Bought the car looking like this...











the start of the rebiuld..







The massive amount of bondo we found in the rear quarter..















welded on a new rear fender..







and the fiberglass blistered fenders..

 

had to mold the over fenders into the stock fenders.. also filled in the reflector holes.











Getting the paint.. my girlfriend wanted to help out.











It's comming along..















Engine back in..

 

teflon braded brake lines..











Wilwood brake balancer and areomotive FPR..







We powder coated the turbo, intake pipeing, all hinges, door sills

 

95% done..

 

pics from a "custom car show"



















some night shots..























And thats it for right now.. let me know if you have any questions or want any pics of something specific.

 

nice to see you back in the game

 

thanks..



well after almost 5 years @ 450ish HP, the engine is starting to go. It's getting coolant into the oil.. blah so next up is a new engine. Was going to install a tec 3 with painless wireing harness and a few other goodies, but my contract for my job is up for renewal around the end of the year. So need to save up some money and get my bills paid off before dumping to much more into this.

 

looks good but you need new wheels to fill those wide rear fenders!



i want another fd....

 

and that makes 100 people that have told me this..



they are in the works... those wheels are pretty much sold. just have to pick out some new ones... leaning towards Wedsports.. SA-70s or SA-70TTs. love the TTs, but hate having to clean them..

 

That's how you get it done! Great post man. I love the photos. I dig the color of coarse. The repair to the rear fender looks pretty awesome too.

I have to pick your brain on the brakelines. This was something I was planning on doing, you beat me to it. Could you tell me the details on the lines and where you got them? I was not sure where to get lines that would work from my calipers (which are metric) to the domestic wilwood balancer. Any info you can help me with would be very helpful.



Anyway awesome car and a great thread!
