and here a few pics of the process as I lost many pictures on a phone I lost a while back, anyways enjoy...

feedback >positive/negative welcomed

so after being painted it sat for over 2 and a half years as I got married and got blessed with a kid of my own lol important stuff been keeping me from really putting in work on this but this past three months have been of endless nights as im picky and nothing gets done if it aint done right...

this is how it sat




this is the main reason the car sat for so long as i got discouraged




so i decided to fix this... NO BONDO!!!!!





and off course the JDM rad support looked like it been on and of many different cars...


so it ended up looking like this lmao




but I really disliked the idea of having a rad support all hacked up... so i hacked it even more...


decided to take a usdm rad support and make me a nice jdm rad support


only then i managed to get the body lines lined up as close as OEM



got everything lined up to start the welding process...



these were also added as they did not have them when i got this...


some seam sealer to seal the weld areas




then the whole underbody got a POR-15 treatment to ensure rust stays away from my baby





then undercoating to top it off and some suspension components

 

[d@_b3st]

so I needed the brake lines done and was thinking bout doing a brake tuck BUT didn't like the idea of having brake lines inside the car so i just relocated prop valve lower on the firewall and fabricated the brake lines out of copper lines (once again to ensure rust doesn't fuck with my lil project)





then the engine bay started getting ready for spraying




yeah took advantage of the downtime and shaved most of the necessary holes...


primered...



then my man Omy showed up and offered himself to sprayed the bay for me!! good looks bro!!




nice and shinny





so it was time to start putting everything back together





mind the dust on everything...(my boy decided to do his bodywork as I put my shit back together...


the power plant...




swap in...


cleaned and polished the headers...


interior getting there as well


front end finally on and ready to go...

 

[d@_b3st]

yes I'm keeping the A/C


this deff needs a buff which will be done as soon as the windows are put back on


asr brace and 22mm itr sway bar on along with the complete greddy exhaust system


as it sat on jack stands


dropped the car bleed the clutch and cooling systems and voila she moves lol a few more shots as i sprayed the bay with water(not clean enough for my taste yet but) and tried out the lsd...







suspension is stiff enough







some interior and random shots






buffing & polishing







been really busy with family lately but took a few minutes to buff the driver side fender and well this is very annoying... check it out









engine bay as it sits right now...


lmk what ya think
updates will follow as they come, thanks for ya time CI

Man you've done some great work. It's cool to see something come together like this.

 

[Nick_C78]

Looks good, sir! Glad to see a car done right and not the hack jobs I always see driving around. Lots of time and money have gone in to this baby it seems. Keep it up. Mine is too much of a rugged track slut for me to do this to sadly.
