Well you do great work. I just got certified in Mig welding and i am in the process of getting certified in TIG as well. Fabricating and cars interest me and it was interesting to see what all can be done with welding/fab work to make a car great. Besides the standard welding/ bending pipe for the Intercooler and such. Im just amazed, from the tack welds on the floor pan to the custom made motor mounts, the custom cage and everything in between.
Great job man keep the updates coming.

http://racingsouthwest.com/forums/in...howtopic=31576
and..... yes it is 27 pages in case you were wondering.
God, this is why i dont say shit on this site cause everyone is so ready to freakin flame someone!! Read and comprehend before you start talkin shit.
NE ways good job Gav. Sorry had to vent.

StickNMove · 03-19-2007, 10:08 PM

looks good..... What size tubing(looks 1.5), and wall thickness did you use for the rollcage??

wannabe_drifter · 03-26-2007, 08:22 AM

Can't wait for updates/see finished car ...
Don't do like so many other build tread and stop after half the car is done and we never hear (well read!) about it again. Would be sweet to see it completed

misfitsfreak81 · 03-26-2007, 09:33 PM

civilized_drifter · 03-26-2007, 09:35 PM

xblack240x · 03-26-2007, 11:15 PM

Kind of late, but just went through all the pages and love what you're doing with the car. I wish I had the time as well as all the equipment to do all of that (not to mention the skills)... Anyways, keep up the hard work and keep us updated

94cc0rd · 03-27-2007, 03:32 AM

wow.. thats amazing to hear that you work 2 jobs and go to school full time and still have this project going... keep it up!! 2 thumbs up

300hp owen · 03-27-2007, 05:50 AM

yeah, more pics!

atutt · 03-27-2007, 07:04 PM

Just curious. Why didn't you TIG weld the roll cage?

Gavster · 04-01-2007, 11:04 AM

Sorry for the lack of updates guys...school is winding down and really kicking my ass...but i still have updates for you, but im gonna answer a few questions first.

atutt, I didnt tig my cage because the welder wasnt in my possesion yet

StickNmove, the cage is DOM, .095x1.5

As always, thanks for all the praise and compliments guys, it means a lot to me!!

As for my update, I have been spending time prepping the car for final paint. The engine bay is all sanded as well as about 1/4 of the interior and the whole trunk. The plan is to spray the interior, jambs, trunk and engine bay at my house, and take the car to a booth to do the rest. My VS kit will be here the week after next I hope so then Itll be ready for the booth. Did I mention I really hate sanding by now

LOL. Also, my dash board was royally eff'd from the airbags going off from the previous owner...well since im re-wrapping the dash, I went ahead and repaired it with fiberglass and bondo...again, I hate sanding hahhaha...also look at my paint!! Pics:

Prepped Bay:

Pwned dash

Sizing up the fiber

Laid...

Done with the fiber

I <3 Bondo

Repaired and ready for wrapping

Mmmmmm paint! Its slate grey metallic off the 07-08 Maximas/Altimas

Thanks for lookin guys!

jobestudios · 04-01-2007, 03:59 PM

Freaking nice, that colour is gonna be absolutely awesome as well. Are you wrapping it in suede I assume? Will you be able to take off your exhaust/intake manifold and valve covers with the engine that far back?

mr_240sx · 04-01-2007, 08:20 PM

gavster its looking great....cant wait to see the paint on the car!

Slidin240Wayz · 04-01-2007, 08:43 PM

Very Nice.

I nominate it as the "2007 Zilvia Car of the Year".

Does Zilvia even has such a thing...now it does, because of me.

Why nominate him?

- He does more than 90% of the work in his garage

- He is doing something nobody else has tried on the forum

- The work is pristine

The qualifications and validity of this award have not been verified yet.

I also nominate DousanPG for this award while I am at it.

More to come...

bardabe · 04-01-2007, 09:17 PM

dude.. this is like just *drool* wow.

*NemeGuero* · 04-01-2007, 10:23 PM

More details on wrapping the dash, por favor.

420sx · 04-01-2007, 10:34 PM

dang thats what i was gonna do to my dash

you should have integrated some gauge pillars in it. that color is going to bling! good job

mdigiamm · 04-01-2007, 10:41 PM

what what what??? u show us the paint wet in the can but not on the car. feel like im at a titty bar... yea rub them in my face but kick me out if i touch.. WTF?

j/k... but really thats a tease

*CleanS14* · 04-02-2007, 08:31 AM

Gavin wrapping your dash in suede is so 2006! J/P man... looks good so far, you going to one color this thing or two?

Gavster · 04-14-2007, 05:53 PM

One color Jay, two tone is hot, but Id rather keep in one color!

Small updates....

So today was just a bit cooler than I had hoped, so in the interest of nice paint, I only finished prepping the car's interior for paint. I hate sanding...that is all. OH...and I did get some parts today! Scored a pretty fresh T3/T4 60 Trim, .63 stage 3 wheel from a friend as well as a Tial 38. Should easily satisfy my power needs for now (as well as my budget) and be responsive on a 6 cyl....I have plans to ultimately use a GTxx turbo. Anywho...my Origin Kit will be here next week and paint is imminent! Stay tuned...pics:

mmm mmmm..

the real deal...no fake shiz here

dirty gate

All sanded

sanded more

Thx for peepin the setup!

ayuaddict · 04-14-2007, 06:23 PM
