The 92 2wd Explorer

[4.0B2]

Lol well... The spare 8.8 is in pieces right now. I needed the shafts for the one going in my b2.

The ex already has a ls 3.73. Would be nice to have a spare but... It'll be alright.

Even tho its my 21st birthday today. I did some work on the b2 and more sanding on the ex. Got most of it ready to shoot primer.

Explorer is missing a few sensors tho-- bc they are on the b2!!! Lol

its in its first stage of primer.. and wet sanded. gonna use a primer/sealer on it next since we were not happy with this primer...

hoping to shoot the paint next saturday at the shop. not gonna have a lot of free time till then.

honestly-- i don't even know what color it will be exactly??? lol. something close to stock is all i know lol

oh, and still aint found that dang trim work. and mom wants the trim on it... or i'll just paint a black stripe there! lol

Safe to say that you are doing more body work then I would do to my truck.




I still say SAS her but thats just me

If I'm taking the time to paint it-- I want it SMOOTH! there was only about 5 dents; all small that needed bondo. Not bad for a 92 that's never been painted before.

so, dad sprayed the paint and clear this morning. i had to work so i had nothing to do w/ the paint job, but i was tired of the thing being in just primer, SO.... i was okay w/ it. i aint seen it yet. going to pick it up in the morning. gonna get pics and post them up don't worry lol. i also gotta try to get to cleaning the bumpers up good, buff wax so on, tomorrow to have them all shiny when i get them on. but for now, its bedtime..

more to come, once i get the lights and everything back on. gonna do all the black back black, and polish out all the chrome.

Looks like you got "Stuff" in the paint on the front fender, also are you going to wet sand and buff out the orange peel ???

dang you are picky! lol. yeah, it's getting wet sanded and buffed out soon, like i said in the my b2 thread, its a semi paint booth, they want cheap paint jobs, so its not kept up to date like it should be. but, it looks A LOT better than it did. don't worry its not finished yet

after i finish doing all the black and trim stuff and buffing the bumpers and other chrome, i will wet sand and buff it out. i still have to buff out the Taurus sho to.

Oh don't worry you should see the amount of dirt we get in our paintjobs at work. Thats what buffing is for. Looks good.

working on the black stuff now.

hell , it looks better than the door i did for my explorer , i did mine in the yard , and i have never sprayed paint before so i bought a $65 Wal-Mart HVLP kit and a pint of the factory color (plus i got reducer , i may be unlearned in the ways of paint , but i know people that know stuff) and i went to town , then a quart of clear and went to town , needless to say it came out looking better than the door on the truck , but you can tell a first timer painted it hahaha
