Builds COS80's 1997 LX 450 Build Thread (3 Viewers)

Tonight I sprayed the new primer, which went well.

Now for tonight's one liner in this comedy of f**king errors... the new can of 2k paint exploded out the activator button and emptied itself all over the place.

Almost done.

I got everything put back together today, except remounting the roof rack. Windshield reinstallation is scheduled for Monday. We got the rack off with two people, but it's going to take four to get it back on.

Today's fail is buffer burning the new paint on the a-pillar.

Here are my new cushions for the rear wing-thing. I used stainless rivnuts and plenty of sealant. You can also see here the matte/fine texture.

This is the insulation on the roof. Between this, the new, white roof, and full tint (inc. windshield), it'll be interesting to see what difference it makes in interior temps.

All done but the windshield. I really like how subtle it is now that the roof rack is hiding most of it. From the sun's perspective, it's all white, but not from a person's.
