it's almost home!

[MainEvent212]

for the few who followed my saga of epic proportions, that was fixing my car, this will be a long awaited moment...for those who dont know...well u probably dont care lol

i finally got to see my car with most of a front end once again and it looks fairly decent...while all i have at the moment are some crappy camera phone shots. More are to come, and i guarantee that the car will be finished next time i post pictures here (and it will be soon )

and now, i bring you...project: broken...ressurection

BEFORE

BEFORE+accident

[D1SR240]

looks good man, can't wait to see the whole finished thing

[jdmfreak]

Damn! In that night pic, your head lighs look like glass.

[240SX_S13]

wat the hell did u hit?

[anumeric]

Yay for no kit.

[MainEvent212]

I hit an integra. It was a low speed accident but between not having a bumper support and previous shoddy body work, my car got F-ed up...the integra was fine.

it's nearly dont but i'm having a hell of a time sourcing hte right sized couplers for my intercooler piping...it's all weird sizes...if anyone wants to donate to my "get ian some real intercooler piping" fund please IM me at mainevent212 and i'll give u my paypal email lol

and yes...my old headlights made european silvia drivers blush

[MainEvent212]

k i lied about the pics...these are w/ a real camera at the same point in progress

[Doomed2Walk]

Looking good, I'm sure you can not wait to get it back.

[jdmfreak]

So were the old head lights really glass? Or was it just the angle? If they were glass then that leads to my second question. What about the corners?

[MainEvent212]

naw, i just know a kid that polishes by hand, harder then a machine ever has before...it's like hooking up a high speed drill to a polishing wheel...it's almost weird...

mothers aluminum polish and hours of polishing yield that...my tails looked glass as well...looked like they were wet all the time

[jdmfreak]

SOLID!

[Altiman94]

Did you put a bumper support in it this time? How about the paint, another flat black job in store? sorry for all the questions, im just an inquisative person

[bcuz]

so the s14 lights on the 95-96 are plastic? is that why they always turn into that horribly ugly yellow tint?

[MainEvent212]

altiman: no prob, i never mind questions cuz it makes me feel like i have a decent car lol...bumper support IS in this time and it aint goin nowhere...my intercooler has body armor ...and flat black is always in store for my car

bcuz: yeah, lights are plastic and they turn yellow due to oxidation...sanding and polishing w/ mag polish works AMAZINGLY well..just dont get the polish on your paint and let it try...that is not good

[bcuz]

seriosly .. I used to think the 95-96 fronts where ugly .. but now that Ive seen your car with those perrrrty lil eyes of hers, Im a changed man.

[MainEvent212]

lol now i really feel like crap about crashing it...and that was like 4 months ago

[deejayS13]

mmmm I like oreo cookies.

[MainEvent212]

well it's officially home...at the moment, i've got a mountain dew as my radiator overflow catch, cutch fan w/ no shroud (koyo, and i killed the shroud...my permacool is "lost"...believe they'll pay for it if it really is), no upper reinforcement (holds grille etc)...hood latch is 15 small zip ties...overheats if i dotn leave the heat on cuz the coolant system needs to be bled

but it's home and i couldnt be happier...expect some sound clips of the exhaust tomorrow...LOUD and a little raspy at times...but it's nice

[Altiman94]

glad to hear you got her home. Work out those last little bugs and you are good to go.
