Weak!DC's omg its a girls car//candy pink integra build thread!
Starting this thread for my girlfriend because she's a trial user and can't yet.. this will be a full build of her bone stock 1995 integra special edition from start to finish.
Plans for the car are a full re-spray candy pink, with all the normal goodies and to do the engine bay for now.
A few pics to start the thread:
Day 1- Strip the car down (minus dash/door panel so you can still drive) and start removing the sound deading tar.
we will be using dry ice to finish the rest of the tar tomorrow evening.. we both have really busy schedules but this car is on a tight time line and tons of parts have been ordered. will try to keep it as up to date as possible
enjoy!.. and all comments/hating are welcome.

how did the dry ice work? i used a heat gun and it took for ever on my ej8. but i like the idea to spray it pink.

We didnt use any dry ice on the rear section, Weak!EG hit it with a mud knife jokingly before we went to buy it and it chipped off in a huge chunk.. took about 35 mins to do the rear 3 pieces with just a mud knife and a hammer.. We will be using dry ice on the flat areas in the front floor board though. It works wonders. Makes it super easy.

good luck with the build to both of you. only suggestion is to paint the car white and do pink accents. an all pink candy car might look black. just saying lol

I predict that 9 out of 10 people posting anything in this thread are gonna be leg humpers. Good luck with the build.
