man looks great

 

This is some Stacy David stuff. Right on..right on.. Keep the pics coming!

 

Sub'd, this is freakin sweet. Great work OP!

 

Thanks a lot bro and I'm flattered that you compare my work to David's work!! I only wish lol!!

Anyways there are no updates today because I didn't go
To work today... I was seeing my orthopedist to see the results of
The MRI I had done a week ago... Anyways, been doing some thinking on what black to use on the car and I think I'm going pearl black...
What do you guys think?

 

Thank you guys with for all the great comments!! Hopefully tomorrow I'll finish welding everything and and put the re bar in the back and all
The sensor in the back so I can get rid of the dreadful cel light.

As usual I'll Keep
You guys posted.

 

All right I worked all day prepping, welding and making everything look good, mounted the bases for the rebar and also the bar, fixed the rust on my new fender and welded a patch plus I worked in a little side project, was giving my boss a hand with a nissan Altima that the guy he asked to do the job made a mess and well I had to fix it.

Here are the Picts.

Finished welding...







Traction control off!!





Rust neutralizer for the affected fender area.





And... More welding -.-"





And semi finished product... Now have to grind off the welds and make it look pretty.



I filled the rust holes with welding because that's what I like to do, it gives the surface strength and it's a much more better job than just putting a whole lot of bondo... Now it only requires a little bit and is very firm.

In between the fender and the patch I used the rust neutralizer to stop any more rust from developing in that area so we won't have that issue again.


And...More traction control off!!







And here's the side project... I did square everything off but didn't take any pictures, tomorrow I'll upload them.

 

Nice work man I love seeing a progress thread with steady progress.

 

Thanks!! I do my best to keep the thread up to date with Picts.

Hopefully by the end of the week the car should go in to paint and after that it's gonna be audio time!!! 😁

 

Ok it's time for another update... Been away for a few days taking care of some family drama but I'm back. And on to the Picts.

Started making all the welds nice and covering them up.









After that a nice coat of undercoating and...





IMO it looks pretty good..

After that's I put the re bar, foam inserts and put the bumper for the last time, it's really just staying there now.







Couldn't resist!! Had to turn the lights on!!





And now for another update that was not originally included in my build/rebuild sheet... The camber links in the back where bent so I had to buy new ones and I thought if im buying new ones why not make them adjustable??? I bought a complete set of cheap emusa camber links it costed 165 for the front and back. I'm not expecting a lot out of them but hopefully they'll hold and the look very sturdy so let's see.





Packaging was pretty decent so no complaints there.













Installation of the back went without a problem. Kinda surprised lol!!









So I only did one corner which was the one that was really bent out of shape, I'm buying on some eibach pro kit springs from a friend for cheap and well once I get them I'll do the other 3 corners but for the meantime it's driveable again.

Now I need you opinion guys. I've set my sights on these rims.. What do you guys think??

Xxr 526 19x9 front and 19x10 back



I'm still thinking about it and maybe going up to 20's but don't know please shed some light I really need to make a decision on this pretry quick!

And I originally wanted the g37s 19" oem wheels but around me they are asking 1500+ for them and since this is a cheap build well Xxr wheels are 780 shipped.

 

u will have to go 20s in that design to look good and a pretty low drop

 

He'll I don't want that... I might just get some ray forged 19 or the g37s 19 rims.. Dunno yet... Anyways uploading new Picts, new update in a few.

 

Yeah, I think jerseytaylor has the rays for sale for a good price on here. Can't really go wrong with those.

 

Started doing detail work and bondo.









My face when sanding and listening to music.



More bondo/sanding.

















That's all for today couldn't put too much time into her because of something more
Important coming up and I'm currently waiting on my springs to finish the camber links and all.

Well I'll keep u guys updated

 

Well not much of an update but this is what I've done so far.

Started the audio since I'm trying to get the car back together inside.













Put the fender that I fixed the other day.











I got my eibachs suspension in the mail today And also finished installing the camber kit.




















And that's how it sits now... I couldn't move the car to give it a chance for the springs to settle but hey tomorrow is another day... Anyways I'll keep you guys updated.

 

Not sure if anyone is following the thread anymore
But happy holidays to everybody and here is today's update.

Hello camber and drop!















Ok so we started the process to apply primer and get the car ready for paint.











And the car is so dirty!! like omfg!





That's today's progress, didn't have enough time to dedicate to the car I only had 2 hours so I guess it's ok. I'll keep you guys updated and again happy holidays!!
