Nerd Racing's 94 Ford Aspire Work Log

[nerd racing]

they are the stock aspire panels just painted. the 626 stuff is just the steering wheel, air bag, column covers, and the multifunction switch.

If someday you get pulled over by the cops they will be very confused.

When running your plates "Please run the plates on a uuh, mmh, a Colt, nope, Subi, ahh..."

Nice project!

[nerd racing]

Updates:

Rear bumper went through some beast to beauty changes:



then



and this morning in filler primer:



Thing took forever to smooth out...

next project to finish before winter comes:









hopefully I'll have that done by tomorrow night, then i need to work on my side skirts, they will basically be cut to length 2000 Taurus rocker guards, and then I'm done with the car for the winter.

do you have a pic from farther back, so we can see how the mods work with the body lines? like from the corners so we can see the sides and front and rear.

[nerd racing]

I'll get some up for sure tomorrow, I just took the one because I was running a little behind on getting ready for work.

[Turpro]

Props for doing the work but I'm just not feelin that rear bumper. That's just me though.

[nerd racing]

Its cool man, the whole car isn't everyone's cup of tea as it its.

Some side views by request:

[Gforcefd]

Your going to need some sideskirts now to make the bumpers length mold more with the lines I think. Good work so far, not a huge fan of the bumper but maybe after the car is all painted one color I will change my mind.

I like how you fiberglassed the front bumper while it was on so you could match up the lines on the car better. I have to pull mine back apart and take another 1/2" out to be happy with it.

[gorgonheimer]

i really like the front bumper. the rear will have to grow on me. but im with logan, i think it will look much better when it is all one color.

[nerd racing]

I actually prefer two colors

Silver laid out:





and then to give it the bare plastic look:





It actually dried a lot better looking, much more dull of a black. I kind of rushed getting the paint on so its not perfect, but I am moving next week so it has to be done.

[therieldeal]

so about those rear quarter panels...

[nerd racing]

I know, and the rocker skins, oh and the rear unibody could use some patches after winter probably. Oh and my passenger door is beat to hell on the outside, and the drivers window rolls down crooked and doesn't like to go up. Lets not forget about the almost rusted off fuel door, that I do have a spare of though, and its even red too, I was thinking of grafting a round billet aluminum one in there from a newer dodge ram.

So far everything that I have done will unbolt and transfer over to another aspire. I am running out of time and space to do the metal work I may just look for another clean egg after winter is over, I'll have all winter to gather up my cash, and possibly turbonium components.

Love the front bumper, should of kept the stock rear bumper though. Cons about the new rear bumper is that you can have 2 license plates lol

[therieldeal]

you should look for one down south, or try to find a freak rust free new england car like mine LOL. original owner lived in upstate NY, he sold it to a guy in NH, who moved to ME, then sold it to me... 95 with 102k miles and no rust

[drewhall07]

lookin good man. wanna see more of those fog lamps in the bumper.
