S14 Kouki Build #3 - Restomod, JDM Aero, Clean and Classy.

I really like the direction this build is going, gives me some motivation to work on my 97 kouki that has been sitting for the last 4ish years.

I will give him credit for that. He did an excellent job at cleaning up and removing all of the old seam sealer and prepping it for welding. Although he did have a completely different plan and direction for this car, fortunately it wasn't too far gone in that direction that I couldn't work with it.

I love your builds and they inspire me to be as attentive in my builds as you are in yours. I cant wait for the next update(s)

Fingers crossed that I actually complete this one.

Gabe, I'll DM you directly to let you know when you need to log on again. I'd say sometime around 2023. Hahaha

Haha, yeah. It was always priorities for me. House purchase when I was younger, getting married, having kids and focusing on my family relationships after leaving my fairly toxic job at Toyota.

The biggest reason for the delays on my red Hatch when I was younger was that I felt my technical/mechanical skills weren't up to par for the type of build/restoration I had in mind. Now, the knowledge is there and the next hurdle is freeing up space or buying a commercial spot to store everything in.

Don't be like me and let your cars sit for years on end.

I made it my new years resolution that I'll have it registered and back on road this year!
