The process isn't fun, the process is damn dirty, and sure as hell isn't pretty... but taking baby steps here and at least my door gap is all closed up.
The Passenger fender should be done as far as fiber glass, I will let my brother do the finishing trimming and body filler work. I can do it myself, but will take me 10 times longer and come out nowhere near his quality. Now i just need to knock out the other fender and get them preped for paint.
Though I still haven't figured out how I want the fender arch to bumper to look like yet... I'll need at least a 1/2", maybe 3/4" gap from bumper to fenders for clearance so I guess i'll start trimming a little at a time and see what it looks like.
While waiting for the fiberglass to dry, I decided to do a transmission fluid change/flush. Figured it wouldn't take me more than 30 minutes with all the stuff apart and having a dipstick hole for filling. Boy did I ever F**K it up.. 3 hours later I am done cleaning everything up and have the car running healthy again... long story short, in my fiberglass dust high I, like the idiot that I am, pulled the dipstick to the engine oil instead of the transmission. 6 quarts later I realized the idiot that I am. 3 hours later I am finally done flushing my engine oil completely, and the transmission is topped of. Apparently I miscalculated and overfilled it at first, which resulted in almost no acceleration/torque whatsoever. I guess the torque converter doesn't like it when its drowning in fluid. I had never imagined myself doing something so idiotic, but here I am. Never say never
