haha yea, all metal was horrible, but being that is aluminum reinforced I suffered through haha. and yea thats what I figured on the block and tranny, never would have thought to clear coat it tho! as soon as Im done with my engine bay body work Ill paint mine, too much dust flying around these days haha

 

yes with a fully shaved bay and nice and painted i would def paint the engine and trans.

 

I was sad when i saw the the Varrstoen's, but the rest so far makes me happy.

 

if my tax return is big enough they will be gone. they are fake junk but plan on them to be temp. setup. thanks ill try to do my best to not make this build a epic faliure.

 

this build is nice quality! keep it up!

 

sorry have not updated this thread at all. figured i would throw some pics in here.

small shit came.. while back



cr black fender badges



cr side markers



all new heater hoses.



new clutch



nardi deep corn





motor cleaned and painted.



trans done



and after 3 months of work. im finally glad to be done with my bay.





and my wheels i custom mixxed the color.



thats it for now.

also picked up a spoon replica diffuser, spoon rep front bumper, and mugen rep hardtop. ill try to get pics of all those later on.

 

dang that engine bay color is nutso...looks good

 

WOW, That color



Beautiful work.

 

thanks guys. whole car will be that color.

 

i like the car, but the Varrstoens still make me sad. the money you'd spend on a mugen replica hardtop and selling the rep wheels you could buy a nice set of wheels. thats just me though. can't wait to see the whole car painted
