It looks fine the way it is, they should just be glad you've fixed it from being a junked shell as you said. Biggest fucking moaners I've ever seen yet on this forum

Well seeing as how the convo was deleted, i dont know what was being said. Although I will say, the car is looking great. Love the overfenders, they just need to be molded. I would go with the old rims (that i still want to know what they are), and get rid of the z-style front fenders. But none the less, the car looks great. Build it the way you want it.

I seen this car in person before he bought it, and trust me he did save it.

I've also seen this dudes last build and he ususally buys good parts and doesn't cut any corners, so Im sure he'll do the same with this one.

My only question is, why build a replica of your old car?

Hey man! Another fellow Oklahoma homie!

I liked that car the most. I didn't like the fact it was RHD, and the wheels were 18x13 -20...Needless to say it was to big of a wheel. My new set of Equip wheels are 18x11 -30 rear 18x10 -30 front.

Small update.

Installed a bracket that came with my PBM hydro E brake kit. It was easy to install. Almost a bolt in deal. I am going to make a carbon fiber panel to hold two gauges right next to the hydro e brake handle. I want this car to have full interior.












Painted my calipers. Even though I got R33 Fronts now..i know HUGE difference! lol




Next is rebuild them, and new pads.

your car looks great

to hell with all these people moaning about what your car should look like. I'm sure if they posted their car we would all have the same comments

all cars with the same style = lame

grow up people.

I like how the front bumper crash bar came out, nice work. Can't wait till you've finished the body work-I'm loving that Rocketbunny or whatever rear spoiler.

I lowered the rear about another 1/2 inch. The side skirts I got do not fit, I think we have to cut them in 3 sections, and re-mold them into place.

As promised. Here is the fitting install/routing. Best i can explain.

Line 1 goes from rear of master, to line.
Line 2 goes from front of master to block


Here is what the two fittings look like



Here is what the other fittings look like. 2 90s, 2straights. They can only go in one way.


This is where you tap the lines in.


Make sure you use a line wrech 10mm. It will be tight.


Hard line removed from block


Fitting 1 that goes to block


Fitting 2 that goes to hardline


Fitting 1 installed (line goes to rear of master)


Fitting 2 installed (line goes to front of master)
