His FD is for sale now, if anyone is interested.

 

Not interested, but curious what he is asking for it. Link?

 

Yeah, whats he asking for that abortion?

 

There isn't a link, I think you just have to contact him and ask.

 

Figures, I can't imagine anyone paying much more than a couple of grand based on it being such a hack job and all the knock off parts. Shame as the car had potential at the beginning.......

 

The guy said that the buyer if from Kentucky. Who wants to bet that it's some 19 year old kid that'll dump this thing on Craig's List as soon as summer is over?

 

Can’t seem to post links. New buyer is on you tube now.

 

Found it:

 

I don think this guy had any idea what he was buying. What a disappointment.

 

Part 2:

 

So much half-assed work that has to be removed, redone and fixed. But thats what you get with a low (no) budget and 1 month deadline. The paintjob tho is the worst.
But from what the new owner talks about, its gonna get better life now

 

That car is so bad, I really hope he didn't pay a bunch of money for it. The wheel spacers are the worst.

 

watched the vids. Hope that guys joins this forums and gets some proper information. Actually felt really sorry for him.

 

Agreed - I managed to send him a message before the trolls got on there and he said he had already looked at various threads on the forum. I told him to join as there would be a lot of people willing to help him out.

I guess we will see if he gets on here.

 

That poor FD was mangled.
I've been ready for the rivnut over-fender craze to end since it started. At its essence, its a "cheap" way to cover poking-out wheels based on the old racing days. On modern cars, I think it looks terrible and the B build is the thesis of this statement. Ill-fitting, knock-off, poorly-installed junk, done under a self-imposed tight timeline produced one of the worst FD builds I have ever seen. The stock RB kit is terrible enough. That FD really was in descent shape, too. He had gone through all the trouble of heavily cleaning the interior, and would have had a great car if he spent that much time on the exterior. Then there were those sponsor-supplied crap wheels that required all that spacing to fit under said crap body kit. That dude lost what little credibility he started his FD build with me, almost immediately. I watched a few episodes like watching a train wreck. So much fail.

 

 

Fixing some electrical issues and the daytime running light install (F is for Fix):

 

Removing the Rocket Bunny kit:

 

Thank JESUS! This car needs some real TLC.

 

It found a good owner. I like the way this guy thinks and works.

 

I guess don't get too excited?
It's coming off to go back on.

 

I like where this Icon Garage dude's heart is, but I don't expect a whole lot from him. He takes forever to put out a new video, and I find myself skimming the video due to length. His action montages are long, then he spends quite a bit of time talking about the issues he has with the part of the project. His personality puts me to sleep.
Now, those awful wheels and horrific spacers need to be thrown in the trash, to get a proper lipped wheel. Of course, I'm not a fan of the RB kit, but he likes it. I'll probably check-in with his progress in a few months, but not until then. Now, that TJ Hunt seems to be having himself a nice FD coming along - even if he isn't really doing any of the work. His buddy, Mickey even got an FD. That might be fun to watch, but it seems like they are using that FD to gain viewership for their separate "Throtl" channel and Instagram.

Are there any really good FD builds on YouTube right now?

 

 

TJ Hunt? Oh boy I stopped watching his videos after I made the deduction he barely does any of the work on his cars.

I do enjoy AdamLZ, tommyfyeah, Ricer Miata, Braedon Carlson, and Tyler Fialko though.
