I knew I should've taken pictures.. it looked like surface rust.. but not sure since I didn't see the underside of it. Looks like the PO drilled 2 tiny holes in that area. Thanks ALOT A-HOLE!

Here's a even shittier picture with both ladies side by side after their bath. I absolutely love how the front air dam came out after I coated it with plasti-dip!

Thanks guys.

So after being annoyed with the yellow overspray all over the place I decided to do something about it.

Update time:

Since I was painting and everything was off on the front I decided to take an extra step and start removing both fenders so I can lessen the eyesore of the damage and rust.

On to the pictures..

Today I managed to do the passenger side.

After some brushing with the drill since the home electrical circuit can't handle my die grinder.

This is definitely not going to be a show car result since I have limited supplies but atleast the car will end up being all one color. lol

More to come tomorrow...

So she is finally on the ground once more... with a different look.
Not sure if I'm really diggin' this look yet but thought I'd try it out for a few.

This is what happens when you take wild animals from there natural habitat. I have to do something ASAP before this turns ugly(er).

Thanks. Plan for the shell is to swap everything over from the yellow one onto it. Before I can do that though, I plan to spray some rubberized undercoating underneath in order to protect it from rust. I'll probably paint the inside of it OD green also just cause. Unfortunately, everything has come to a screeching halt due to finances. Once that's taken care of, which I hope will be VERY soon, I will proceed. Until then, I'll just enjoy the yellow s30 while it lasts.
