project ghetto

[mazdatuner]

first off i do not suggest anyone try this on their car unless they want a ghetto ass job done....my fault is im the most impatient person ever so the results show the effort....first I reapulstered the headliner...not too shabby....then i got some krylon fusion for plastic paint and tried to cover up that ugly tan interior.......and whalah! Then I got what i thought was bronze paint ang got them rims done turns out its more of a gold so they might go back to silver......and here are a few pics of mah engineswap i did it last week

[THEGOLDPRO]

lol yeah those rims are hidious!, lol what was wrong with the mazda bp?

[the_slow_pro]

if your pro is an Lx, why swap a scort GT motor in? its the same engine.....and did you just paint the whole ****ing brake assembly? caliper and rotar and everything? your a moron, time for new brake pads.

[Mazda96Protege]

lol i was about to say the same thing about him painting the brake assembly.......shoulda took off the whole wheel then painted it dude

[mazdatuner]

the key from the crank to the timing cogg broke off on the old engine plus the valves were bent.....what wrong with the break assy the first time i stop i will wear that **** off...pluss yea the color is so ugly

[Chad]

i think the alloys look kinda good

[Mazda96Protege]

dont look to bad but yeh the color is crazy lol, did you buy the actual bronze wheel paint? or was it just close to that color? mcorkle did it and his didint come out that gold


watch out in the meantime dude your **** might get jacked cuz people will think your **** is lik PURE GOLD lol (that did happend to my buddie he painted his old car red with hella gold wheels.....parked it out in the middle of what we call down here the ghetto, next day car was on jacks lol)

[mazdatuner]

i just got some .98 cent spray paint cuz im poor like that...... i dident totally **** up my break assy though did i cause im probably paintin em back to alloy tomarrow.....dont they make caliper paint that is just basically high temp spray paint im confused on what it would **** up

[Mazda96Protege]

just spray emm again when you re-paint them......

[D323]

no offense but how did you bend your valves? They probably werent bent being a non-interference motor and all.

oh and good job on the headliner. Looks good.

[mazdatuner]

Not 100% sure they were bent thats just what i was told by a friend cause they clacked all the time and i was burning oil like crazy even after the head gasket was replaced.

[[JaNuS]]

can you please do a step by step how you replaced your headliner? thanks.

I read this to take the headliner off...once out i stripped the old liner off ....(you can buy actuall headliner material from a fabric store 2 yards is enough) once you have that spray the imediate area thourouly with 90 rated high heat spayon adhesive and starting at one end lay the headliner fabric over the headliner frame i also used a rolling pin ti smooth out the liner and give an even distribution once done use a razor blade and cut around the frame leaving about 3/4 of an inch of fabric overhang then flip the frame over and spray the fabric sticking out curl it over carefully and stick it to the underside of the frame i also sued clamps to secure it while it dried then put it back in the same way you took it out ......I highly recomend taking the front seats out first i ddent and it made it very dificult to get the headliner in and out in one piece
