The Heist.

[heist]

Not much going on with the actual car.... been doing a lot of photoshops and evaluating though.

This is my goal for the wheels.

Black face should give the illusion of the wheels being smaller. The copper lips will maintain the depth so I'm really aiming for this end result.

Also been trying to do some research to understand the geometry of the shocks. I may lift both the front and rear towers and move them towards the center of the car at a slightly steeper slope.

Should be a lot of cutting and slicing in a few weeks.

few more images

next big step.

That looks tough as with the Kamei front spoiler!!

Good stuff bro. I started my tear down today. I should be starting my build thread. What did you use to strip the inside of your trunk??

[heist]

I just used paint stripper that I got at home depot. Comes in a gallon I use it on everything.

winter break. 5 or so weeks to get this rolling. enjoy.

I'm getting new shock mounts fabricated tomorrow, but I should be able to run like this no problem (as far as wheel making contact with trailing arm and coil.

~3mm spacer on

no spacer.

well after about 30 seconds of thought I purchased this today.

Honda S2000 F20C1. Probably my best christmas gift to myself...ever/

Day 2

The engine is not going in for awhile, but now I have time to accumulate parts that I need and build off the base so I'm rather happy.

Next up... full roll cage!!!!!

[heist]

Been going hard in the paint I managed to get 90% of the fenders properly stripped and ready for primer.

I wish I would have saved all of the material removed, had to be around 40lbs. Now I can stop the rust and fill a couple holes. Anyways some photos:

Finally started on my braces today. Also my POR15 trunk

Fits very snug, actually had to hammer it in. I'm working with basic hand tools so perfect is out of the question.

As you can see my welding skills are as good as a first grader, but I'm getting decent penetration so it should be sufficient.

cant wait to see this thing all one color, the fender flares look like they turned out really good.

[heist]

Thanks^ I can't wait to get it one color to trust me haha!

Welds don't look pretty....regardless got a good dig into the metal so I'm happy.

[tinkwithanr]

Those bends look pretty clean. What bender/notcher are you using?

[heist]

I bought the hoop locally for 20$ I believe, so I didn't have to bend anything. I don't have a notcher or bender. I'm using a grinder and patience for the notches..... very time consuming, but works.
