Joff and MrsJoff's Chaste White BorgWarner FD build

Yeah, do you have any pics of the fuse/relay box bolted to the front crossmember? I need some ideas, I already have the riv-nut kit LOL.

Little update. Jesse has been very busy with work so not much has been done to the FD. This weekend was dedicated to the 8. It got a full clay bar, wash and Zaino so it is looking pretty damn good.

He spent a lot of time perfecting the carbon/kevlar air box and it looks really good. We need to bring it to a painter and have it clear coated and then it will be finished. I had the radiator and the inter-cooler anodized black. They look pretty sweet all black.

We bought a huge roll of that 3-M carbon fiber wrap stuff and Jesse has been wrapping a few little things in that. He is also wrapping the backs of the Bride seats with the carbon fiber to get rid of that gaudy silver sparkly back. It has turned out to be a bigger project than he planned, so that may take a while before it is done.

I should have a package arriving from Japan this week. My project has been the interior and I just had to have this little goodie. Will post picks of it once it arrives.

Some progress shots

And Speedjunkie, this one is for you. This shot of the fuse/relay box is from underneath the car.

My splurge for the FD finally came. Since I am doing the look of a Spirit-R interior, I thought I would put one true Spirit-R piece in there.

It looks amazing in person. The gauges are not white like they look in the picture. They are kind of a shimmery silver color. Very nice. I can't wait to finish the interior. It is going to look incredible.
