i started off with the car as my first car 3years ago nearly
this is how it looked when i first got it.

then me being me fiddled and things didnt go according to plan
then brought me to spraying the bonnet unprofessionally but did a good job on the alloys before i thought why can i not spray a bonnet... this is how it turned out:

tbh i thought this looked good... what was i thinking... but then i thought lets add some seats and electric mirrors and a touch screen monitor for the computer

i thought i did a good job on this part... but on the outside it looked pants so i now am in the middle of sorting it out, starting with the engine... i now have a b16a and thats been difficult but i have nearly finished it.

this is it so far but i now have a front splitter, strut brace's, steering wheel, rev gauge that goes to 11000 rpm, its getting a whole new respray(professionally done, new alloys will put a picture up after weekend but its coming along nicely. post about it soon :)

cheers mate
working progress... getting sprayed week after next just had engine conversion all done, from d13b2 to b16a and its alot faster so i got the performance that i was lacking. now im improving the outside because i crashed it last week into my bosses van... not good. so ive now gone for wv2 same gun metal gray as nissan skyline r34, new alloys getting sprayed also. all booked into booth, as it is my project i will be spraying as well but obviously im going to be there with my mate, he's going to teach me. look out within next couple of weeks. after outside being sprayed, inside will be reupholstered - all black leather... anyone got a black dash i can buy?

#244514 goin with the majority vote here, not to be a follower but to break away the norm of black n white JDM clones. a really dark metallic gun grey with a hint of pearl looks the business if ur wantin a mean lookin streeter. i did my ninjas rims in that colour n came out sick looks black at night n the metallic n pearl really show through durin the day 8)
