Negative sir, no longer have the iwata, im a sata jet dude. I was not really a fan of the iwata,but no doubt it is awesome when someone prefers them. I stick with a 3000 rp for clear at the moment.



Guy got his beautiful brand new carpet in, man it looks amazing. Grant and I will probably be helping him hang the doors this weekend so he can build them. Hes already been offered over 6 figures for the car, and he hasn't even put the thing together yet. Were terribly excited to see this thing finished, look for it at springfest as he has agreed to show it.

 

He has parts laid out all over his house and living room, its awesome




His recently purchased 84 euro carrera, missing the hood as we stole it to paint it. Likes the hood so much, might have us just repaint the whole car!



Another picture of the carpet installed. It's almost a shame interior is going to cover up most of it!

 

We spent a few hours with the owner helping him get some stuff on yesterday. really starting to come together.














Held the bumper up just to get a peek of what it would look like. GOD THIS THING IS GONNA BE BEAUTIFUL.




Gorgeous brand new headliner.





And these freaking insane sick seats, all this shit is brand freaking new.







and the other Porsche he picked up that we did the hood on the other day.

 

helped a little bit tonite getting hood bolted up and one of the fenders mocked just to see, god jesus this thing is beautiful.

fender and hood are covered in white dust in these pics too, not sure what kinda parties this guy has been having hahha

 

I have been fucking jealous of him for a long ass time, i remember jumping on my skate board and riding past his house just to see what project he was working on when i was a kid, he flips Porsches faster than most Honda kids, but he makes a killing off them

 

Yea for sure, but if you calculate the time he spends hes probably losing money ha. We spent an hour lining the hood up last night. He has a great eye for detail, but he certainly makes money on them. With all the brand new shit he has for this car hes got to have at least 90k into this car, beetween the wheels, the motor, shell, conversion parts and paint that's probably 75-80 right there, the custom interior stuff couldn't have been cheap. He mentioned hes already been offered a buck and a half for it and turned it down, and the car isnt even done yet. I'm pretty certain once he gets the 200k offer it'll be gone.

 

Any update on this project? I was came across some old photos I took of the Sunoco car he built.

 

Its coming together, we stopped by there the other day and he was having trouble fitting up one of his doors, he's thinking of getting another one if he cant seat it right, its like 1/16 of an inch off, nobody would notice it except him. I just finished bodywork on the different hood thats going on and got it primed, gotta block it down and make sure its proper. Hoping to have that done by next weekend. He mentioned he got the tranny tore apart and that should be done soon, motor is brand new waiting to go in.

 

UPDATE


The second hood that we had to repaint, has been painted, and just now needs Rick's magical finishing touch.


Sam, the owner, did not end up sourcing another passenger door ( as stated, the fitment was on 99%, not 100) but finessed it into place like it should be.

Neither Rick nor I have had a chance to help over the past two weeks, I apologize for the lack of updates. The next two pictures are of the interior....







The color combo goes together so well, its like cocaine and waffles. He originally asked me months ago what I thought before seeing them, and I was not too keen. Now, seeing the doors, brand new seats, the pimp ass carpet. This car is gonna get bitches so wet he's gonna have to saran wrap the seats.

 

G and I brought over the correct, newly refinished hood today, fits like a goddamn glove.




Then got windshield and fenders back on so Sam the owner can tweak the fitment to perfection.





After Grant left Sam said he was just gonna sit there and stare at it for a while, haha. He is beyond stoked right now..



Then we discussed the next massive carerra project that should be in the shop in a week or two. Really looking forward to that one, should be here from cali next week. Big things, big things.
