It's been a while since I last posted pics of the Gob, which has been in the body shop recently getting some work done and re-painted.

Here are before and after shots of the changes, along with some pics I forgot to post before I dropped off the Legend...

Work Done

Before: (body tap)

After: (weld & paint)

Before: (Old leather, rips in seat)

After: (Katzkin leather replacement)

Before: (Emblems)

After: (Shaved, painted)

Coming Soon: 95' L E G E N D EMBLEM (Joey's Pic)

Pics I forgot to post

Joe & Joey helped me remove my bumper to inspect and install the USDM headlights

(My body shop broke one HID bulb, paid me for it, and a high-end set is on the way sooo...JDMs will be back on soon.:

USDMs

Monochrome

lol @ the teaser pic, your kidding me right?, btw pretty car

EarlThePearl · 03-26-08, 08:14 PM

The Gobstopper is coming along quite nicely. I'm sure when you are finished she will be even better than before. Can i use your foam emblem template when you are finished? I need it for a project that i would like to do my Coupe. I can't wait to see the finished product!!!

chapman89 · 03-26-08, 08:58 PM

Your car is beautiful man, keep it up!

KEYZER SOZE · 03-26-08, 09:09 PM

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Smokinfastlegend · 03-26-08, 09:13 PM

Man your pics just exemplify the perfect cant' green legend.

BTW: the emblems and template are mine, but seeing how there is alot of interest i might be willing to make a couple copies.

Cranberry_Legend · 03-26-08, 09:17 PM

samblaze · 03-26-08, 10:30 PM
