After hours and hours of hard work - I believe my Lancer is ready to hit the road once again!
Heres a quick look at some of the problems I had to deal with. I also had to work on the interiors, center console, the trunk, etc. etc. etc. Whew! :)
Heres how she looks like right now - no more nasty scratches on the bumper. As you can see it is securely in place - the DIY clip repair worked!
The rear passenger door looks neat - the peeled paint is now a thing of the past.
Although theres still a little bump in the corner - the roof gutter looks a lot better.
Everything looks spick and span from where Im standing.
Buffed up the side mirrors as well - it looks brandnew right? :) The muffler also had a bit of TLC.
Oddly enough - my wife and my lancers share the same name - I named the car before I met my wife and shes been asking me to change the cars name for years!
Now that my lancer has a new lease in life (and I just got married to my wife) - I think its time to finally give in to my wifes request.
After many sleepless nights (hehe) - Ive finally decided to name her "Michie" (short for mitsIbishi hehe).
Now, I feel that both the wife and the car are happy! :) Yey!
As Ive mentioned in my earlier post - I tried to keep the costs on this project down (under 1,500 pesos) . Lets see how I did:
Wohoo! Since I had some of the materials on hand (the rubbing compound, some leftover paint/thinner, etc) - I was able to finish this project way below budget! It feels great to save money! :)
Well, projects like this never really end. As early as now - Im already thinking about replacing Michies horns, detailing her engine, DIY Oil change etc. Stay tuned for more DIY projects in the future! :)
YES! YOU CAN BREATHE NEW LIFE TO A TIRED OLD LANCER! :)
Thanks! :)
