That is not bad at all,if the structure is good your golden.If you dont want the car there are plenty of guys up north here that are used to actual rust and would like the car.

drooling...man that thing is sweet,looks like a cross between a skyline and an rx8 or something.

I dont know??..in the pictures i am definately seeing a really ugly car with a WRX lisence plate.

Lol

I hit ludicrous speed and then it all went plaid.

Yes bmw v12 indeed,i think someone here has done that hav'nt they?

ROFL!!! i mean sorry. Yea i've definately learned my lesson with harbor freight junk.I would say that you are somewhat lucky though,the past two things i bought from them didnt work at all.

http://forums.hybridz.org/showthread.php?t=117977 Heres my personal vg30dett project if you havnt seen.

Well i did some work lately on my body and have some pics to prove it.I completed the driver side of the metal work and started doing some of the fun stuff.I decided to use a foam core of sandable foam to make my door flares to blend in with my newly widened quarters.Basically layered 4 pieces of foam with adhesive cut the block to conform with the door,glued it on and then started trimming and sanding until it was close enough to glass over.Now it is just a matter of body filler and a lot of sanding.I was initially worried about the door handle but now i really like the cutout in the flare to accomidate it.Keep in mind this is just the first few stages and things will get a little more detailed as time goes on,i also havnt started with the rocker panel yet which is going to follow about the same contour and taper towards the front,should be easy enough for you all to visualize.Now i cant wait to get 5 lug hubs and new huge wheels to see how its really going to look,man i love body work:biggrin: ..enjoy

I have a painless that i havnt used yet but it looks very easy,all wires labeled and all that.The quality of the fuse box itself as well as its connections and the parts included in the kit are not too impressive but overall seems ok

Can i have it?

Dont worry everything is getting welded up tight.BTW ill have some new progress pics up soon.

Second that vote,find another shop!!!

How does that plastic relay box not melt,its like 2 inches from that huge turbine housing.

This is a very good write up,quite impressed,and being the small vendor mentioned in the ending this information hits home.Its good for anyone thinking of doing these modifications to read up on it and realize these things are not meant for bling factor and there is much risk involved.I havnt completely made good with myself on the fact i am selling certain parts without any long term durability testing,but at this point i have come to the conclusion that i really cant come up with anything better that will be even reasonable weight and dimension wise.Fortunately i have faith(and for good reason) in my welding and that inspires much confidence as that is where most stress will be going in my parts.Aside from that its just up to the materials that i am not in control of making to hold up,heim joints,threads and whatnot.I know that my defense here may be off topic but just had to say something.Unfortunately my primary income for quite some time has been the z car market...and no its not exactly the buisness to be in lol,so a good idea for me is very hard to hold off on.Soon i will be in the market for a "real job" and this current income will be primarily for my project funding as well as supporting this site:mrgreen: .Also i want it known that i have not tried to swindle anyone and i do like to share any truths about my parts to potential buyers,including info posted on this site.I must say im very glad to see this information being posted,wont be long before everything is covered on this site:D

This is funny.......http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2683135400295297703&q=turbo+2+stroke&hl=en

Thats weird,looks like a watercolor painting,and yes on the black

Go here,great site in general but they sell the 5 lug conversion,if you dont want custom made stuff. http://www.modern-motorsports.com/catalog/default.php

Now if only someone could do this write up for vg30dett...

I agree,i actually just got some of my parts from the coater today.Looks pretty good in black zinc but it only seems to hold about half as well as powdercoating,plus it mimics the surface so any imperfections are magnified rather than smoothed over.

That was my original plan,i did some "cardboard bodywork" yesterday,basicall cutting,shaping and taping strategically shaped pieces of cardboard to the car to get some ideas going.In doing this i came upon a good idea for blending into my doors which i originally was against,but with the door on the car it seems to just be the right thing to do.
