90KAcoupe · 01-01-2008, 07:31 PM

actually no. none of it was.. its all been beedblaster and painted.. its all been painted with either wheel paint (which is really strong) or laquer paint.. so it all sticks really wheel and doesn't chip off. i tried using something on a couple of the bolts and it chipped off but i only used it on a couple of bolts. the rest of the bolts the paint stuck fine.. and didnt chip when u tightened them up

ms!3 · 01-01-2008, 07:33 PM

haha nice. i used silver engine enamel and the clear enamel then baked it in the oven. came out really strong, very similar to powder coat.

90KAcoupe · 01-01-2008, 07:34 PM

yea i forgot to add thats wat i used on my bolts were silver paint baked on there.

DreamN · 01-01-2008, 07:37 PM

This is exactly what I have planned for my coupe. Only difference is I have a Silvia front and my car's black. I'll be going with a black/gold theme. Hopefully you won't mind me taking some ideas from you that I would have never thought about.

Could you PM me the types of paints you used please? It'd make things easier for when I start doing all the detailing on my car. Plus I like to hoard stuff before I do it

RHS13KNetics · 01-01-2008, 07:45 PM

16 years old O_O where the hell u get ur money

s13Dr1ft · 01-01-2008, 07:50 PM

Keep up the good work.

$283bajillion .. i honestly dont know. i dont plan on selling it. I've done so much work to it, it would be hard to get the actual value out of it. I would probably trade it if the right trade was offered.. something like a really clean E36 325I or a nice ae86 coupe.. and possibly a RX3 or 240z.

DreamN · 01-05-2008, 12:02 PM

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm hoping I'll be able to detail my coupe this summer.

inertiaticism · 01-05-2008, 03:11 PM

Very nice looking, your car reminds me of an S13 version of my project, only you didn't start with a shitbox.

One thing though, You should try rerouting the brake lines around the bottom of the engine bay, like right over the tranny tunnel.
It makes the bay look 100x cleaner imho and is free.

You pretty lucky to have a dad who gives you a hand with stuff like this, you're building a cleaner car than I've seen some shops build as demo cars even if your parts aren't as flossy.

90KAcoupe · 01-06-2008, 12:37 AM

^^ wouldnt route it down there.. the higher up the better.. the lower you mount them the hotter they will get and cause ur brakes to fade sooner on a track day.

90KAcoupe · 01-16-2008, 12:14 AM

My piggy is finally off jackstands... but its not done yet.... sorry about the crappy pics my camera has a scratched lense so it wont focus right.

heres some pics

need to finish wiring harness, weld up exhaust, and mount radiator (+ fans, coolant, and the other accessories)

PhAtXSuMo · 01-16-2008, 12:17 PM

your car is super clean, love it hope you get that running soon!

Rusker · 01-16-2008, 02:35 PM

Wow your car is looking good. Can't wait to see some outdoor photos with a nice camera.

driftyour40 · 01-16-2008, 02:39 PM

very clean man, I need a garage. and you need a camera, lol. +1 for you

90KAcoupe · 02-05-2008, 04:09 PM

Here is the valve cover to my project. the camera doesnt do it justice. but let me know what yall think.

i've done a bunch of stuff lately but its mainly alot of small things. its getting close.

drftwerks · 02-05-2008, 05:04 PM

i THINK YOU NEED A NEW FUCKING CAMERA

axiomatik · 02-05-2008, 07:00 PM

from what I can tell, valve cover looks gorgeous. but man is it hard to tell with that camera you're using.
