The body work should be done by June then there's a few other things I need to finish before I build the engine. The target to fire is August/September but who knows.
The body shop is prepping for paint so they needed all the body parts. I stopped by yesterday to drop everything off and took some pictures:
The body is sealed inside and out.
The engine compartment needs a little more seam sealer before any color is sprayed.
I had them bang in one area of the passenger's side of the transmission tunnel. I didn't like how close the Defined Autoworks exhaust manifold was to the body. This won't be noticeable under the carpet.
The shop recommended was bedliner on the bottom of the car. It's thicker and heavier but is MUCH more durable than traditional rubberized coating.
I'm not having the interior painted so it'll stay the dark gray/black of the sealer. This won't be noticeable with the interior put back together.
It's hard to tell from this angle the fenders have been rolled and pulled 1 in. This looks much better than the roll/pull I did on the red car.
The colors is going to be Magma Orange, color code LD2C. It's the VW/Audi color used on the Fahrenheit edition Golf GTi's.
