I have one thing I need help with.
Which lip? and painted or not? Are these headlights and fogs very accurate JDM copies?

Final work to be done after the body and paint.

t3/t4 turbo,chrome pro,drag mani and 3" down pipe.

Should make 300+ on 93 octane and over 400 on race gas @25-27 psi.

hell yea homie, I cant wait to see how it comes out...

[GSRteg®]

Have you thought about joining the EJ-EG squad?

[pebojelly]

no how is this done?

[pebojelly]

someone lay some info in my lap about the lips and headlights and fogs pleeeeease.

[MistaCee]

Oh I'd get a type R lip with the #2 Lights. Nice project I was going to buy it on CL but chickened out lol

[PURP]

head lights no... JDM eg6 head lights look just like USDM lights but are plastic and don't have the 3 nipples on them... corners are copies of Visions who is a Japanese company... fogs are replicas aswell... but corners and fogs would look sexy on it but headlights should be left alone or get the actual JDM ones...

Looks good so far from what you've done. +reps

[pebojelly]

NO MORE RUST YAY

The work progress pics where taken from my friends camera phone and will be loaded tomorrow.
I am selling my rota's to buy the paint and supplies to base clear this and get the lip and fogs.
Not that i am totally broke but i have sold all the spare parts off this car and everything has paid for the repairs and work done thus far.
And no this is not rattle can primer either,just old ugly gray,lol.

Looks way better without the rust and I even like the primar better than the blue, that blue was really ugly..... But a nice champ white ans some polished slipstreams would look awesome.
