thanks, can't wait to be done with the painting..

Scuffing everything with the 80 grit as a last step. NO SHINY METAL!




got most of what I can with the DA sander.. gonna have to switch to the manual method to get the small nooks and crannies.

Hopefully primered on friday and raptor liner on saturday.

OH LOOK, MORE FUCKING SANDING!

Made some square holes to take a break and keep me sane.


Cut the rear bumper tab so I can run some fancy wheels later without rubbing on stuff. I'll roll them after they get epoxy coated so they don't get missed.



scuffed the entire belly, front and rear wells on the passenger side.
Probably another 2-3 hours of scuffing and then I can pressure wash it for the final time before paint. Should be masking saturday morning, prime saturday afternoon and raptor coat sunday.

thanks, I hope I cut enough off of the rear fenders.. would hate to have to do it again after I epoxy coat everything.

Finally finished sanding and scuffing!
gave her a pressure wash (inside too) so I won't have to work so hard to get it cleaned up later.

Epoxy coat tomorrow, raptor liner on sunday!

Thanks guys! yeah it was definitely worth the trouble - hella happy how it turned out.
while the liner cures a little bit I'm getting back the things that are more my speed.

Re-pinned the fuel pump harness to match the WRX tank. Soldered the secondary sender line in series (thanks BRZCory)
Found out it came with a walBRO pump so I'll use that instead of my Sti pump.





Also drilled out the center vent thing. I butchered it cuz i thought the flap was just hanging and I would break it away clean, WRONG. looks like I even damaged a secondary thing just past the larger inlet.

Since its all disabled and plugged anyway probably shouldn't matter but.. oh well.
