I'm on the fence about this color and FDs. I used to see a stock bodied FD here in SoCal w/ that red candy color. It didn't do the car justice at all.

But I see your progress, and I like what I see thus far. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the end result.

I can't decide if I like the two tone or not, but it doesn't matter because that red is sexy enough to make up for it even if i decide I don't. Sick car.

Not all of us here in norway My family likes motors and stuff, my mom had a 98 Camaro as daily driver for almost 5 years(thats a very rare car in norway, its maybe 3 or 4 98-02 model camaros). My dad also got a fountain 35 lightning with twin 502 bigbloks with B&M blowers.

Im glad that i havent been burned yet, i was expecting "99 spec all the way" "ricer boy" "kandy are for hot rods", "body kits are for civics"
Glad you like it.

Thank you.

Now i have done ready all nuts and bolts ect for galvanising in gold.

Sorry that i have been late on utdate recently, but i am the first one in norway to get dispensation to drive on drift events without a driving license! Im only 17 and in norway you cant get drivers license before you are 18.
So i am very happy about that.

Il post pics when i get more:




This is with a rhd rx-7 that is convertet to N/A.. This was my first time EVER driving a RHD and also first time drifting. But i think it went quit well.
