bondo away from being a saturn! :lol:

j/p look good. Are you using filler on the urethane bumper, or is it something else?

WOW Chris....the interior looks really good man!! Great Job!

No filler is being used on the bumper. I took the D.A. and sanded it all down. Then I sanded the rest of it down by hand.

Trust me, if I had enough money to buy one, I would ;)


WOW Chris....the interior looks really good man!! Great Job!


Thanks! I also really like the way it turned out. After putting the carpet in, which took WAY too long, I didn't know how it was going to look. But it turned out nice in my eyes.


lookin good, keep it up

Thank you.

Chris

i cant belive your doing such a good job for being 15. keep it up :tup:

[blkgson19s]

good job :D

[russiantiny19]

looks good, is it just me, or are the tailights painted differently? and the seatcovers should go, u should get some that match ur scheme better

[birdman]

Looks good.

I dont have seat covers ;) They are the stock seats. I might get some new seats...later on.

Yes, the taillights are different. The driver side and center light are black in the middle, and the passenger side is green...All of them are tinted black..

Thanks to all who have replied!

damn looks good. i wish i had that much motivation when i was 15 :P that white interior really pops. if you get like black seats with white trim (or vise versa) it will really go well. IMO the white is a little too strong as of now, with nothing else to compliment it. but then again its your car and your taste so do what you want, and im not mocking you, cause i really admire your work, i'm just trying to help. but yeah, more white around the interior would help some. keep up the good work.
