actually no. none of it was.. its all been beedblaster and painted.. its all been painted with either wheel paint (which is really strong) or laquer paint.. so it all sticks really wheel and doesn't chip off. i tried using something on a couple of the bolts and it chipped off but i only used it on a couple of bolts. the rest of the bolts the paint stuck fine.. and didnt chip when u tightened them up

haha nice. i used silver engine enamel and the clear enamel then baked it in the oven. came out really strong, very similar to powder coat.

This is exactly what I have planned for my coupe. Only difference is I have a Silvia front and my car's black. I'll be going with a black/gold theme. Hopefully you won't mind me taking some ideas from you that I would have never thought about.

Could you PM me the types of paints you used please? It'd make things easier for when I start doing all the detailing on my car. Plus I like to hoard stuff before I do it

$283bajillion .. i honestly dont know. i dont plan on selling it. I've done so much work to it, it would be hard to get the actual value out of it. I would probably trade it if the right trade was offered.. something like a really clean E36 325I or a nice ae86 coupe.. and possibly a RX3 or 240z.

Very nice looking, your car reminds me of an S13 version of my project, only you didn't start with a shitbox.

One thing though, You should try rerouting the brake lines around the bottom of the engine bay, like right over the tranny tunnel.
It makes the bay look 100x cleaner imho and is free.

You pretty lucky to have a dad who gives you a hand with stuff like this, you're building a cleaner car than I've seen some shops build as demo cars even if your parts aren't as flossy.

90KAcoupe

^^ wouldnt route it down there.. the higher up the better.. the lower you mount them the hotter they will get and cause ur brakes to fade sooner on a track day.
