So after thinking long and hard about the purple car, and my end goal with it, I knew deep down the one thing that was bothering me...
So long story short the quarter panels are back to stock metal lol
I called up my buddy Brent for a quarter panel “de-modification” round 2, and so the work began-
First cutting off the hammered to shit arches:
Then by using a scan of my other car, we were able to locate where the stock arch location should be:
Then hand shaping new metal for both sides of the car:
To do this the right way, a custom die was created to stamp the body line:
New wheel houses were made that sit closer to the outside skin than the stock design, to allow for more wheel clearance
Welding the new metal on and so on:
While that was going on, I began modifying my OEM kouki bumper for Greddy intercooler fitment, turn signal delete, N1 vents, etc:
Once the quarter panels were finished up, I began mocking up the car with the new parts I had acquired- Mint condition front fenders, modified kouki bumper, the rest of the kouki kit, Garage S hood, etc
Interior is still major lacking right now, but at least I have my new cluster in there haha
As for the white car, nothing has changed except that I bought a panache steering column cover for it-
That’s about it for now, more updates on both cars coming soon
