95 sol ground up project!
Ive had this car for about 5 years and im just starting to work on it. I was originally going to just change the color but It has come to the point where Im redoing the entire car from the ground up. I shaved the antenna, and mirrors off, want to put them up in the windows(only seen this done on a few rare cars) I bought a 97 front bumper, black jdm one piece headlights, blue carpet, shaved engine bay and brakes still keeping heat, wire tuck, built b20 thats boosted I picked up from a friend of mine, and f1 fenders. Im lookin for some feedback on what color to paint this, I want it blue but I cant decide if I should go with 99-00 electric blue pearl, or 07-09 fuji blue. Car is far from done but im looking for some imputs for anything else I should do, or if anyone has any ideas what mirrors and how they are mounting them in the glass. Heres some pics! Ill get more up as I get more work done!
As sitting for about 3 years
Here is an idea of what is coming
Works started
Thats most of it for now hah if I get further ill post more pics, Sad thing is the car was mint when I bought it, but I just had to do it!

Re: 95 sol ground up project!
Ive been welding grinding and filling for about three days now feels like forever! I relocated the prop valve down by the heater core hoses I didnt like the idea of brake lines and fluid in the cabin and I wanted to keep heat so im just putting it all really low on the firewall. Its takin some time but I want to do everything right and everything once haha, but ill put more pics up as I get more work done! Got my new wiring harness's yesterday, I like fuji blue also and everyone seems to think so, I think ill pick up my paint sometime this week!

I might be getting a del sol shell on Friday or saturday for my birthday present for myself to help me along with the build and parts I will need! I hope it follows through but ill keep it updated as soon as I start working on it again!

Re: 95 sol ground up project!
should I shave the side reflectors on the front bumper? I cant decide the emblem is gone, and pretty much everything else is shaved? I think im gonna rebend the brake lines to that looks like a mess I just have to get a double flair tool, Looking for some input! Thanks for the support!

Re: 95 sol ground up project!
Ya haha I dont think I could have sold it the way it was sitting! Maybe scraped it! Im redoing the wiring this weekend(boring) so pry wont put any more pics up till I get some more work done that you can see, I think I might go with my stock fenders and just sell the f1 fenders, I like how they look a lot but where they bolt under the hood they dont sit very flat and im really worried about them cracking again. I might just do both sets not for sure! I have carbon fiber 3rd brakelight set coming, Going to get hood, top, trunk, rear garnish, and hopefully a full lip kit all in carbon fiber, Im having a hard time finding side skirts and rear lip in carbon so if anyone knows where to get some let me know

Re: 95 sol ground up project!
ha ha dawn dish soap and my powerwasher are my best friends when I spray but I can pump out a lot of nice paint jobs out of my garage, I could take it to work and spray in downdraft booth but I like the fact of doing it all in my garage. Makes it worth the money having it haha
