I loved everything done to the car except for the power steering reservoir which although very nice, looked too store bought and drew too much attention from the engine bay. So I asked him to try and hide the tank near the radiator support and swan neck the filler cap. There was this odd cutout on the driver side front rail so he used it. This is what he came up with and I love it so much better. It's now an interesting detail instead of an afterthought IMO. Everything else was so custom and interesting that I felt the PS can derserved the same treatment.

The before first of course. Also, the coolant lines and swirl pot.

The car comes home tomorrow for the first time in 2.5 years.

this is one of the most fantastic and high quality builds on zilvia.
out of curiosity, why go with worm clamps instead of small t bolt clamps for the coolant hoses?

RVAE34

Thank you! I plan to swap out those clamps.

The car is home for the first time in 2.5 years and I am so impressed with the work by Freed Engineering!

updates please! suspense is killing me

RVAE34

Haha, yes, lots of updates.

First of all, I am now an official member of the Speedhunters family as a content provider which is an incredible honor!

Here are my first two features. More to come.

The chassis harness for the relays and lights etc is done being lengthened and snaked through the fenders and under the front lower rad support so now it will be completely invisible. The fuel lines are all run to the tank and I just need to put the flex fuel sensor in place. New pump is in the tank.

The custom power steering reservoir was painted to match the car. All the exterior trim is on the car now except for the windshield trim as the glass will go back in last.

Custom rear lower heim shock mounts are in and fixed all of the rear issues. The S13 lowers were binding on the rubber bushing due to the angle and the tube was touching one of the lower arm bolts. No more bind and clearance was vastly improved.

Headlights are fully installed as is the bumper bar. I am hoping to get the fenders and front bumper back on the car this weekend. Tail lights are in and a friend who has done a lot of the custom fab and wiring is on the way now to help with more electrical as well as getting the rear hatch on the car.

Next will be the engine harness and battery cables.

Man, oh man! This is truly shaping up to be a masterpiece. It was really nice seeing you pop up on SH...and rightfully so!

I still just love that color. When do we get to see the seat upholstery? Plaid inserts maybe?

I bought the seats 2 years ago. Bride Stradia II with gradient fabric and carbon/kevlar backs.
