First coat of clear got sprayed last night. Skirt's Valance's and bumpers are beings sprayed today should be done with clear/wet-sanding/buff and polish by mid maybe late next week. Taking a bit longer than I anticipated. But dam I could not be happier with the results. This guy really knows how to lay down paint.

Paint is dry and assembly has started. Wet sanding this week and then buff and polish.

Still need to mount the skirts and valances but wet sanding comes first.
The guys at the paint shop are funny as rad as hell lol..



The next pics I'll have will be after all the wet sanding and buff and polish. Beyond stoked to get the car back.

Thanks man, I love a good fitted and kitted car just like the next guy but am planning on keeping this car for a while and really wanted to do a more "resto-mod" style on it. Working for Nissan has given me more of an appreciation for original parts and all the little optional odds and ends.

Picked the car up from paint last night. And wow.. All I can say is just Wow.. If anyone in DFW needs paint and body done Alltech Garage in East Dallas does phenomenal work. I am just astounded with how well the car came out. It is insanely glossy. Probably doing a little photoshoot this weekend with some high rez and sunlight.

















And now she is finally sitting back at home. Trying to get some body trim vinyl and something to put my K's side badges on with right now but here it is as it sits.. And I can't get mad about all the DorkiDori parts either. Came out great Lenn

This world needs more two tones. End story. More specifically seafoam's like yours and the creamy white and browns..

Haha last year when yokoi from MCR Factory first came, I drove him and Travis around a bit and he was telling me how two tones are extremely rare in Japan now too. Nobody does them anymore, so I fully agree with you. If I ever build another coupe, two tone for sure.

Snapped a couple of pics, Probably putting in my new HUD dash tomorrow along with the DCC and hooking up the Coolbox for when my new ac compressor comes in. The build is not dead.. K's badges and rear Silvia badge are on now that paint has cured.


I need to get some shots with something better than a phone though lol.. So much exposure these do not do the paint justice.

Looks great. Also, how much did that paint job cost you? I also have a two-tone and it too needs some paint bodywork.

I got a really good deal, they only charged me 3250, mainly because they WANTED to do the car and grow advertising for their shop. They did 3k worth of body work IMO and then a stupid amount of wet-sanding making a mirror finish on the paint. I had quotes from other shops up to 6k. But this shop had a couple of insanely clean s14's and 86's in the back lot so I knew it was in good hands lol.

Finally got around to putting my HUD dash in and relocated my radio to clean up the dash a bit.


WOOT WOOT RHD UNCRACKED HUD DASH!



I also took out the GT-R style grille and put in the small letter Silvia Garnish for the past Import Face-off out in Ennis Texas last weekend.


Not even sure why I bought a daily though since my 80CF Argon tank Mig welder and all of my take home tools fit in the trunk of the coupe... Oh well..



Went by my friend Chris's place (I think his tag on here is Asuka) to get started on his tubs! I love fab work... May be needing some tubs on my car in the near future.... I never realized how much dam clearance it actually gives.



Probably would have gotten more done on the tubs but later that week at work I had a safety lock on my pocket knife break and it closed up and cut through a flexer tendon and had a blast waiting 2 hours in the lobby to get stitches that was fun.

Sorry to hear about your finger man. I am local to you and I love your build! i was wondering if you were planning on taking it out to cars and coffee or any meets anytime soon? I would love to be able to see it in person and even possibly film it. I make car videos for youtube and love the way your car turned out.

Not trying to be a party pooper but did BEE R change their style up or what? They don't look like the sweet ass aggressive one's from back in the day. I've never seen them with so much dish and no concavity. Those are the whole reason they look so mean and your center sections look different.
