My name is Kristen...so i bought an s14 shell and am doing the kouki conversion... im new to the forums just showing the progress of everything ... :D
this car is one of many of our promotions for 1307MotorsnDesigns
all the work is being done by me and my boyfriend Andre.. from all the body conversions down the paint and primer nothing has been or will be sent to a different shop
Were trying to open up our own shop right now working without a designated shop of our own... we can do carbon fiber and carbon fiber overlays, fiberglass work, paint, body, and engine building.
so this is my 240...here are the pics starting from the beginning..ill keep posting new pics all the way up to the finish product


Image
Left Side stock , door is wet-sanded down
some waves, filled in with body-filler

Image
Right side stock, door is wet-sanded down ... bottom part of door was hit in had to use a uni-spotter to pull it out and then hit it back down and follow up with bondo ... also some waves filled in with bodyfiller

Image
Back , spoiler tooken off and holes are welded in.


Image
Front with no bumper. AIT fenders placed on

Image
Left AIT fender, wet-sanded down

Front fenders with mock rims on them just tryna see what it would look like...had 4 guys in the engine bay to assimilate my rb25 that currently isnt in there for the body work


Image
Front kouki bumper with stock hood.... still waiting on the hood...
ducktape is where i needed to fiberglass


I put on 30mm rear overfenders so here are the pictures of the cut wheel wells

Image



Image
Here i am grinding away down to bare metal so the glue for the overfenders will adhere better

Image
Thanks to Tray ... putting the glue on

O btw do not ever get Zerolift brackets Zerolift is known for not picking up ur screening ur calls plenty of times I had to call blocked or from a different number. I pAid for my mounts and driveshaft in full over the phone 3months ago and I still have recieved my brackets. 2 weeks ago I asked for my refund and still haven't recieved that. Not really trying to batter Zerolift but just trying to contribute to Nico community just be aware out of those the months, my phone bill over 140 phone calls to Zerolift and only 13 out of 150 picked up, I'm just fead up, I have deadlines I've shouldve went with mckinnley the first time

Zerolift has always had problems, I can remember as much as 8 years ago. I never understood why people keep giving them business.

Keep up the good work on your project and good luck getting your money or parts!
