Nearly finished fixing the body kit!!!

In last couple of days all I did was working on the cut I did on the hood and the body kit. So I had to get new brush, because when u fiberglass things you can only use the brush once, so I went and brought another brush, primer and spray paint in the can (silver). When I got home I went to paint that thing that surrounds the CD player and gear shift. Anyway I had to paint the thing in 5 minutes as it is my style to do things in a minute. But the result was nothing else but to laugh at firstly I had like 50 sending paper which is too harsh, and than I applied primer 3 times because you have to, and than spray paint, by the time I have done that, I waited like few minutes and grabbed it, and I left few finger prints on the thing, but who cares I have to do it again. Secondly I was getting the hood ready but I have to spent at least another 10 hours just concentrating on other thing, but year I took few shots of it and that thing I have no idea what it is called.





Than secondly I been full of dust in last couple of days due to sending the body kit grrrhhhhh I hated it but I had to do it properly, so I have did it the best I could so far… I even hate to write about it, but I will write down about few major things “never send fiberglass with no shirt with long sleeves because having sanded bits left over of fiberglass on your hands is like having bits of glass inside your hands” and yer I like what I have done so far and it is 90 % completed so one big yeah, btw my mates can’t wait till she gets painted and to put new deeeeeeeeeep dish wheels on it, and get it on the road legally :D. And here are some pics of the rear bar and front bar nearly done.





And my lovely trunk

Painting...., but not the car yet.

Wow long time, I haven't posted anything so I have decided to at least post something. Two days ago I been to PSI for a visit since I got hit by a car, anyway as they are always importing cars, they also got those Japanese looking cassette , cd players and yer I had chance to install one in my car, but it didn’t work :( . Few days ago I have decided to paint my engine cover red, so it took me a while to get rid of all the grease oil and stuff like that but I did it. And here is a pic.
And the final look:
Secondly I painted some interior but it is not completed yet, I have only done that thing that surrounds the CD player and gear shift. I needed primer and silver spray in a car to do it and some sanding paper and that was it, and the result is good so far.
I will post some pics of it tomorrow till than BYE.

Audio

Yo, yesterday I saw in a Junk Mail In one of the papers can’t remember the name of the shop it is called something like Strackom, anyway I have purchased two sets of JBL speakers because my dad had them as thither speakers in the living room where we watch movies and stuff, and since I was a kid I always kinds liked them, so I decided to porches JBL speakers without any worries, so I have purchased the following speakers: JBL CS2165 6 for the front and JBL CB3196 6.5" two-way loudspeakers for the rear. The both speakers are limited to 91db which is over the legal limit :D, but I will need an amplifier to make them to get to its limit. So today I went and purchased them and soon as I got home I went to install them, I started of the rear and it was so hard to install 6’’ x 9’’ to a Silvia that I would not like to recommend to anyone to get 6’’ x 9’’ for the Silvia to put them in the rear. And the reason is that I have started of cutting metal underneath the parcel shelf so I could fit my speakers. Secondly I had to cut parcel shelf to, to get the speakers in. After few hours I have connected only rear speakers and tested them :P so when I put the stereo on loudest and I still could hear that shhh sound when bass kicks in , than I just turned on rear speakers the once I have contend and put the volume all the way to the top,,,, and guess what …..Not even one shhhhh sound... Anyway tomorrow I have to finish the front ones because tonight I had to go to the doctors’ appointment to see how I’m recovering after the incident in city.
The front set:
The rear set:
And the rear speakers are in :D
(dont worry about the tint because i tryed to take it of and it did not work so i'm going to fivie it to some tint shop to take it off)

Playing with fiberglass, and my bonnet

Today was my day. In pain I decided to continue with progress on my car therefore I started of fixing my front bar and rear bar. Yesterday I brought a fiberglass kit from Autobarn and I wanted to start on my car last night because I already took the body kit of and got it ready to repair but it was too late and my best mate came for a visit. Anyways I started on it the next day (today), I started of my front bar and it turned up alright so far, but I will let you know tomorrow because it is not dry yet.

And here is a picture of few cracks in my front bar,and there is some in my rear bar but it is to hard to see because it is a line crack:


Repaired:

Second thing that I did today was the bonnet …yep the bonnet. I have decided to do a self project on my bonnet so I gave it a go. Basically I was working on the bonnet the whole day (in condition I’m) and yes it was painful but I wanted to finish it. I started of measuring and marking all the lines that I will cut, and so on. But the hardest part was bending the metal it was big pain in the ass, but I did it and I’m pretty happy with the result. It is not 100 % finished but I will show you what I got so far.
This picture is showing you what I wanted …
And this picture is what ended up … (keep in mind it is not finished yet… “Still in progress”)
And here is a pictures of working on my bonnet:

BLING

Hi everyone, yesterday night I tried to fit the LED lights that are designed for a computer into my instrumental cluster , I have downloaded the s13 manual and found which pin is positive and which one is negative for instrumental cluster lights, after I connected everything and put it back in place. When I went to test it there was not enough electricity to turn them on properly, you could barely see the lights inside the instrument cluster, so I gave up and went to Autobarn and brought a set of blue LED lights for my instrument cluster. They were just as my old ones just LED so I have just installed them and put tested them... first they did not work ,than I unplugged them and plugged them back in and than finally they were working :D. I was pretty happy with the result: and here is result:
