Paul's S13 Odyvia Convertible Build
I just started the rebuild on my Vert. I have gone with the Spirit-Rei Odyvia widebody kit. Here are some pictures of how far along the car has come over the past 2 years.
This should set things off.... At Summit Point WV. Full Origin Lab Stylish Silvia body kit and PJ Bonifiacco 50mm fender flares. Origin Lab door caps and Type II wing and...... my cat Professor Meowingtons Convertible wing being shaved. First time sprayed Sprayed again Matte White At Mischief.TV's booth for 2013 Ocean City Car Show Getting sprayed for the fourth time.... First Hit & Run..... Second Hit & Run in a month.... Hit again!!! Hit while parked a fourth time!! Luckily I caught them this time. ChargeSpeed Aero I never really went with and sold to go Odyvia widebody I sold my Silkroads coilovers to go with a new set of UpGarage Up Spec Damper coils. Last shot of the car while it was complete and clean. Boxes of "Overnight parts from Japan" Test fitting kit I will post up more pics and updates on how it's coming along. Feel free to ask any questions.

Every time I got hit is while the car is parked Perhaps there are some angry fathers out there that read the windshield sticker.......

Some updates
I need to borrow a friend's engine hoist so I can drop the motor this week and clean up the bay. Soooo Spirit-Rei includes 5 pages of instructions on installing the kit and cutting up the radiator support to fit these big ass minivan headlights..... Problem is I don't read Japanese. Hahaha!!

My Pedobear costume, lol Current wheel set up on the car is AME Shallen CX 18x9.5+10 & 18x10-16. Alex owner of WheelFlip in CA is building a Odyvia his build thread is on here as well. He has been very helpful in my conversion and is building my new set of wheels. I am trying avoid using any kind of spacer unless it is for caliper clearance. Otherwise what is the point of going widebody if not to fit more tire??

Thanks bro!!! I sent you the sneak peak pictures on the new wheels. I'm trying to catch up to your status bro. You have more sets of shoes for your car than some kids on here have for their feet!!!
It will never be "done" but I hope to have the car ready by June.

Some recent updates.
I'm trying to do a wire tuck without pulling the dash. I don't want to crack the dash so we cut the harness. Going with a front facing intake manifold and cutting the front wheel wells for some wheel clearance. New wheels are being built by Alex from WheelFlip and will be here sometime next week. Sizes are 18x10-26 & 18x13-6 (6 inch & 7 inch lips). Alex is also building an Odyvia, follow his thread for updates on his build. Sneak peak of new wheel set up. Before picture...... After

I guess I'm not the first to do it. They make the kit for 240's. It was only a matter of time before somebody put it on a Vert. I guess he beat me too it. I don't want what is left of the body line by the door handle that goes down the middle of the car there. So I will shave it and I have a set of Origin Lab door caps that will be trimmed to make the whole skirts and doors flush. I need to do something about the grill. It sags in the middle and makes the whole front look like it's drooping. I have an extra ChargeSpeed CF grill I may cut up and make fit.
The kit is not even close to bolt on. Every hole for the fenders doesn't line up so they have to be tended to. Hood brackets have to be cut and modified to make the hood fit properly and sit flush. Pulling an all nighter to finish this poor financial investment, aka my car.
