I love how the glare blings off the reflector. This looks sick as hell right now, but going to be even better once installed against the blue. Keep the pics coming!

oh man thats a lot of work. its going to be worth every bit. who gives a s*** about photo quality, theres major reconstructive surgery going on. anyone that has done this knows how many back breaking, arm tiring hours it takes to do. very nice JT!

thanks Brian, i cant wait to see things when they start to go back together on the car... I think you'll be impressed what we managed to do with your catch cans, thanks again for amazing custom pieces...

Installed the last Street Unit motor mounts, i now have all but the passenger side finished as i have to machine the top of the 2 bolt holes to make them fit better and machine the bolts holding the mount together to make the mount sit flush. ill put pics up after it finished to show where we had problems. also reinstalled the intake manifold and started to tuck wire and vacuum lines to make the engine bay look better.. a lot more work to come still this winter.


Also finished a set of retros of another local Protege5 over the weekend, start to finish was only 2 hours with 2 of us working away. all the parts were bought from the retrofit source and fit great.

couple older pics, but with mother nature thinking we needed more snow it will be awhile before i get to drive the car..

Thank you for posting inspiration. Damn I love this car. Perfect color and every upload to photobucket just makes me drool. The new retros look sick as hell. Once those go in..... watch out!

 

[bikingpro5]

Bit of work done this weekend, hopefully my loom and few other parcels arrive soon so i can finish the engine bay and start the interior and rear suspension..

is that yellow tape?

 

[Sleezer1533]

Yea what with the yellow tape?

 

[bikingpro5]

the tape is covering the newly polished and powdercoated parts so that i don't scratch them reinstalling everything in the engine bay...

 

[Sleezer1533]

Good call. I chipped the hell out of my painted VC when I took the IM out to get at the rear motor mount

ya tape is cheap compared to paint and powdercoat, and i would hate to scratch something thats polished and have to redo it..

I should have cut those tabs off my fuel rail when I did the tuck....but i was lazy lol
looks good so far

I tried sending you a reply on FB thru the PB links, but my work computer wouldnt let me. I saw them right when u posted and wondered the same thing about the tape. Never saw yellow like that. Its crazy how even the tape job looks clean as hell. Good work bro!!
