Thanks guys, I’m extremely excited about this coming season.

Started working on the dedicated Brembo ebrake setup tonight, should have a final bracket to be manufactured later this week. Don’t mind the discoloration, the stock brembo finish tends to discolor under heavy track use, the final product will have matching calipers hahaha.

Really shitty photo, sorry it’s from my cell phone and then I blurred out the embarrassing mess that is my garage right now. Bodywork is mostly complete. Tomorrow I’ll finish the new aluminum undertray (the last one I saw it’s final use in a trash can at Clubloose after the crash), drill and pin the hood (gotta go grab 2 more hood pins, no hinges for me), and I need to get a pair of plastic clips from Dorschel Nissan which I’ll have by the end of the week (that is why the bumper is sticking out next to the headlights/bottom of the fenders. Hopefully finish it up and go for paint Friday or Monday.

I’m targeting March a week from Saturday to put the motor in hopefully, and I’d like to have it fired up a week or so after that. Still need to figure out a generic decently priced aluminum radiator, any suggestions? I have NO mounting requirements whatever is done will be custom it just needs to fit between my frame rails, approx 31 inches.

The hood is just sitting on the car in that photo, so it’s alignment is slightly off, I’ll tidy it up tomorrow.

Fairly close. I won’t be using this place again due to the price, but I needed it done and I didn’t know one of my friends could have done it for me at the time. Oh well.
