WC's never ending s13 project

[White Comet]

unfortunately i dont have any more pics since i didnt have my camera w/ me, but i will say the date for my car going into paint has been pushed back til probably next Monday. normally i'd be upset about a delay, its only being delayed because i decided to get something for it last minute and the car cant be painted til it gets here now. i'll leave u all to speculate on what that is.

[S3t0_S13]

nice man everything comin along nice!!!

[i240sx]

one rusty ride. nice front end though...fog light are sexy...nice

[White Comet]

there might be a little surface rust because inbetween my grinding and sanding its been raining. but all the actual rust on the car has been taken care of, thank you. and none of those lights are fog lights, its just oem kouki goodness

[White Comet]

no guesses as to what i'm waiting for?

[Hellion240sx]

yes please do a write up on the body line

[White Comet]

alright since no one wants to play my game i'm getting kouki tail lights. on the way and they should be here in the first half of the weekin other news my new vis cf hood came in today. looks amazing cant wait to get it on the car. the last hood was the exact same except scratched and generally beat to hell. this one if so much nicer (should be for a brand new hood) and is smooth and flawless. i also have the new sparco hood pins i picked up to with it. my main focus has always been to do it right the first time and use quality parts. the car wasn't in bad shape when i got it, and mechanically many parts were a name brand (ie, walboro fp, turbonetics bov, apexi front strut bar, etc) the original hood was a name brand one as well just in general it, along with the rest of the car, were beat very hard. i've been pleased w/ the car mechanically since the start, and i'm very excited to know that soon the exterior will soon be in immaculate as well. the interior is already very close to complete as well as the sound system. sorry for the long post, and enjoy the new parts pics

ps- i will def do a write up

DAMN. Best pics of a CF hood i've ever seen. The finish on that hood is scrumtrillescent.

[White Comet]

hahah, thank you. sorry i havent gotten a solid update in a while school work (dont double major if u wanna have a life) and work have been eating up my time. i dont really have too much more to do, a little more body work and sanding (its prolly good but u can never sand too much) and it'll be ready for paint once the lower tail light piece is on. i realized though i never got any finished pics of my oil catch can. i'll take some pics of those along w/ the new mirrors i got. hopefully the cd player will go in tonight. i might also do a post where i focus on the audio equipment. hmmm, theres always something to do, oh well i'll have a better update next time

on the front bumper u jus orderd the extensions and nothing else?

[White Comet]

i'm not sure what u mean by nothing else. i picked up everything u need, the bumper, mounting brackets, and extensions. i think this is what ur talking about if not let me know. i will be updating this thread probably tomorrow. i've just been really busy and my camera ended up in my friend's s14 (he drove to cali to live there so i need to get it back, lol) and i've been dealing w/ thishttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=282544

jus trying to figure out what all i need to mount this new bumper on.I saw the bumper extensions, jus trying to fingure out what the bumper extensions are for.thats suxs tho on the coilover problem i hope you catch the guy

[White Comet]

thanks every thing's been pretty much taken car of w/ the coilovers. the bumper is connected to the fenders w/ the bumper brackets and as u can see teh bumper sticks out a little wider than teh fenders do. the extensions extend the bumper so it comes flush out to the wheel well. are u going w/ a full type x conversion or just the bumper?

[Automato]

sup jeff. sorry to thread jack, but just a little update on my car. i got to the 1/4 mile track today. did a best time of 12.84 @ 111.8 mph. i still have a lot of room for improvement though. i think with a really good clean run, i could get 12.5 into the low 12's. i will also be back in town this coming weekend. i definitely want to see the progress of the your car.

[White Comet]

holy crap man, thats awesome. w/ my current set ups i know i cant get any lower than like 13 flat. sweet thought, gimme a call when u get back in town. to everyone looking for updates i'll post the latest soon, but i've been working like crazy to finish teh body work and my camera still didnt come back from cali.

[sancosys]

To the OP What are the panels on the garage floor? Is there some sort of area you can walk under? Thanks.

Aaron

[White Comet]

no prob man. my dad's garage has a pit that is covered by those planks. we also have heated floors, an air compressor, mig welder, plasma cutter, small paint booth and a few other fun things

[hbpignosePA]

clean car dude... loving the originality with the type x...

did u say wat color ur going with? maybe i missed it... id like to see it sometime, im from york and there isnt too many ppl who are into 240s, who dont rice them out.....

nice build thread, it makes me miss my car while im away at school

[White Comet]

yeah man if ur in the lancaster area ever lmk, im always around. it will be getting painted daytona blue (from the 350z) in the spring. for now im spray bombing it since i dont wanna go through snow and winter and damaged fresh paint. this'll also give me time to find a type x lip before the real paint job. thaks for the compliments

[mrgreeneyes]
