Unflattering Picture Post

During a recent conversation, it came up that things look easy for all the Dream Teams cars. For instance, a complete turbo install that took over two weeks for one member only gets "Oh cool, it's red" since so much is powder coated. No one notices that the entire engine has been rearranged, so to speak.

It's not because it wasn't a challenging experience, or cheap experience. In fact, all this team does on all the cars is rather expensive and stretches our problem solving skills. But what it comes down to is that no one sees the in between, the hard times. It's the start, and the end that people see. So, in honour of my team, who works so hard, I decided to post a few of the most unflattering pictures so far.

Enjoy!

The hood wouldn't close after installation of the tower strut bar. We had to cut a notch in the hood to make it fit.

Imagine cleaning this up!

This is how nasty the bondo looked prior to sanding for the sound install. Lots of sanding... lots of sanding... lots of sanding...

This was the start of the caliper paint/wheel well phase. So, this is completely OEM and not very flattering in appearance.

Last February, the car was without a center console for a bit...

Of course, this is the trunkless sound install pic
