so i decided this time around id do a build thread, well id like to think of it more as a progress thread lol. this would be my 6th car, and my 3rd del sol. have big plans for it and hopefully i will get to finish it ! my dad does paint and body work so he was the main man behind the make-over. anyway.. on to the pics !


so this is how it looked when i first picked it up



random picture =P hondas are everywhere !


wasted no time and started sanding




fender needed some work



car had an ugly shamoo wing on it so we had to fill in the holes





started stacking up some parts to throw on after paint

(thanks to drftmike for letting go of the cage!, at a good price too)

supa fresh, 15x7, wanted to get 15x8 but they were back ordered and didnt feel like waiting lol

had to get the nifty valve stems too, dual valve stems ftw !


always wanted to have blue interior


little mock up lol


had to test fit them =o

they sit a little lower than my stock del sol seats

EG j's racing replica lip


found the perfect steering wheel to go with my theme =}


pops wanted to start painting something so we started with the wing and under the hood
before clear coat

after clear coat



went out to test fit cage and ran into this, blah !


random picture: was on my way home on the 710 N freeway and saw a car flipped over on fire =O lol


finally got cage to fit



cutting rear compartments to fit around cage with my homie jay


jay reppin the place to be !


caught me off guard haha (i need a tan LOL)


R.I.P. to j's lip =[

didnt want side reflectors so decided to shave em

time for bars to get painted !




doing work as always !





random picture: this is how your T should look if your doing work !


had to re-clear the wing, nice and smood, and chiny !
