part 2 of the 2011 recap

as we leave this drift season and start looking into next year and the builds to be done for XDC and FD, lets see what we did on the other side of the car scene in 2011: the daily driver and drifter.

this was a pretty big project for us, a S14 for our friend Raymond of Team Topflight.

Future Fabrication tubbed the front and built a especially tasty bash bar. we sprayed the engine bay and new tubs a medium silver and a small amount of white pearl on top.





some parts arrived from Raymond, real BNsports kit and front/rear overs. prepped,primed,and wet sanded all of that






DMAX hood.



needed some work



the car had a few dings but nothing bad




rear quarters were cut by future fab for the new SSR wheels


put metal in the front fenders to keep them from cracking (hopefully)


Raymond fit his overs and got the needed holes made



fitment was deemed correct




finally started spraying the parts. color is BMW OEM, metallic red from the M5






every part of the car has been wetsanded and buffed for extra gloss/ badassery




car painted yay







its been on the streets for awhile now but is still waiting on its full shoot. not many pics for now







thanks for looking. next time we will look at a s13 we did for another friend

whats going on over there?

we have been pushing really hard in the 115 degree weather to get Raymonds S14 done. the car will no doubt be one of the nicest 14's in the southwest, expect a shoot by our friend Charles Siritho soon but in the mean time here is some work in progress pics to get you excited.

the real BN Sports kit in primer

BN overs awaiting their turn for primer

D-Max hood needed some love

well, alot of love actually

much better

some dings and stuff were fixed of course

everything was wet sanded in preparation to being painted

neat trick here, by Raymond's request we fiberglassed in some sheetmetal to prevent the front fenders cracking. we will see down the road if it works

finally some color was sprayed

BMW Melbourne red from 07-09 M3 model

and here we are now

a few days of sanding and buffing then re-assembly. expect to see this car around the internetz soon
