Photos of my SilEighty work in progress

[nsany(atl)]

Well, with a little help from my friends, I have removed all of the wiring, and anything in the motor bay. The first shot is of the C-West front and The Trust intercooler. Second photo is of the freshley painted motorbay, we have not shot the clear coat on it yet or sanded out the trash.

The car will have a full C-west kit, X-tail, and X-tail lights,Apex-i exhaust and a SR. Can't wait.

Looking Great!

I wish my 240SX was not my only car. I can feel the fever of a project like that.

Looking really Great!

Anyways, maybe you should have drilled the holes for the clutch M/C ! :aw:

and painted the brake booster, that thing looks like crap. the bay looks good though.

Hmm, I see an evaporator... are you keeping A/C in that car?

[Y3llowS14]

Did you just masked off the hoses and master cylineder or did you take it off when you painted your engine bay. Nice engine bay btw. Is there a purple pearl in the paint also? Looks really nice.

What trust intercooler is that for? My S13/VSPL is like twice as wide.:confused:

That bumper makes the intercooler look small- pictures can be deceiving:bash:

It will be repainted along with all the other black pieces in the motor area.

Yes, I am keeping the A/C. It will be a lot of work, but it will be worth it. I am going to use the digital climate control also.

We masked off all the lines that we could not pull off.
There is alot of pearl in the paint and I think the is a little purple in there also.

It is a small intercooler, the SR is going to stay stock for a while so no need to create lag with a huge front-mount

The reason the colors look diff. is b/c of all the pearl in the paint. For some reason it does not like to be photographed from straight on, the color of the side skirts and the photos of the car are closer to what it really looks like
