you selling anything from the zenki front?

i might want the fenders.

 

nah hopefully that'll be soon though. Sad part is in new jersey if your car looks like a f**k up your suspicious. So thats why im doing all body and paint work first.

 

Sorry no parts for sale yet.

 

Well after about a week with a white front end i really wanted to fix the rear and get it painted. But after enough thinking i said f**k it and spray painted it so yeah this is what happened with that. It looks good at night...that's all im gonna say...it actually looks all one color white. During the day it looks like the spray is a high white and the stock color is like a creme color white...and....begin.

started with my badly rusted hatch sanded most of it down to bare metal and through the rust


This was a literal hole. Well over due after all the recent rain in New Jersey..
With bondo all done i started some sanding...i need a sander...and yeah that's a gangster bandana...
Put on some primer and started with white paint and it came out...newspaper is my friend.. alright
And the rest of the car...
And obvious color differenceAnd...the day


Oh yeah...sleepy eyes is so 240ish...how cliche
And what i see while im driving after changing the steering wheel
And took these about an hour ago
Gotta love my girlfriend..haha...i yelled at her for sitting on my car...but couldnt resist taking a picture and if you look at my rear quater you can see the body damage...rear over fenders couldnt be here sooner
Her trying to race me in her 98' jetta on the parkway..i had to slow down to take this picture so she could say she was winning
Also changed bulbs to "hyper white"

And to think the process so far...well anyway over the weekend my fuel pump went out at the pool hall so i was a little upset but that's 90 bucks ill never get back...as well looking into another apartment soon so it'll be rough but next is coming the rear over fenders the 30mm ones and hopefully body work and REAL paint...

 

Looks clean man.

 

I'll have to deal with rust soon as well....... not really looking forward to it ....

 

Im not gonna lie i dont have the cover under my hatch on the inside but when you look up theres cardboard for a pepsi box with bondo on it so my hatch was f***ed long before that. Hopefully it'll be changed to fiberglass along with the doors and hood. Mad dough for that though

 

love the gangster bandana

 

good work....yea bandanna +2 lol

 

are the fenders and hood from a pignose different from newer models?

 

Nah because i have a 90 with a 93 front end. It was all a direct fit i was skeptical of the front bumper support but it was fine.

 

Well you apparently can never be too safe so i had my cousin install a viper alarm system remote start and power locks and such for 100 bucks so it was a good deal. Took about an hour so during that i cleaned out my car and found a lot of things i didnt even know were in there. As well zip tied some loose under carriage harness parts added a new ground and messed a little with my engine bay. Ill add pictures of it later but i enjoy the remote start. It car laziness at it's best.

 

as far as looks, the pignose is different, but they bolt up perfectly otherwise. i'm wanting to convert to the newer look and get rid of my pignose if anyone is interested.../me points up a few posts

 

So im looking for some opinions on some parts if anyone can help. Im not looking for the "do your research" type answers...i just want some opinions if you used it or heard any defaults..

First i need a new tie rod since mines bent pretty bad on one side..Now i was thinking the tokico tie rod and ends set. It's about 89.99 for the pair. I dont know if they would really make a difference...it either that or ill have to buy a whole new rack.

Next i need some rear over fenders. Now they have them on ebay for like 250 after shipping and origin has them for 100 more. Since its a body part would it really make a difference, as well for anyone who has them what's your opinion on how they make the car look afterwards.

As well im want to start looking into suspension soon. Now i dont use the car at the track yet so right now it's a daily driver and i want a suspension set up for mild track use..either time attack or drifting type use. Any opinions on decent suspension upgrades? Maybe a whole new coilover suspension or just new springs. Mine now are pretty stiff for a 90 its not bouncy so im just looking for some feedback here.

Other then that no new updates yet but i do have a question and it may sound stupid but cant really find an answer. On the 91-94 front bumper those two black vent like things under the marker lights...what were they for? Ive seen people have them used for foglights and maybe came like that from the factory but i doubt it unless a canadian one? Im not sure but yeah feedback helps...thanks guys so far for any help you people gave me.

 

i had the origin 50mm over fender. i needed them because both my quarters were crushed pretty bad. but honstly if it wasnt for that i would have not used them.
