I thinks it's funny how so many people think this is your old Yolo yellow s2000 haha :completelydifferentcar:

Looking good though! We need to go through with the plans we talked about last night! And that interior needs to be installed ASAP!

it's been too long since I've updated!! thought I would share a few pics of what's been going on.

finally will be happy with the paint and body! my great friend tom has done a great job!!! here are some progress pics, it's been full of ups and downs and illness and sweat Lol!!

taking the soft top out






Tom doing work making everything fit!




no more antenna!


cleaning everything up the night before primer






after the long process of priming/guide coating/priming again/sanding/priming again/sanding/priming again finally some color!




the color is a custom HOK turquoise (solid graphic/not a candy)

Also FINALLY pulled the trigger and bought genuine Js fenders. tried to make the reps fit and while they are much better Tom and I still weren't happy with how they came out. Tom pointed me toward a new Js racing dealer who was awesome, ordered them and they should be here by July!!! Anyone looking for genuine Js parts lmk!



More recent:


Trying my hand at some alcantara wrapping



Installing the rest of the interior and recaros this week!

Hopefully installing the BBK and cage by the weekend! Will update with pics
