I splurged on some JdM goodies... ;-)
2x Bride Stradia Low Maxx Carbons.
1 x extra seat padding
front s13 add-on lip
rollcage cross bars
harness bar
side intrusion bars
new grille... (not sure what type, help me out)
s13 radiator/headlight supports
bride matching interior cloth and headrests.

rough fitted the lip i bought...

I cant actually drive anywhere with it on, so instead I’ll have it put aside for shows etc... cant tell me its not low enough now..
A while back I bought a helmet off a mate to do track days with... i didn’t like it plain black, so i did up some possible designs.

and came up with my final design...

so began a project neither my GF’s bro (apprentice spraypainter) or myself had done before....

I decided on a colour loosly based on mazda velocity red.. with an addition of bronze pearl.... i wanted it to really pop in the light.

looks pretty flat atm... but just wait... ;-)

;-)
So then came to masking... looking back now I’d do the process very differently...

now the second stage of paint...

The moment of truth..:
;-/

I wish that I had spent more time aligning the masking decals... was a prick of a job and just got fed up... after all its all a massive learning curve.

watch this space for the final stage of painting. ;-)
Have the brides in... ;-)
and also did some other things too...

dont mind the mess...
shift boot is not quite finished... but have matched the stitching of the seats red thread to the shift boot too...
The vents turned up from Canada, so just gotta make shit work with the vent gauge cluster....
the gauge hoods will probably be coming off now cos it wont match... unless i get real cluey and have the center hood still there... over the vent 0.o
might start that tonight...
now... QUIZ time guys, what are those vents out of..? ;-)
