Is that a ‘JDM’ Nissan box? :o

[sil_eightyRPS13]

well i hope u have REAL JDM MASA conversion fenders, cause those are the only ones that fit awesome. Or u can work the factory metal ones…but that tends to get a bit expensive…good luck

[blue_monkey_man]

why not to buy s14 fenders for an s13…

got the wrong ones by accident, wasnt my fault so i’ll be getting mine soon enough…i hope

heres the c-west bumper

i think its gonna turn out okay.the hood is gonna be in hiding for a while so i dont damage the…dare i say… CARBON FIBER!!! i got some bits and peices of the stuff i’ve done so far

the wheel wells (i wonder why that donut is onn??? (burnout - lsd = 1 missing tire!!!)
i like the undercoating that i put on, and gonna do it to the rest of the car.

needs frame work, and some 5 lugs

make ur pics smaller man! WAY to big 640x480, imageshack has an option to resize them!

[blue_monkey_man]

there all better

[blue_monkey_man]

heres the front end of the car… in 2 peices!!

primered the whole inside of the bay, man that sticky glue shit they use on the seams is hard to clean and get rid of, it sticks to evertthing

[silvia_sr20det_s13]

are u using spraypaint or real paint? and u missed the rad support

[jdms13rhd]

I did a write up on doing an engine bay. If you do a search on painting engine bay you will find it and maby help you some. Good luck!

[blue_monkey_man]

thanks man, but i didnt miss the rad support, its getting cut out for a v-mount, no point in wasting paint

[blue_monkey_man]

I"M IN LOVE

[silvia_sr20det_s13]

thanks man, but i didnt miss the rad support, its getting cut out for a v-mount, no point in wasting paint

ahh good stuff v mount eh should look hawt

[blue_monkey_man]

my garage is under quarenteen!! just kidding, gonna paint the engine bay soon.

hard to see, but its just the engne bay tarped off. i’m gonna make it into a spray booth wiht a fan and filter.

sprayed the inner fenders with premium rubberized rockerguard, this stuff works great

also repainted my brake booster, gonna do the resevoirs as well, but dont know if i should do them black, do u think it would look good??

also if your wondering how i got the tarp to stay to the car, i just clamped the tarp to the rubber protector before the wipers, its right on line with the top of the engine bay so i hopefully wont have any overspray.

[TyPhOOn]

how is your car coming along now ?

[blue_monkey_man]

i’ll post some new pics soon, engine bays painted and just working on the bottom

[blue_monkey_man]

heres some new pics,

hard to see but its the underside of the engine bay, using undercoating

this is the stuff i used, it works great, kinda expensive though. In total i’ve used 4 bottles to completly cover 3 wheel wells, and the underneath of the engine bay.

some stuff being sandblasted and painted this week

my new parts getter
