bye bye harness

and vola its gone sorry i had no pics of how it looked before

i was just planning on making it just a regular drift car but then i was given 20% of my famillys construction company so now there are funds to make this a baller ass car

heres where the engine bay was getting preped

then vola some paint was applied

and the some clear

so after that was done i got a nice little garage to work on my car and store it as well since i dont have one at my house

i also order my roll cage bars so i had to wait for that to get here didnt take long

so now it was time for a roll cage

after that i got it back to my garage and started ordering some parts
mishimoto cooling system hoses,radiator, and fans

my grip royal steering wheel to match my bay

then it was time to get the interior donee

thats it for now i dont have time to do the rest sorry ! but stay tuned ! you wont be disappointed !

Looks good so far, I would not want to deal with that driver's side door bar setup though. What are ur plans for the build?

Thanks ! And yea I know it's a little two high lol but oh well And I'm just making it look nice lol always wanted to take a stroll down the street with a full body cage lol but as well its for drift events also I have a sponsor for my wheels so you know it's going to be a show car as well at events when we set up a booth.

irritatedmax · 05-04-2013, 05:49 PM

Yeah, door bar looks crazy but the car is looking nice. Maybe downsize the pics for the next update?

What cage is that? Looks like a decent weld-in kit.

TougeLove · 05-04-2013, 05:53 PM

Did i miss what makes it a rolex build?

Looks good though. Nice work!!!

I was hoping by the title you were making a replica 24 hour le mans car. Just saw the Audi R18 mmmmmm

In before the Florida jokes.

Those doorbars look janky as fuck.. Interested to see more.

KiLLeR2001 · 05-04-2013, 05:59 PM

I thought this build was going be about some custom made Rolex watch faces as center caps for wheels.

Told you I'd fullfill what we were going to start

but keep underestimating me

hessianben · 05-05-2013, 08:24 PM

"A fool and his money,,,,"....
Keep in mind, that cash can't buy good planning... If you spent some time talking to reputable builders and coming up with a precise goal before buying a bunch of random parts you'll end up with a better end result. Otherwise.... Subscribed for the 'parting out' thread.

Break into the 500hp club then well talk.

delado · 05-06-2013, 09:49 AM

lol at not buying cheap tools. Craftsman is mediocre at best. Snap-on, Matco, Mac Tools, those are quality tools.

racso_dor · 05-06-2013, 11:22 AM

nice build so far .. are you wearing a rolex as you build this car tho?
