Car being dimantled getting ready for Paint. 420a Turbo Talon

DSM Gets Dismantled for Paint , Eclipse / Talon


First off sorry for the Blurr in the lights. They are halogen and very bright. Here is the Turbo DSM getting naked for its big make over. At this point there have been two dents on the Hood Fixed, one on the driverside fender, two in the passenger side rear fender, two in the drivers side rear fender and a chip fixed on the rear bumper. Both doors had around ten dings that were smoothed over. The Front bumper was removed to sand and primer it. The front bumper has "spider cracks" This is where the bumper flexed and shattered the paint, this was due to an accident "hit and run" from jessies neighbor. Now and days flex additive is added to paint for bumper to reduce ( prevent) cracking for about 10 years.


This picture was takin about a week before the doors came off but its a good picture and went with the subject. The Dents were filled in the doors in this picture and then primered.


The 420a has seen alot of dust over the past two weeks in this shop. This is a diagnal shot after the hood was removed. The doors came off first however. I do like the new Bulbs I installed in the turn signals while the bumper was off. They are sorta clear bu when you pu power to them they are amber. Very cool. They come OEM on the 2007 Eclipse so I tried them out.



This is the area that was damaged I didnt even know about on the passenger side fender. The damage was very light however they filled in this low spot and primered it over. The door jams are being painted today from what I understand. the painter got behind on his side work and everything has been delayed a week which left me without a car. Using cabs suck but its better that walking.
