    OAFA Montréal - Canada

    Since I can,t find my other member ride's thread I'll make new one with the last updates.

    This is what the car look like two years ago.

    November 2008



    2005 JDM type r complet conversion
    Seibon CF Hood and wing
    Mugen grill
    Ion Fog lights
    ep3 recaro
    takata harness
    Toda Catback
    Megan coilover
    gramlights wheels...

    December 2008
    So I've start working on the car for a new paint, shaved engine bay, wire tuck and k24a2 swap.




    Jan 2009
    I've bought new wheels, Work Vsxx




    May 2009
    The car go to a Friend's house and we satrd working on the body for the new paint.





    I've bought the new engine.

    And prepare it.


    June 2009
    First paint. he had some badluck so he repaint the car a second time.
    Second paint work make a ugly reaction with the basecoat. The probleme was the quality of the base coat.
    (No pics for that)

    August 2009.
    The engine bay was nice so I've decide the put the engine in and finish the wiretuck.





    The engine work fine.

    September 2009
    The car go to a other paint shop in Montreal.





    After one many weeks of waiting, I go to the paint shop to see the work. Surprise, the paint is so ugly that i decide to bring it back at home. it was pink, red, dark red and pink. I need the help of the police to bring the car because the paint shop dont want to let me have it.

    (no pic of that for now)

    Mars 2010
    I strip all the 30 and more coats of paint to put the car on the metal.



    Now the car is at a other paint shop. I think I can trust them.

    The only probleme is that I can decide what color to do.

    Red, bronze, Gold, Blue, green....

    Yeah thanks, I would like to go with a gold/bronze combo or gold/gold combo but it's hard to find the good one.

    Martin, Heineken green ou bronze with a gold pearl in the clear. Both would match your wheels and it'll be badass with your seats. For the XXX time, I love your car, we're ready for a beer soon Ithink!

    Yeah I agree, but I was tired of seeing the same thing on every other ep. Its only temporary until I get a jdm front end.
