Punxva's Build
took the dash and interior harness back out of the car, since it has way too many wiring problems (cuts, shorts, ect) and i found another harness on here for cheap (Thanks CrimsonRockett) so that should be here tomorrow, but I went ahead and painted the interior with POR15 rust preventative paint, i'll get better shots today after class...
once again i apologize for the shitty pictures.

i brushed it on, i really wasnt too concerned with it being smooth and shiny like most people do when they paint their interior. plus its like 30 degrees out so i kept it simple. the front will be covered by dmax floor mats.

trunk floor is welded in and seam sealed, waiting for that to dry, so in the mean time i threw the new vertex knockoff front bumper on, it needs some more shaving and it should fit like a glove.... in the pictures it has nothing bolting it on, i need to swap the hardware over from the oem bumper tomorrow...

What did you use as the seam sealer? I was gonna pick up some 3M stuff, but nobody carries that stuff around here locally... I would have had to purchased it from an online retailer to get it.

Oh shit.
Nice. Maybe I'll just send you a few bucks if you could grab me a tube. Beats buying from some online shop that I've never even seen or heard of, and them charging me like $10 for shipping or something absurd like that. lol If you could do that for me, that'd be awesome. |

drove the car today, it has way too much toe in the rear, need to adjust the parts shop max toe arms then we will see how it feels. Threw the floor mats in just to take a pic since i still have a water leak issue so once that's figured out i'll leave them in there.

yeah i got the rears on today, no pictures since we were all business, but swapped the 300zx ebrake and calipers to the stock uprights, 7lbs isn't worth saving for the price of new coilover bottoms from stance lol $40 a piece. i'll have pics up tomorrow once everything is finished

haha awesome, on a side note i'm a little pissed
somehow i manage to give my buddy one task, and that is to take off the 27mm nut off of the back of my 300zx uprights so i can transfer the ebrake assembly to my stock uprights, and he takes it off and then beats it off of the upright, with the nut still on it. Fucked up 2 threads on the nut, lucky for him it wasn't the stud itself, but now i'm stick 3/4 done with my 5 lug swap and can't finish it until i can find a new nut for it. FML

I still have to find some new bolts for the front struts.
I managed to cross thread one of the bolts that holds the front struts to the knuckles when I was taking off the nut. So... yeah... you and me both  |

well got into the body work, shaved the antenna and rear corner markers, and have to re repair some spots on the quarter panel that the previous owner completely fucked up. I didn't really take pictures of the during progress just up to where i'm at now.
and my roommate is putting his wide body on his rx7 today as well haha

Just to let you know, if you don't weld the metal flush when shaving the markers, antenna, etc, and just fill that little dip in with filler, it will eventually sink and be noticeable.
