NICE, i really like the inner fender work. Originally when I bought this car, it was hit in the front. It was supposed to be just a daily driver to commute to work. I bought the s13.5 front, 2 quarts of house of colors chromalusion paint and the glass quarters. Then I did an exhaust, then i did the suspension, then the brakes, then it snowballed out of control. Never did use the chromalusion though and that stuff is 800$ a quart.
I was actually the first person on the east coast to do the s13.5. once I started to see more, I sold it and went back to flip ups. Which actually didnt move, there are actually piaa triple beam lights mounted under the headlight covers.they had a fog, driving and signal all in one. so the lights just stayed stationary like that. Those are real Version Select fenders and bumper too. I think it looked a whole lot better.
which Teins are you running by the way?

Thanks, I thought for awhile there I was never going to make any progress on those tubs. It's finally coming together; finally. I'm running the Flex's but with the stiffer 7/9kg springs. They really do quite well actually and provide a ton of response. I prefer softer rates b/c it keep ground pressure up on uneven surfaces

That's what I ran. I forget which rate spring though. You can see my edfc motors in the engine bay pic.
Little rough on the street too.

Nice fab work and a beautiful car! No seam sealer on the inner fenders?

I have a soft spot for all things FR and AWD imports. I really want another WRX. Hell, I'm watching Initial D right now. lol

Na, not on the bay side, I like the stitched look on my tubs better. The seam sealer on the inner fender will keep the water out

don't I know it. I enjoy a rainy day almost better, everything is slowed down, the money isn't flying out of my pockets, and you don't have to be so damn loud when you just want a couple mins away from people who might not agree with what you're doing.
