well, ive gotten quite a bit done restoring the car from after the fire. i figured i would post some pictures for you. hopefully ill have it all painted by the end of the week, and ill have the engine back in again and running within another week. this project has been cursed from the beginning, but its finally coming together nicely.
heres a picture of what it looked like after the fire just for reference.
and heres what it looks like nowadded in the bodyline to hold the lights better, did this with a dremel and was scared as hell but it turned out really niceHeres the engine after i pulled it apart and repainted it after the fire damageand this is her finally turning white. Im going to miss the 2-tone, but shes going to be a beast. also..here is my plan for the front until i figure out what im going to do with it.

for the time being yah. i wasnt planning on putting any money into the car itself, but after the fire, it was either buy another beat up chasis, or spend around the same amount of money and make this one look good. I found that tails for $50, otherwise i would have just got coupe tails from a salvage yard. Part of me wishes it still looked like a regular coupe, but im very happy with the way the rear turned out. once i get my rb putting out hp numbers im satisfied with, im thinking of putting an r32 front on, but im more worried about the numbers than the look, but i had to do something with it haha.
