88 vert buildup and TII conversion
 

Here are some pics taken today of my vert which has been started recently. I'll try to track down pics of it when I first got it, but for now I'll start with these.

My intent for this buildup is to install a full body kit to the car for the exterior. The interior will include relocating the A/C controls and finishing up on my carputer installation. The engine will be swapped out for a TII block. In the short term I will use the top mounted intercooler but intend to go front mount at some point. My biggest goal is to retain all the creature comforts of the car as it is a daily driver/ boulevard cruiser.

That said, here we go!

Three quater shot and close up of front after installing Fiber Images CF hood, East Bear headlights and J-spec FTPs.

I've wondered what a racing type seat would look like in a vert.

Couple of pics I took today now that I have the fenders and Work wheels installed.

Nice.
Although Im not to sure about those front fenders.
Are you planing to do something to the back fenders?

Which flares are you using for the fronts? Resembles PanSpeed. Did you actually roll the original fender beneath it?

Amemiya flares? Very cool, props on getting a hold of the EastBear headlights!!! Rare freaking lights!!!

I've had the East Bears for a number of years now. The flares are the Corksport version of the Amemiys/Panspeed flares.

When I get the car repainted, I'll probably be molding the fenders in. Most likely, nothing will be done to the rear fenders as the wheels fit perfectly there. \

I didn't roll the front fenders underneath there. I cut the living shit out of them. LOL. Pictures of that to follow soon. My girlfriend has pics and video of that horrible deed. :)

Thanks for the comments, both good and bad. As with my last car, this is built to MY liking. If other people like it, great! If not, they don't have to unless they start offering me money to do it their way.

well, keep it up and post more pics.

Yea Amemiya just used panspeed fender flares on their car - I was upset when I found that out as I wanted those originally for my car. I like them, but it only works if doing the RE front end, or even your headlight setup.

HI

OK, I'm going to try to put a few pics up in a couple of minutes as there has been a bit of progress. I now have boost! I also got rid of the TII CF hood in favor of... You'll just have to wait for the pics. LOL.
