FD + 2JZGTE = WIN! **D

Yeesh...it's definitely amazing to see how much time and effort you're putting into your FD...
It scares me to think about not only how much that Fortune body kit costs, but all of the custom work involved just to make it fit well.

Time and money money money.
Yours is definitely coming along though! Great pics and continued follow-up!

on the whole car i have spend around 2200 hours on it from stripping to building, sanding, custom work, wiring, etc...
just to give an idea i'm lucky that i can do it all myself
but i'm getting closer to end ! i can almost start the engine and interior almost finished. just need to do carbon fiber on the back of my recaro seats

yes i maybe would buy an original one, would be less work but i thought because i change details and work some parts together i could risk it ... but on other side i saved half the price .
it has his pro's and con's but i did not know it would be so bad shaped but most parts got deformed while shipping
because fiberglass parts if you can't instal them whitin a few weeks they can take other shape's
even with original body kits. the replica took around 3 months before delivery.
when i did my WB civic long time ago it was an original body kit and fitment was also like sh*t that is one of the reasons also i risked it for a replica.
fiberglass is something strange ...
ah what the hell ... as long as i'm happy when it's finished it is good for me
btw: what would be best type oil to use with my set up ? because i'm making the engine ready for a test-start
and what do i need to do for the first time starting
