here is a continuing build log of the changes of my 03 Protege5. started thinking at the end of 2009 about building my car for Speedsport 2010 in Moncton NB. Talking to a good friend of mine who has built many cars for this show we decided to go all out and do a build that not too many people in our car scenes would see( not a Honda, or j-body). so i started making phone calls and sending emails out to collect the parts needed to build this car the way i wanted...
here is the car before we started, looks good but the rear quarters were already done once for rust and rust was back...
March 03/2010
So the fun task of stripping the car and getting it ready for paint began..
once the car was all ready for a final sanding before primer and paint, it was time to line up my cf hood and get ready for the Aerocatch latches.
starting to cut into my new cf hood.. first ones that either of us have ever installed..
March 19/2010
After that was finished we cleaned up the shop to get ready for primer and more final blocking and sanding..
Car all primed and ready for color.. Then the painter went away to Florida for a mini vacation ( week) before the painting process happened, while he was away the guy that owns the shop we were renting decided that he wanted his shop back( had already been paid). i received a msg from him as to where i wanted my car towed, as it was going to be packed up with everything we have at the shop, and leaving the same day..
April 13th..10 days before the show deadline..
