Chino's Swap/Progression Thread, My journey Options

[Chinosan89]

Hey all its been awhile since I posted anything about my car. To start from the beginning as a recap. I bought a 94 GT and decided I was going to do a motor swap. After a couple months I sourced out a clip in Canada and had it shipped to me. Spent a little extra time pulling the motor and making sure everything was clean and perfect before I threw it on to the GT. Spent a couple months on the GT (prepping it for the swap) and all of a sudden I get into a collision. Luckily the motor had not been swapped yet, but the GT was totaled. The sad part was, was that I bought it with the ST205 hood and bumper on it, so there goes about $1000 bucks ish in JDM parts. So later I bought a Celica that already had an ST215 motor in it. Car was a rocket, it was awesome and felt so nice. However I still had the ST205 motor sitting in my garage and I wasn't satisfied with that. So after 8 months of owning the ST215, I sold it to a close friend who gave me what I paid for the car plus his Celica ST (AT200) as a donor car. And that my friends is where the story starts. Sorry for the long and boring intro.

Primed! Now it was my first time with a gun so it was terrible haha. The setting on the gun was awful, there was a ton of overspray EVERYWHERE. By the time I was done, the primer was so rough it felt like sand paper haha. I think I had too much air and not enough primer going out or vise versa, I don't remember. But all i know is, I had to resand the entire car to make sure the base coat layer on smooth haha such a noob.





Hood was already primed so I just masked it with some plastic
