Those air driven orbital sanders are a pain in the ***. They work well, but I hate it when you don't have the angle just right and they take off on you. I'm impressed that you're using a dust mask. What's with the rubber bands on the wrist?

Nice work. Be patient.

i dunno i just wear them for the hell of it
well since im not gonna be driving for the next 10 years, i guess its gonna get done fast

yea im using a DA and a electric power sander and the DA is nothing compared to the other one...
i am being about as careful as i can right now cuz this is where i could really screw up the paint by scratching the metal

I saw that too. Is it running or does it suffer from the normal overheating and electrical problems that most Jags do?

Nice job B. I just ordered a 99 fascia, kaminari spoiler and JDM tails today so now it's time to save for a good paint job. I don't know what I'm going to do with my stock spoiler, as it's pretty beat up where the sticker was. Well, keep up the good work man.

Dude NIce. U know how to work your sander. that's a +. I was going to do my own but I don;t wanna mmes with the paint. I'll keep the mechanical and I'll leave the paint for the pros. My car is eithergoing to be that stock "Super Black" or the stock "Pearl White" Mine is gonna be a JDM Sleeper. I'm doing afull JDM convertion "bodywise" but my motor is going to be a whole nother story.

Grinding is fun isn't it. Working on my car and pulling dents are a pita. Luckily I'm in a class right now that's helping me learn it. It's lookin' good. Can't wait to see the finished product :burnout:

LOL Yeah I wish I can say the same. I have done body work in my car. but what can I say I'm not patient enough for all the sanding and stuff. I'm prettypatient with all the mechanics though. so that's what I'm sying I'll leave thepaint to the pro's. I'm pretty sure I can sanddingout and primer my car too but ehh. too much body work not too interesting as ripping my engine appart
