Wider than it is Long: A build thread.

[Jake2k]

Starting reading this thread last night and finished it today, the cars come a long way and looks absolutely stunning. I've been looking through subie photos for the last few weeks to motivate myself to sale the MK4 and find a bugeye and I had a few of yours saved already but didn't realize this was the same car till I got to the part where you revealed the color haha.

If you're gonna be in Helen for SoWo this year I'd love to get together and do a full shoot of this thing if you have the time(pro bono of course). Not sure what the rules are for posting personal info on these forums are so if you want to grab my number it's on my IG profile: @jacob_workedphotography

Check out my work and if you want send me a text sometime before May and we'll work out a time and place.

Hey guys! Long time no update! Man, I sure have done been doing lots of small stuff. But after WAY too long, I have finally gotten started building a new front bumper!

I started by ordering an ebay rep, just because the real bumper is insanely rare and insanely expensive.
So it finally got here!

As you can see my old one was pretty roasted.





First thing I did was cut it in half and make it useless.



Then started the fiberglass...which is itchy and sucks. I sureeee did miss it.





Those two pictures don't do justice to all the shit and work it took to start putting it together!
and it's finally starting to look like a bumper again!







Anyway, that's where I'm at right now! Hopefully it'll be all done before SoWo!

Also, I think figure might as well update on some of the other pieces I've done on the car!

I sold the TE's to free up some life money, and because they were just so so nice and I worried about daily driving on them.
So I got some Gram Lights 57D's!





Also, I sold my old set of Ganadors and totally fucked uppppp. I had some Chargespeed replica mirrors for a while, but found another set of Ganadors in carbon fiber!
And to match with those, I got a very very rare Ganador exhaust tip. It's a little jdm ricey because it's just a tip, but it was too cool to not get.



And I've also started on a brake upgrade. I got a great deal on a set of Wilwood 6pot/4pot brakes. Although after starting to put them on, I realize the previous owner had done some wonky shit to them so I've been busting ass trying to fix them!





That's all for now!

[GTOguy]
