nice, i'm really interested how the painted body will look like !

 

engine almost finished just some aluminium tubing and some welding and the oil thermostat then it can be started for testing


the car will probably not be finished this year i have a lott of problems with my back and the sanding works are heavy and painful so i will be taking it easy for the moment.

 

 

hey im building a veilside also did the kit have alot of problems lining up. my hood and door panels are alil off any suggestions? their is a big gap between front fenders and doors. mine was original veilside from japan. i dont get it their anything i can do?are you going two tone? also what rims did u get and size? want the offsets to be right also seems veilside japan fitment is not correct bc their pics show the rear tires sunk in not real aggressive looking. good luck and thanks

 

there were a lott of problems and i also did had a big gap between front fender and doors +- 1 cm but i have made it smaller with fiberglass.
i will be going 2 tone yes, dark red and dark grey. wor the wheels i go with asanti AF... in the sizes they say on most dealer website's 19x9 -6 and 19x12 -34 i hope these are the correct sizes

 

he sam heb jij ook zo'n polyester balk binnen in je bumper?
of heb je die niet nodig met deze kit?

er zit bij mij namelijk een polyester balk op het front bij mij

 

neen heb da niet zitten weet niet of die er nog op past bij de kit trouwens.

whoah!! that freaked me out a bit! definately something orignal! looks cool

 

these are the wheels i have ordered yesterday Asanti Af 164
19" x 9" -6 and 19" x 12" -34

 

Nice!
No stamp of asanti on the lip?
Im curious what it will look like when they are on the car.

 

i'm thinking of it to paint the logo and name in the lips yes

 

i was bit bored and took a picture of the dashbord with the lights on

 

Lookin good but why don't you get blue glow dials for the oem gauges to match the rest? In fact I have some lying around if you're interested.

 

Where can i get one of these? i need one to protect the new paint job.

 

I have that same design in my CAD program, i could have made you a set SUPER CONCAVE option for the same price you paying for flat face option you going with .

Next time... great build by the way.

your glass work is amazing. do you do it for a profession?

 

alpsta : i like the apexi gauges even if they are blue glow it doesn't botter me. i had 2 of them in my previous FD and just have bought 2 extra.

Shiryuoss : the same here i don't want to get the rear bumper burned
i bought it via ebay. here is the link he has different diameters

muibubbles : it's just a hobby sometimes i make parts for other people but not as profession.

 

That cockpit is amazing. I would pay money just to sit there with the gauges turned on.

 

Coming along very nicely!

 

I think you misunderstood. I am saying why don't you convert the amber OEM gauges blue glow to match the rest of your Apexi gauges. Like in this picture:

aaaah oeps i understand
i can't convert the color from the 'distance meter' or however that call's that stays amber

 

Very nice!! its cool to see the dash all lit up like that.. I remember when the thing looked like a giant sea urchin with all the fiberglass sticking up in every which way direction haha. You definitely got it looking good brotha! can't wait to see more!

 

Thank you for the Link.. keep up the great job on the FD
