Awesome who is doing the paint work?

We are

My brothers buddy works at Fitzgerald in their autobody shop. We basically prep all the parts and bring them to him to paint them in their facilities. We just pay his buddy for labor + materials. The labor is of course much cheaper since hes our friend and we're doing a lot of the prep work.

Just an awesome thread. I can't wait to see the finished product (and I'm sure neither can you!)
Sub'd for more updates!

Putting a 24v in a car that didn't come with the complete s14 is okay. Sourcing a s14 is not as simple as it once was. No worries ;)

Ah, well it's your car to do with as you need to. Others here might not have selected that route but it's understandable and easily reversible unlike modding it for an V10 that others have done.

Keep the updates happening.

Much better than the alternative of it rotting away to rust particles.
