i've been too lazy to update this thread with pics and cody still has soccer all the time and school started for him as well. for starters the hatch is finished and on. heres a few shots of the wire clean up i did

heres the hatch finished with clear coat. its not perfect but its better then what it was

besides that cody is working on swapping in manual pulsar seatbelts to replaced the automatic ones

just today cody wired up a lit ignition ring and put leds into the cluster, pics of these things to come later. here he his dremeling the black ignition ring to fit the lit ring progress is coming along slowly do to lack of time, but he still has 6 months til he can get his permit. his soldering is getting better btw

and now here's a crap ton of pics i took that i thought look cool. if you've seen any of my photoshoots before you should be used to the background

and for the first pic the flash was on but the sunset looks cool in this one

wow that red looks really close to the stock color. Good job .

any more daytime shots?

my advice is clean the wheels or get new ones, paint the chuki lip or clean it up good, wash the car before taking pics. lol sorry i'm really picky.

pics of the led cluster too please.

thanks

before a real photoshoot the car would have been washed but i noticed a cool sunset and told him to pull his car around/ new wheels arent in the plans for a long time and theres no point in painting the chuki lip since it'll probably have a pig lip eventually. i'll snap pics of the cluster later. silver star headlights goin in soon

looks great imo

the rear hatch paint seems to not blend in as well as the front bumper paint. Maybe its just an angle thing but you tell me what looks better with the naked eye. also what kind of paint did you use? Company? Color? Clear?

it is surprisingly clean despite the surface rust. another thing that hit me is my 15 year old brother has a newer s13 than all of us local guys. we're all originally zenkis and cody's is the only real chuki
