Thanks dude! me too! Im going to have you make me a shift ****, ive been thinking on what exactly I want. I'll just grab it at DGRR if thats cool.

 

So. ITS PAINTED! Pics up tomorrow, I'm SOOO tired right now!

 

You have until 1 PM.... I'm not sure what happens after that, but the world may very well end so I wouldn't drop the ball if I were you.

 

They would be up, but my gf took her laptop with her today, and mine is at work. (played hookie) I'll have them up later. I promise

 

still waiting ........

 

I'm on my fourth cup of coffee.

 

As i type this, 40 pictures are being uploaded to my photobucket account. The pics are near!

 

I spent a lot of time on the car this weekend before the paint. Just making it "better".

The holes i drilled for the IC, i also hacked the bottom of the drivers side rad support for my oil cooler lines.


I also had to get my wiring cleaned up and figured out.




Its damn near ready for the dash! A lot more wires to extend though..

Anyone want to buy this spoiler? needs a litte work, make offer :
A
Sneaky hole drilled for brake booster vac line:

The man at work! Spraying 2k primer

Its really nice to see it all one color

This is the sealer that I used, also white.

The paint still needs wet sanded and buffed in a few spots, so this all has to come back out



Im on a roll, already started on the subframe lol

NEW: ball joints, sway bar links, controll arm bushings, stay bar busings, sway bar bushings, caliper rebuild kits. The car already has new stock replacement shocks and egay springs (to be respeed), bearings, and rotors that really need resurfaced.

and my press broke, so im pretty much done for the day.

There better be at least 1,000 comments by tomorrow! haha

 

This is after i got the car and cleaned the bay. 100% stock glory!

Current


As you can see, there is a slight difference...

I love this car. This is the most fun I've ever had doing anything. Every day i get closer to the end, and get to see just that much more which makes me want to work even more. The engine bay came out better that I ever would of expected, its freaking georgous!

Thank you guys for keeping me going!

 

Worth the wait. I really like the color matched brake booster. I'm going to have to do that too when I do the body work. Looks great, now get it put back together so we can see how it looks with everything in there.

 

i have a question. we painted over the vin number that is stamped into the firewall and now its hardly legible.... is this going to be an issue? If you look at the vin on the vin tag right beside it you can just barely tell with your eyes that they match. but if you looked at the number and had to read it to me i doubt you would be able to tell. We shouldnt of sprayed the 2K over it huh?

 

Love it man! Damn I know i'm jealous lol. Nice pig lol

The VIN might be a problem if the car ever moves to different states where you would need to have the car VIN inspected before getting it registered.

 

It needs vin inspected.... I moved from PA to OH and haven't got the vin inspection yet because the car was in pieces. Let them try to tell me the VIN doesn't match...

 

This looks soo good! Im really looking forward to seeing it with the engine in!

 

Two thumbs up. Great work, I hope to do that some day.
BTW I love bacon. Lol

 

that came out great cshaw!

 

thank you guys! i cant wait to get the car rolling and get some pics in the sun! that white looks anywhere from yellow to super bright as hell white with the lighting in my garage.

 

Now whens the car gonna be painted ? I've always loved the championship white or grand prix white that some S2000s came with. Looks amazing. Would love to see a whole FB with it. The dover white the later 84-85 cars came with doesnt seem as nice.

 

If you got up close with a decent light you should be able to read the VIN. It's there and you didn't alter it aside from fresh paint so there's nothing illegal about it.

 

that turned out really nice!

 

Thank you, i didnt know how i was going to feel about the matched booster at first, but im really glad i did it.

Give me a break! The car isnt going to get painted until its running decent and i can drive it to TR's house to paint it. Estimation - March 2012. Championship White came on the acura integra type R's for a few years. Not sure about the S2k's

I looked at it really really close in my garage yesterday. You can make out all but about 2 letters.. one is a 9 lol but like i said, if you have the little vin plate right next to it you can tell that they are in fact the same.

Thank you bud did you get my pm about that door jamb sticker?

TR says hes coming over tonight to wet sand and buff a few spots. While hes doing that ill be working on the subframe! I hope to have the doors back on and the car rolling tonight. but i doubt it as my press is still broken

And thank you to everyone else that commented!
