GTU Project

[GTU_NUT]

As some know from Bstuff I have been working on restoring my GTU for the past couple months. ÂÂÂ

For me it has been a relatively slow process as I am currently in College which is about 130 miles from home.  But a couple weeks ago I finally got around to painting it, and last weekend I started putting it back together.  I am pretty excited about the progress and results thus far. ÂÂÂ

A small project summary for those that dont know.

I bought the car as my first car when I was fourteen.  After restoring it orginally, it had been a daily driver off and on ever since I got my license.  The car has been sitting lately, so I decided to tear into it and fix "a couple things."  Well after I started I really just didn't stop until everything body wise was taken care of. ÂÂÂ

I ended up sandblasting the entire inside floor pan and trunk area, and the complete bottom.  I also welded in new rocker panels (custom bent steel) and repaired all chips and a couple of small door dings on the body.  I also ended up pulling the back window to put a new rubber around it and get it retinted.

A load of pictures during the process can be found on my photobucket:

Every picture that shows a complete car is from before the "restore." ÂÂÂ

Well here are some pictures of the car as it sits today:







Let me know what you think

Painted already!  Dang you work quick.  I'm going to need some rocker and restoration treatment in the future lol.  I think I'm going to start saving up do I can pay you and your dad for some help with that .

Some very nice looking body work. I hope I can even come close when I paint the GT. I started doing some sanding and priming today,but I'm a long ways from your result! Looks GREAT dude!!

Thanks for the great comments guys.  The pictures are of a pretty low quality.  If it wasnt for my fundementals of engineering exam this coming weekend I would probalby have it all put back together.  Oh well

Anyways I'll update the post with some completed pictures in a couple of weeks.  

On a side note; Anyone know how to edit topic titles?  I apparently pasted a line in there that I didnt really want.  Any help with that and I would be very thankful.

I think you get a few days to edit and then thats it.   You might ask a moderator though, there's a list at the very top of the page.

Well it isnt really that big of a deal to me.  I tried doing it right away but couldnt figure anything out for it.

What do you want it to read? I can change it.

[SuzukiGhostRider]

Yea, I think the only way is by moderator. I've tried to edit topic titles 5 minutes after posting and couldn't. It's one of those things that needs to be updated here.

All set. The car is looking great!
