Got it painted...preview

Well, it's not 100% yet, still needs a Nismo rear bumper (been waiting months on it) and there's little stuff to finish up, but here's what she looks like as of yesterday getting it from the paint shop. Sorry the photos aren't the greatest!

that looks real nice man, do you have any side shots? like looking down the side of the car...

Post by **y3llows14** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 6:05 am

Looks good. What color is that? C

Post by **goofynick6** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 6:17 am

I have some side shots, but not uploaded yet and I'm at work.

Color is just straight black, but the clouds make it look funny.

Thanks for compliments.

Nick

*Edit, I added another pic with more of a profile shot you're looking for.

Very clean..

I think, since you're posting it in here.. you should open the hood for a couple pictures.

Post by **BoostFab** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 9:37 am

damn that's a sweet looking car.

Post by **agent4146** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 10:21 am

Nope, just the picture, they're a little dirty but no moisture.

The fenders were one of the first 10 from VIS' molds...they fit ok, but had been cracked from someone backing into them so they weren't perfect. The bodyshop did a LOT of work to get them to fit well.

Thanks again guys,

Nick

Haha, I like to think of it as an, "embankment"..heh.

The damage done in the accident was actually minor. The car was put on a frame machine and the only thing wrong was a couple control arms were bent, so they pulled them, I replaced a tie rod and tc rod and the rest was some bodywork (which it needed some already before I even got the car). She's looking much better now; once I clean it up inside and out I'll take more pics.

Thanks,Nick

Wow when ever I see a nice paint job I'm reminded on how ugly my paint job is . I guess I need to work on my exterior looks and put the performance parts on hold.

Post by **Sil240** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 1:44 pm

wow Nice!!!!!

Beaut. With the kit and lowering it somehow looks quite a bit longer than a standard S14. I think you need to get bigger brakes now...

Agreed, the CWest front does extend out, almost like a Veilside kit.

I really wish there was that extra $350 for Z brakes! Oh well, one thing at a time.

Is that a rea C-West front, see where its sagging at the right headlight (grill area)?

Post by **rb250sx** » Wed Apr 27, 2005 6:05 pm

AWESOME NICK! im so glad to see such a wonderful car back together again. wont be too much longer til you will be able to get out of that topaz or whatever that was you were driving haha. So far youve built, wrecked, and rebuilt before i ever got mine on the road.

Clean bud... glad to see it's road worthy again.

I don't like to say it b/c I hate to be negative on such a nice car... but you might want to check to see if you can level out your FMIC... looks crooked in the pic. That's a big pet peave of mine, but if it doesn't bother you forget I said anything. Again... wild kit for my taste, but a clean job none the less.

looks pretty level to me, i think the reflection from the lip is throwing it off a bit.

Post by **rbsileighty** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 2:36 am

Interesting... the top looks off, but I see what you mean about the bottom.

Hey, Thanks guys. The fmic IS dead level, the pic makes it look off a little, but it is a pet peave of mine as well. The bumper is a real cwest, but due to the accident, it's not 100% perfect, there is a little spot that is a tad off near the headlight, but I'm going to see if it is something I can straighten up (hadn't had a chance yet).

Thanks again guys

Nick

Without a doubt that is one of the cleanest 240's I've ever seen. Clean lines and no clutter, excellent job my friend. I'm putting you in for NICO car of the month. Do me a favor and email me a short writeup on your mods and whatnot.
