My 2012 Build Thread

So a couple of guys have been curious with what ive been upto, so i decided to make a thread to keep you guys updated with my stupidity. Im not going to bore you guys by starting from the beginning of my build so ill just keep you update from nowish.

For some of you guys not to familiar with my g, heres what it looked like as of last summer.



My Main project thats been keeping me busy over the last couple of months has been the engine bay. Been putting in an hour or two when i can but now with uni over ive been pushing to finish it. Shoutouts to marcus, randy, marty, sean, and bahram for the help!


working on the wire tuck

wire tuck done!

heres some pics i took of some polished and chromed pieces going in the bay


Heres what the engine bay looks like as of yesterday. Just need to put the power steering back in and some of the hoses.


Interior wise the badboys below are waiting to be installed. They have been sitting in my basement since November lol. Im waiting on the personal steering wheel to arrive also


For the suspension i just finished installing front a-arm tonight since ill be going abit lower and adding abit of camber. Ill be adding a 10mm spacer upfront also to help clear a little something somethin Ill post pics once thoose are ready.

Heading to buffalo tom to pick up a couple parts, will keep you guys posted. Any feedback and constructive criticism is always welcome, Enjoyy

Nicely done!

Any ideas on how long the blue engine paint will last. As in, will it last your ownership or.
