So I finished the metal work about 6 weeks ago..... Have been busy with many things and at the end of the year I'll no longer have space at my house, so Ive had to re-arrange some things in my life. Anyway....

Cooler, radiator and oil cooler are all mounted to the rad support, and can be removed with it.













The bonnet(hood) doesn't sit 100% because the rubbers aren't in it. Alas, Toli has taken it back to his place where it will undergo further modifications. Thats it from me, updates will now come from Tom and Toli for the rest of the car.

Ok....
For those waiting on the big dollar purchase...


Lets just leave it at that....

great work mate

So I decided to finish the front drivers side.

It was raining pretty heavy and I was planing on using my clothes line pole to bend a curve into the sheet. I found the next best thing..







I also did a little bit of stitch welding, wont make much difference, but meh.





Then I broke the top off a bottle of beer.... Since its against the law to waste alcohol, I did what any man would do, use paint filters and filter the beer into another empty bottle.



Time to make the mounting points for the rad support which I am yet to make.





Over the years brake fluid had taken its toll on the drivers rail. Surface rust covered it all the way under the car and it had even caused rust under some of the painted surfaces. Toli got under and brought it all back to clean, bare metal.



I finished shaving the holes on that side, Cleaned it up and put it in etch primer.







And thats as far as we got, by next weekend I hope to be at the same point on the other side.

Thats what they're for..... why else would you spend thousands of dollrs on wheels? To use them? I think not.

[Craig Winters]

You got your wheels dirty man.

[Oxer]

You got my wheels dirty man.

Those fronts arent the ones you made Craig, they are mine.....

[TRaNz]

fak.
pinstripe dem flameszzzzzzzz

[Craig Winters]

And since toli's rear bar add-on came in, he wanted to mock it all up. Close to how it will sit, only instead of my 17" M7's, he'll run his 16" M7's. Pics for the stance kids lol.







I was trying yo convince Toli to let me give the car an intense flame job, but he is extremely far from convinced.

You got my wheels dirty man.

Such a super cool build - definitely following this till the end! I'm in love with the fabrication work and the fact you've combined the best part of a Honda (did I just say that?) with the legacy of a Silvia.

Keep it up!
