this is my new project done with the old car now this one getting ready for a new motor along with a complete wire tuck and painting the engine bay

did you get this from a guy in Cville? It looks exactly like it, and I thought the job was poorly done when I saw it.

kwin507 07-01-2009 12:12 AM

yea this is the one from cville poorly done and the first owner with the swap did a poor job and rig too many things but its all gone now getting the bay ready for welding un needed holes and shaving it done and ready for paint.

what i did i got the jgy engine mounts and tranny bracket (Top Hat mounts) for the rb25 with the ka trans mount, might be the same with the 20

best thing to do is to find a kit and spend that money. its worth it!

va240dude 06-27-2010 01:10 AM

Wow looking a lot better man, nice to see you doing things right unlike the previous owner. I want some more interior shots of your gauge cluster when you get it hooked up. I have a dash and other stuff for sale just in case you need some interior stuff. Check my thread. Where are you located btw?

NNOCENT 06-30-2010 10:02 AM

is it for sale now?

How did you clean/strip the blue paint off the 962's without eating through the clear coat?

had to take the clear coat off. i put layers of paint thinner all over the wheel let it sit for about 30mins and took it all off.
-low grit from local part stores
-mid grit
-high grit
all wet sands
then polish(speedys polish) , primer(dupli color), paint(dupli color wheel paint), and if you keep on top of your wheels you need no clear
