HOLY BIG BALLS!!! Because that's the kind required to take a mint car like this; basically strip it down & start over. Great fab work & great vision.

[CrackerTeg]

Eagerly waiting for more.

we went over the car today to address body gap concerns/body problems, ideas, paint colours.

more pics soon

[Nicotine]

So, it's been a while since the update. more to come soon!

they finished it at AirAssisted today (altered altitudes).

they added in 2 pumps that feed into an air distribution block (less lines going to the tank, so 2 feed lines from 4 pumps).

added in 2 new check valves for the air line feeds (the viair check valves tend to seize)

added in 2 more viair 444 pumps!

so they let it sit at pressure for 3 days. not one pound of air loss at full system pressure.

tomorrow it gets picked up and taken to the body shop. so expect lots of updates from that!








here is more pics from today. It's at the paint shop!

yah, the work ended up far better than i had hoped. zero corners cut. I knew it would be good, but every step blew my mind.

yep..tis me, the one and only

i've been dealing with kevin for years.

Haha, I don't know if you'll remember me or not, I was "lowakkord" on JDMR. Had that primered 4th gen accord, shaved bay and H22. Blah blah. This thing is rad, dude.

The amount of talent and attention to detail that shop is displaying on your beautiful car deserves major commendations. You've found the local gem of a hot rod shop, they are clearly top-notch.

Nicotine, as in the same Nicotine from JDMR? This car is insane dude. You've hired some of the best guys I know of in the GTA. I can't say that I know the Majestics guys, but Kevin at AAC has always treated me awesome and is a great guy.

This build is amazing, keep it up. I hope to see it out this summer.

[Nicotine]

I was a bit bummed to see a car this legit and rare get heavier modification but at the end of the day its your car and it will be bad ass, can't wait to see more!

I had my reservations about going this balls deep into the car also....

but with the X-Frames and the speed of the bag setup, there was a really good chance I would endup bending the frame..... Other than the frame, the bags are the only other modification (which can be undone very easily!).

The interior is %100 original currently. We are replacing the front seat covers with IDENTICLE match pieces and foam, new dashpad, and that's it. Basically refreshing just a few pieces of the interior.

Exterior, I bought some replacement emblems and a few trim pieces that were not flawless. nothing crazy, and the paint will remain the same colour.

I want to keep it "OEM+". No crazy flake paint or designs. Clean, simple, refreshed.
