Words can't even describe the craziness that this car is becoming.
I don't want you to finish it, because I think I'll have a heart attack from the amazement.

SupaDoopa · 08-22-2013, 02:45 AM

I agree the upper door line should have been filled. It kinda looks out of place now. And is this going to be a hard parked car? Nothing wrong with it but I just figured I'd ask referring to the decision to mold those rears on.

Sezio · 08-22-2013, 09:56 AM

is it gonna be ready for the K1 meet?

Jissan · 08-22-2013, 10:48 AM

Dyin' to see this car finally come together!

Instead of shaving that line and making the car look plain, I did my best to make it flow (fender vent lined up, line blended into quarter panel). Also, I think it's kind of ghetto to not mold on overfenders - just my opinion though.

As for being hard parked... well I did not build it for show but time will be the teller of what I end up using the car for. Mainly, I wanted to be happy with the way it looked first because that's what motivates me to drive it rather than let it sit in my shop. Free time even on weekends is a rare thing but I'd love to take it on a nice weekend drive up in the mountains with friends and maybe do some open drifting events once in a blue moon. I don't intend to smash the car into anything if that is what you're implying.

SupaDoopa · 08-22-2013, 12:36 PM

Yeah, that's kind of what I was getting at. The rears normally aren't molded on so they're easier to derivet, fix underlying damage, and replace them if needed. Molded on rears is kinda fingers crossed no one is stupid enough to hit you or you have TOO much fun and tap something. Granted it's fixable, just more hassle.

Regardless, the car looks stellar. I can't wait to see it sit on it's wheels you intended for it. Any ETA on that even if it's just a side profile teaser?

Dusty spy shot stolen from Instagram.

SupaDoopa · 08-22-2013, 04:26 PM

Bottom grille has that whole BMW thang going on.

Ratpack_Chad · 08-22-2013, 04:34 PM

Im so conflicted...

SupaDoopa · 08-22-2013, 04:48 PM

The color I dig.

The kit, I'm not sure if I like it. It looks like too many different things smashed together. It's different but I'd have to see the car completely done before I can say if it works out.

I wish it was just a slightly modified version of the original kit. We'll see.

I like it so far, once he paints the mesh grill it's going to look a lot better.
For now that unpainted chicken-wire looking mesh is giving me 2001 flashbacks

alexisthemovie · 08-22-2013, 09:27 PM

Painting the top grille black and ripping out the bottom one (intercooler). The bodyshop just installed it because they thought i wanted it there.

Notice that I skyjacked the shit out of it. Bringing it to my shop tomorrow morning and had to make sure it'd make it onto the back of a flatbed.

SupaDoopa · 08-22-2013, 09:32 PM

Can we get a perfectly sideways profile shot tomorrow? I'm tempted to see how far out the chin of that front bumper sticks out.

NoPistons! · 08-22-2013, 09:54 PM

Good gracious that's visually appealing. Nice work.

jdizzy204 · 08-22-2013, 10:33 PM

Don't really understand the yellow accents.

silviaks2nr · 08-22-2013, 11:03 PM

Projector fog lights with molded abs surrounds and form fitting LED drls could look really cool in the sides. Not sure if you had something planned for there

Was originally going to use the black bison foglight surrounds with Mercedes fog lights but my intercooler piping gets in the way.

silviaks2nr · 08-22-2013, 11:17 PM

You might have to model up and mold (vacuum form) something yourself with a different light source then. There are a lot of newer benz and bmw with LED fogs that could be good donors.

I just think it's an attractive color combo.

'Course there will be future additions to tie it in (Brembo brake calipers, some form of hood spoiler, vinyl, etc)

The reason why I did not do that was because I wanted the car to have a more sporty demeanor rather than something that people would just dismiss as "oh look, a VIP style S13"

Believe me, I have a shitload of renderings and I did my best to plan the build out before setting forth to do it.

Sezio · 08-23-2013, 09:35 AM

throw a 1uz in there! lol

datboibrad · 08-23-2013, 10:19 AM

Im really surprised you didnt cut the side skirts down where they overlap the fenders so you could do more with the vent on the fender. Is it finished or do you plan on adding more to it?

keifer · 08-23-2013, 10:50 AM

I love the kit, and once you said you were painting the top grill black and getting rid of the bottom one for the intercooler, it wasn't a riced out kit from fast and furious. Quality work on the body so you know it will be quality work on the engine.

ayuaddict · 08-23-2013, 03:33 PM

I enjoy how people see these photos, and the first thought generated by their brain is "how I would change it".

P.S. not gonna lie, since that text - I've been a bit conflicted about which car to finish now.
