as if I don't have enough projects going on right now lol. This one should be fairly quick to put together to get back on the road again. I would like to keep it since its a EX model and put all my Domani parts on this one :biggrin: but I can't...

I'm not going to post what's going to be done or nothing on this thread.
If you want to know what I'm going to do with it, just subscribe and follow up :chinese:

Wet sanded the whole car down with 1,000 grit and cleaned it up again for another coat of paint.

Body is almost done. New color sand and buff.

Engine is pretty much done. Need to adjust valves, put flywheel, clutch and slap on transmission.

Stay tuned.

Damn, you work fast! That sliver-grey color looks bad-ass and will look really tatas against teh black of the car. This build has inspired me to buy a D16 from the yard and rebuild it myself with boosted intentions.

Never have built an engine before; always cave-man'd it... machine shop builds the rotating asm and I throw the rest together. Besides, there's just 4 cylinders... :tt2:

You ever gonna share with us the paint you used on the engine block? As well ass the intake manifold? Brand/color so to say... Please!!! Must I beg Pata? Haha

Been cleaning for touch up paint on my D16z6 and DX 5-speed transmission, but I don't know what to go with. Literally a major thing, as I need it before I put things back together

Seems like the brand your using is nice and top notch choice. Please share and keep them updates coming

P.S. just read through all this and I'm really surprised I missed out on knowing about this build of yours; always keeping tabs on your work, its always amazing!
