Default Project Del Sol Love - going N/A

Hi guys,

my name ist Fabian and I'm from Germany!
After my D16 N/A del Sol was damaged by hit and run i bought an EG2.
Here the last Video of my old del Sol
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BAsyaRR6N4o

When i bought him:


strutbars:


Integra muffler on del Sol:






new seal:


Then my first parts arrived, let the pics speak now















Then came the most important, what makes a car in the first place, the wheels! Also get a carbon hood:






Then the rear wheel arches flared and then resealed, I could rotate the suspension still down a bit






clean valve cover



And that's it for now. soon I will get some nice black Recaros and in winter a carbon tailgate.

greatings from germany Fabian

Clean start, simplicity is key. Why didn't you use parts off your old del sol ?

Sorry to hear about the old sol but it doesn't really matter because the new one is progressing very well. Loving the color and the condition of the car looks pretty damn mint!
Bay shot looks sick, keep up the good work

sry ... I didn't understand what you mean...new seal?
do you mean this sentence?
"Then the rear wheel arches flared and then resealed"

Maybe I expressed myself wrong...
I have applied new underbody and sealed the wheel arches with wax

Further works I painted the front mask! Like it
In winter I will drop out the engine and paint residue from the engine compartment.
1x primer, 2x yellow, 3x clear coat ...I'm very happy with the result!

Then, I have taken care of for the air supply....Pics
