Has been a while since I did a update as I've just thrown the car together to get it ready for japfest and the summer So I ditched the proper paint job for flat black and have left finishing the bodywork until wintertime. It cutting corners but better like this than rushing the bodywork and paint
Thats a work of art!!! Pure genuis!
I do recall how mean it looked in my rear view mirror on the M4 last week, I LIKE IT ALOT!!!!!!!
Not going to lie!
That looks truely immense!
Pretty sure i saw you in Llanelli yesterday?

Thanks, you have seen me as I've seen you going around in a slammed s14. I must say yours looks really good for a standard looking silvia, never been a fan of 14s hence i did a s15 conversion but yours I like
never posted up picks of the car after i fitted a BGW, so here they are.
I had the car on the road for a few months over the summer but its gearbox broke and after driving around without 5th and reverse for a while i took it off the road to do few jobs and i want to spray it.
im thinking to go a dark metallic orange or metallic purple.
A Photoshop pic to give a idea
Go for your tangerine orange james, would love that colour on my car, great job on the car amazing what you can achieve with a littel know how, well done.
Thank you. I think I will go the orange as I can't find any nice purples that don't cost a fortune, also it stands out better with orange
if you do for it cant waite to see it ,
Damson doesn't cost much and looks awesome.
Isn't damson a flip colour like the bluey green that s14s also came in?Damson doesn't cost much and looks awesome
top work! what happened to the 100mm rad? decided it was overkill?
The rad needed to be modified as the outlets where in the wrong place and for a low power SR it was overkill lol. I've still got it and will use it when I do the engine swap I'm planning
great project.
think it looks awesome in black too.
How did I miss this?! My old runabout S14 from 2008.
Awesome work last year buddy to transform it.
This i fxxking hate matt finish but this pulls it off and it looks awesome!
Well the cars been off the road since September due to buying a civic type r then a skyline but now finally got round to painting the 200 so I can put it back on the road.
Pics will follow in a few days
Being as the weather is getting warmer it time i spray the car. Its been sitting in the shed for months so had gathered quite a bit of dust and spiderwebs. So me and my mate made a start.
welded and filled old spoiler holes
being as i sprayed the car satin black it was easy to rub down however it still going to be hard work

The car was ready to paint so i set up my temporary booth again
sneak peek
Got the car out after a couple of days drying and unwrapped it
The roof isn't getting painted as i think gloss black will be to much
After painting the rest of the car i put it back together and this is the finished look
