Another weekend, more time to mess with the car. I grabbed some cans of krylon satin black rattle paint from wally world for my bumpers. Also grabbed some rustoleum grill paint, intended for my turbo housing...but I found out I got the wrong stuff. So that'll be used on my nissens endtanks and under the hood trim peices instead.

I was kinda nervous about the rattle can paint, but I've seen good turnouts from others, so i cleaned both bumpers very well with car wash soap, and then degreaser. I used less than 2 big cans on both bumpers. I think they turned out well.
I went ahead and did the grill also.

It seems that a PO painted the bumper before...and left overspray from poorly taped areas. Ill try to touch it up with some mineral spirits soon.

I have been porting out my straight housing after work for the last week and am almost done. Its substantially larger where the turbo meets the manifold. Also ill finish opening up where the dp bolts to, as im hoping to get a vband welded on. I touched the wastegate hole some, but not much. Imma try to open it a hair more for good measure.

Junkyard trip this morning, found another NA 940...but this was a wagon, with third row seating! And in the color I will switch my interior to soon enough! Cracked Leather sucks.
