Excellent build thread Trevor, very impressive how much effort and time you’ve put towards your car. Good job! Btw, how’re you going to pass emissions with all of the corresponding equipment removed? I’m considering doing it myself due to the plethora of 18 year old vacuum lines and possible EGR leaks. All of the thing you’ve done are still on my to do list, 2 years after owning the car. It’s sad, I wish I had a garage, and a lot of free time + adequate tools. ---

Theres the before picture but you cant really see any of the imperfections, the aluminum was starting to corrode under the clear coat and there was no way to polish them up. There was also very slight curb rash on one or two of the wheels. Theres a pretty good after pic in this thread iirc. > [@This just in, the earth is flat](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/this-just-in-the-earth-is-flat/25168/33): > > Hot damn that is one hot green hatch… who would have thought green was so sexy. 😛 I liked the colour when I got the car, but it grows on you the more you look at it.

SPRING BUMP Cars coming out of storage this Thursday hopefully. I’ve got a few things planned for it right away. Picked up a carbon fiber roof spoiler and some Volk C-ultras for track wheels and have a set of 180sx sides laying around that are going to go on Getting it tinted, GTR seats and Personal wood steering wheel are going in from my winter beater. Also found a wrecked Z32tt, so I grabbed the 30mm aluminum front and rear calipers, ebrake assembly, rear spindles and 5-lug and BMC. If anyones interested in the aluminum spindles or TT rear hubs, let me know. Pics this weekend if all goes as planned! ---
