Hi.

I owned this car since 1997. Almost 19 yrs. time was fast. And havnt done that lot of work for my fd. Just keep it on the garage under my apartment.

Auto tranny to manual swap has done completely and nicely except pedals. Using vented jdm pedal so far.

And done for lot of works as shown below.
All done for around half year. ;)

-new premium leather seat. Not chinese junk.
-new wheels. Bbs rgr ghost chrome 18"

Nice seats. The color looks sooo much better than the OEM tan.

Nice project! I am working on a similar effort for my '93.

Yeah I like seat also! Quality is pretty good like my F30. Same color. Cinnamon brown. Thx

Very tastefully done, now you just got to get out and enjoy it all. Cheers

Very clean car. Where did you get the inserts for the front bumper openings?

You may want to have this moved to build threads also.

What you mean by bumper openings? If you mean the mesh grilles. Got those from ebay. There are various size for universal usage.

Can i move this to build threads? Or need to start new thread?

Thats what I was looking at, it gives the front end a more modern look.

And the Mods would be able to move it for you.

Thanks. 04G35S. Posting new thread here :) i am newbie here so. Didnt know what i was doing. ;)

Started new thread. :) thanks. That grille doesnt cost that much. You can find it with around 50usd. It is very solid plastic so it is very light weight but need some glue/putty work for tightening enough.

ebay universal mesh grilles

Here is the link that i installed for openings. 59bucks. FYI.

Looks great.

;)

Merged into the Build Threads

Thanks! Happy new year!
