sorry i havent updated in forever. im still waiting to ship the car off to izzys. where they will be building my front end and attaching my silvia front.

ill update with pictures as they arrive.

Hoffman5982 · 11-14-2012, 09:09 PM

Am I missing where you announced that you were going RB? That came straight out of left field man. Glad you're saving the shell!

*andrew600* · 11-14-2012, 09:18 PM

yea it was a last minute thing. i was either going to do that or ls1 again. and the rb literally fell into my lap. so i couldnt pass up the deal. this particular rb put down 245 to the wheels where its at. id like to get it to a modest 275-290 to the wheels and ill be done and happy.

*andrew600* · 11-29-2012, 02:17 PM

i got little bored waiting so i put some gauges in the center vent.

and got my last piece of my front end in.

the car was supposed to go to izzys on wed but i got caught up so im taking it there on saturday morning.

greenwood · 11-29-2012, 04:07 PM

when did you put a 20 in? they are fun engines.

*andrew600* · 11-29-2012, 04:21 PM

near the tail end of the summer. its right at the target range i wanted the sr at, and after some research i couldnt pass it up. its everything i wanted. i havent gotten to do much other than use it to put the car on the trailer, but in roughly a month i should have it on the road.

*andrew600* · 12-01-2012, 05:02 PM

only picture i took today. but its off to izzyz custom cages for the front end build. im so damn excited.

*andrew600* · 12-12-2012, 03:37 PM

so the car is off and i got an update this morning. he chopped off all the half ass shit ty talked me into. and mocked up the front end.
should be more updates semi soon! im getting excited now.

KravingAKouki · 12-12-2012, 05:17 PM

congrats dude! everything is coming together nicely, cant wait to see the finished product

*andrew600* · 12-12-2012, 06:03 PM

me either. some cool updates should be here by this weekend or near the end. i hope to have the car back before the end of the year and on the road within the first week of the year.

*andrew600* · 01-02-2013, 04:20 PM

got an update from scott today. the front end is starting to come together very well. im super excited and cant wait to have the car back

Dustineric1 · 01-02-2013, 05:12 PM

Looks great can't wait to see further progress!

ShadowMan · 01-02-2013, 06:24 PM

Props for pushing on. Glad to see you making more progress. Looking forward to more pictures. Interested in the way your front end turns out. keep it up.

*andrew600* · 01-05-2013, 08:15 PM

so i stopped by the shop today to check out the progress, and man i was i as giddy as a little fuckin school girl. ty took a bunch of pics while we were up there. no explanation just awesomeness. for reference, nothing has actually been mounted, so everything is very loose, scott assured me the finished product would look nothing like today. but heres some pics

KravingAKouki · 01-05-2013, 10:31 PM

Holy shit! this is amazing. I am shocked at how well everything is coming together. great job sticking through the crash where most would have given up. Kudos to you sir

*andrew600* · 01-07-2013, 12:58 PM

yea its coming together very well. im really really hoping to have it back by the end of jan but we will see how it goes. im kinda liking the idea of plasti dip the more i research it. so i may be doing something along those lines for paint.

*andrew600* · 01-09-2013, 05:14 PM

got an update from scott today. coming along very very well. shouldnt be to much longer now!!!

thanks guys, glad to see people are liking it!
thanks guys. im stressing out/excited to have the car back id guess sometime over the next couple weeks. got another update from scott today. aerocatch installed. only some very minor things left to do!

*andrew600* · 01-15-2013, 09:28 PM

and heres were we sit right now. shouldnt be long at all now and i get to have my car home!

*andrew600* · 01-26-2013, 12:46 PM

so i got to stop up at izzys today and check out the car one last time before i pick it up. overall i am more that thrilled with the work done. scott has done an out of this world job with the front end i will be returning to him in the future with some more projects for sure. everything is securely mounted and amazingly crafted. now with that being said i will address some minor things that need attended too. the hood center section is bowed out, not only because its a tiny bit off, of factory specs and i am not using the factory hood latch. now unfortunately i threw it away. but i will be picking one up to correct the issue and get the hood to sit flush. the corner lights have broken tabs on them... no fix, ill need to buy new ones to get them to sit properly. and a couple minor things i need to tackle on my part. ill hopefully be able to pick the car up next weekend. so more updates will be shooting out soon. thanks again to scott rhea at izzys custom cages!

im done rambling, pictars.

*andrew600* · 01-26-2013, 12:49 PM

KoukiMonsta · 01-26-2013, 12:59 PM

*andrew600* · 01-26-2013, 01:01 PM

it was a gauge pod off ebay i got for 15$ shipped. cant beat that.

Slide infantry · 01-26-2013, 05:17 PM

Where did you get those brick head lights ? Sick build btw

*andrew600* · 01-26-2013, 05:52 PM

From a local guy that got them from jdm hookup I think. They are based near stl mo.

Supraman127 · 01-28-2013, 09:30 AM

Nice progress. Where did you pick up the Silvia front from? Besides the headlights...

*andrew600* · 01-28-2013, 09:54 AM

I pieced it together myself.
Grille off eBay. Hood on frsport, fenders off Zilvia.

Overall I have 1300 in the front end. With bricks and a brand new cf hood

*andrew600* · 02-07-2013, 03:32 PM
