Updates will be coming soon, I finally picked up a job again after freelancing for the last year and a half, which means steady income and I can afford car parts again, so updates will be coming soon.

yes the front of that bike is from a GSXR

Sorry guys, not really any updates at the moment, been beyond slammed with work, but going to be getting in it some more soon

What a cool motorcycle. Looks fast.

So now I am just finishing up on a buddies frankensteined brat bike, gpz 550, I had helped him out on a few things on it about a year ago but we never got around to getting it to run so now we added a muffler and swapped some mechanical pickups for an ignitor-less ignition and just needs to be fined tuned and its done, then I can get some more done on the 02

I just went thru this whole thread and there is ALOT of cool stuff going on. Bravo! In for more builds...especially the 02!

You have a nice garage, good luck on finding another job.

Looks like some good progress. That manikin looks excited to see your wheels.

I'm curious how the seats will look when you're finished.

I keep going back and fourth on the seats, my fat ass doesnt fit in them really so I am going to hold off on choosing between seats until the time comes that I need to make brackets and then see if I have lost weight or gained it. Either way I will get them redone and if they dont go in this I may just sell them.

Oh yea and I almost forgot my wife and I built this bitchin gopro mount for that wagon and got some great shots from the pomona swap meet a few weeks agohttps://vimeo.com/136991444

Its not much progress but the trans tunnel shape is finally done, theres a few seems that need to be finished up getting welded but one more day on it and I should be finished and onto other parts of the car




progress is stupid slow because a few months ago I was laid off from my full time job, I work in the entertainment industry so the good news is I can do what I was doing freelance and from home, but I have to work twice as much to make the same amount of money all though thats finally starting to change which is nice.

I initially took a break to make another one of my slammed wagons



Then I pulled my garage apart to try and squeeze more shit in it









And then I started making these really great cup holders out of old soda crates




The only thing that takes forever is manually drilling out all the pilot holes for the stitching




I also picked up some bbs rms for the jetta that may or may not end up on the 02

After refinishing them with polished lips and gold centers





Also with the wheels i got the motor and trans mounts powder-coated black

I've just had a flick through! It's looking good so far the engine will look awesome!
Looking forward to seeing progress on this!

Not really, been working on some side things for the last week or so, and getting my Jetta back on the road. I hope to have some updates this weekend though.
