The Lancer Project a debt long overdue

After doing major restoration works on Voxy and Max - she just has to be next - after all she is my first and most roadworthy car. :) She runs like a gem but looks tired and worn out :( Its time to stop ignoring her flaws and get my hands dirty once again :) Ive promised her numerous times that Ill fix her up as long as she doesnt give me headaches. Time to honor my end of the bargain.

Let me show you some of the major problems ill be dealing with.

1. Broken bumper clips and mountings - having a semi lowered ride definitely has its cons - got to be more mindful of those humps and potholes.

 

2. Nicks and scratches on the bumper - who did this?!?

3. cracked fiberglass skirts - I refuse to let go of these - one day ill go back to all stock (with mudguards and all) but not today - got to fix these!

4. Peeled paint - I used to touch this up with rattle can paint just to hide it - but now that it has worsened - time to deal with this once and for all. 

5. Wrath of nature - brought to us by one of the stronger typhoons - neighbors roof + strong winds + parked car = nightmare! Good thing the damage was not that bad.

In the following days/weeks - Ill share how I was able to deal with all of these (and more) while I was under a strict budget (Restoring a volkswagen and planning a wedding can somewhat be expensive -  burned a hole right through my pockets hehe).

Stay tuned! :)

P.S. Any suggestions for a cool name for her? :) Wifes nickname and the cars name is the same - need to change it now that were married.
