car is coming out great.

Dima1127 · 09-30-2014, 10:51 AM

subbed, nice build, keep it up

motteramm · 10-01-2014, 04:37 PM

Forgot these other 2 pics of the body all lined up. Still waiting on wetsanding the color before clear and more updates.... Waiting sucks.

motteramm · 10-03-2014, 05:03 PM

First coat of clear got sprayed last night. Skirt's Valance's and bumpers are beings sprayed today should be done with clear/wet-sanding/buff and polish by mid maybe late next week. Taking a bit longer than I anticipated. But dam I could not be happier with the results. This guy really knows how to lay down paint.

Alan240sx · 10-03-2014, 05:12 PM

That paint looks amazing.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 10-03-2014, 06:12 PM

Ya. I have the full kit from you lol. Skirts bumper and valances. I'll definitely pm pics next week. Probably going to do a small photo shoot with a buddy as well.

***dorkidori_s13*** · 10-03-2014, 11:45 PM

Cant wait man! I just got my bumper in this batch. Still in need of a hood!

motteramm · 10-07-2014, 04:41 PM

Paint is dry and assembly has started. Wet sanding this week and then buff and polish.

Still need to mount the skirts and valances but wet sanding comes first.
The guys at the paint shop are funny as rad as hell lol..

The next pics I'll have will be after all the wet sanding and buff and polish. Beyond stoked to get the car back.

Slideways74 · 10-07-2014, 10:23 PM

Well done. Looks great with the factory color and no stupid body kit.

bova17 · 10-07-2014, 10:47 PM

This makes me really want to change up my setup to a two-tone aero, good work.

Super_OK_S13 · 10-08-2014, 07:23 AM

That's a great looking Two-Tone!! Nice job!!

Thanks man, I love a good fitted and kitted car just like the next guy but am planning on keeping this car for a while and really wanted to do a more "resto-mod" style on it. Working for Nissan has given me more of an appreciation for original parts and all the little optional odds and ends.

10psitx · 10-09-2014, 09:01 AM

I was browsing and saw this thread and decided to check it out...whats quite funny i have a two tone as well and guess where the body panels for your RHD conversion went!!. Both Clayton and i do the same business (He's in san angelo and i'm in Austin)and we use the same supplier from Japan so when the opportunity came up to buy the car we went in halfsies...he kept the rhd and drive train and i kept all the panels for my car...small world ...Hope you don't mind me posting some pics...delete if you want

Your coupe and my coupe should get together and make babies.

[/QUOTE] your coupe and my coupe should get together and make babies.[/QUOTE]

hahahaha...that may be a gay union as both or cars look masculine...but i get the point...anyway....your car looks great man,very clean. Did Clayton tell you he's doing a RHD swap coupe as well?

tylerrussell · 10-14-2014, 07:01 PM

Lol two tone RHD coupe in the DFW area, how funny. This was mine I brought with me from Hawaii

But I sold it last year

motteramm · 10-16-2014, 04:43 PM

Picked the car up from paint last night. And wow.. All I can say is just Wow.. If anyone in DFW needs paint and body done Alltech Garage in East Dallas does phenomenal work. I am just astounded with how well the car came out. It is insanely glossy. Probably doing a little photoshoot this weekend with some high rez and sunlight.

And now she is finally sitting back at home. Trying to get some body trim vinyl and something to put my K's side badges on with right now but here it is as it sits.. And I can't get mad about all the DorkiDori parts either. Came out great Lenn

This world needs more two tones. End story. More specifically seafoam's like yours and the creamy white and browns..

Haha last year when yokoi from MCR Factory first came, I drove him and Travis around a bit and he was telling me how two tones are extremely rare in Japan now too. Nobody does them anymore, so I fully agree with you. If I ever build another coupe, two tone for sure.

motteramm · 10-27-2014, 07:35 PM

Snapped a couple of pics, Probably putting in my new HUD dash tomorrow along with the DCC and hooking up the Coolbox for when my new ac compressor comes in. The build is not dead.. K's badges and rear Silvia badge are on now that paint has cured.

I need to get some shots with something better than a phone though lol.. So much exposure these do not do the paint justice.

Apex Eight · 10-27-2014, 08:50 PM

Looks great. Also, how much did that paint job cost you? I also have a two-tone and it too needs some paint bodywork.

future · 10-27-2014, 11:02 PM

Love this shit! Just needs some bricks and it's complete

I got a really good deal, they only charged me 3250, mainly because they WANTED to do the car and grow advertising for their shop. They did 3k worth of body work IMO and then a stupid amount of wet-sanding making a mirror finish on the paint. I had quotes from other shops up to 6k. But this shop had a couple of insanely clean s14's and 86's in the back lot so I knew it was in good hands lol.

vJilly · 10-28-2014, 08:29 AM

awesome car and even better wheels but i have no idea why but those are not workin for me. maybe some rezax? hell i dont know but nonetheless such a great car.

pacotaco345 · 10-28-2014, 09:23 AM

Nice to see you got it done bud, looks great!

motteramm · 11-14-2014, 08:44 AM

Finally got around to putting my HUD dash in and relocated my radio to clean up the dash a bit.

WOOT WOOT RHD UNCRACKED HUD DASH!

I also took out the GT-R style grille and put in the small letter Silvia Garnish for the past Import Face-off out in Ennis Texas last weekend.

Not even sure why I bought a daily though since my 80CF Argon tank Mig welder and all of my take home tools fit in the trunk of the coupe... Oh well..

Went by my friend Chris's place (I think his tag on here is Asuka) to get started on his tubs! I love fab work... May be needing some tubs on my car in the near future.... I never realized how much dam clearance it actually gives.

Probably would have gotten more done on the tubs but later that week at work I had a safety lock on my pocket knife break and it closed up and cut through a flexer tendon and had a blast waiting 2 hours in the lobby to get stitches that was fun.

moostang09 · 12-21-2014, 03:03 PM

Sorry to hear about your finger man. I am local to you and I love your build! i was wondering if you were planning on taking it out to cars and coffee or any meets anytime soon? I would love to be able to see it in person and even possibly film it. I make car videos for youtube and love the way your car turned out.

BossHogg · 12-21-2014, 03:58 PM

Not trying to be a party pooper but did BEE R change their style up or what? They don't look like the sweet ass aggressive one's from back in the day. I've never seen them with so much dish and no concavity. Those are the whole reason they look so mean and your center sections look different.
