It is time to get caught back up for good! I figure I'll start where I left off. So before sending this off we went over all that I wanted done to the car cage wise and gave him (my boi Thomas Meiser with Fabn801) a good idea of my goals. Once he got there I worked even more along with him via pictures and drawing things out ha. Ghetto but it worked pretty well! Here are our "blueprints". From here, things started taking shape. He started with the main hoop as it was the most important part. He bent them perfectly around the interior to really hug the walls, nailed it perfect. But after closer inspection of the rules we realized the bends probably exceeded the amount fo bends we could have. Total of 180 degrees between it all. So he was super cool and tore it out and redid it for me. Things beginning to take shape and working through it together: The final outcome before it was shipped back home. Looking super sick!! Man, Thomas really killed it and I couldn't be more stoked on the outcome. Can highly recommend him as a builder for anyone in the Utah area. I caught him when he was still young in his career and I can only imagine as he grows his company he will be a huge name. After all was said and done, he went above and beyond what was owed. We initially had the deal for him to gusset things out but he was already over what we agreed on hours wise and so I told him to not worry about these adn I'd fix them up later. And here are some of the highlight pics after getting her home safe and sound! There was a snowstorm on the way home and she got a bit wet so I wiped all the raw metal down but the car was still pretty wet overall. More to come!

Hoping someone can help! I'm almost done with swapping the RB25 in and I'm at a loss for a few of the plugs on the harness. My guess is they go to things that I don't have connected but I'm hoping for clarification!Here are the pics:First: this is coming off the alternator, my guess was maybe the fans or something? There's s 3 way split where the MAF and the Exhaust sensor lines split off with this last guy. This 6 hole plug close to where the harness comes out of the firewall. Before the injector plug. This 8 hole plug that comes directly from the firewall split. These two cylinder shaped pieces, not sure. Any insights? Eventually I plan on taking the harness out and removing things like this that aren't needed but I want to get it running first. I'm guessing one of these go to the transmission as there are a few plugs down there that I'm not sure where they end up.

Man I need to update this, I am so much farther along than this shows ha. I'll get on that. For now, hoping someone can help!

Man this is looking better every day. So stoked to see how much progress you've made since you got it running! I guess that indeed is where the motivation comes from. Having a car that drives that you can tinker on rather than a non running car. I need to get my act in gear!

Hey Omar! Any more updates since this??

Man, I love your updates! Hopefully with winter here we'll see more of them!

The sad truth. I keep at it because I like to share the knowledge I've gained in a way that hopefully helps but it definitely isn't the way to win a popularity contest haha.

No problem Boosted! I was hoping it would be a valuable thread to people moving forward.

Every time I look at your posts you feel me with envy for your talents! Those look AWESOME!

Dude those look awesome! When are you installing them??

Holy balls that looks good! I also wouldn't mind coming to check it out!

Dang that looks sick!! Did he polish those pieces up or did they come out of paint like that?

You're such a tease! I can't wait to see the finished car! This is in SLC, right?

Dang dude, that is going to be so clean!!

Man it's all looking so good! Did you MIG your doors or TIG them?

Yeah I think with the lizard skin stuff and you putting the interior back together it wouldn't be worth it to have them do the inside. That car is going to look great!

dang getting close! They are zooming along! That stuff took me forever to do! Is it tacky of me to ask how much you're paying? I'd like to get a re spray one day after I finish all the crap on mine (Like I should've done in the first place ha).

Those 3d Canards are sweet! What 3D scanner do you guys use to do all the scans?
