Zero's S13
 -✘ Well, some news what have happened in the last two days.. Long story short Zero came to our work shop for some custom work, we fabricated and installed a roll cage in his RPS13, so now his car meets the D1 regulations and standards which makes him eligible to compete there, also we came up with awesome idea which I will be talking about later in this post. It took us around 26 hours to build this from start to finish, so guess how much sleep we had in those two days... Zero came early in the morning on Thursday, somewhere between 7 and 8 AM so we started working immediately, spent more than 18 hours in the garage that day working non-stop, we even slept there.. Friday was basically the same, we started again at 7 AM, and we had it finished somewhere around at 3 PM.. That was hell of a two days, but the most important thing is that everything came out very nice and we managed to do it in time. ✘-
 -✘ Without damaging anything we carefully stripped the interior out, seats, carpets, basically every panel out there, so we could start welding and things like that. ✘-
 -✘ The Cage already inside, everything fits well and nice as we also made the original dashboard fit, Zero will definitely be protected from all angles in case of crash which I hope won't happen, but overall I am very satisfied with the outcome. Also sorry for the lack of progress pics, basically we didn't had any free time to do fancy pictures you know.. ✘-
 -✘ Also I took another hour and inspected his car all around because of my curiosity. Everything seems fine, perfect base for such build as he has in plans. ✘-
 -✘ So after everything was finished, me and Zero went for a "lunch" at local McDonald's where we discussed everything further. So to make things clear I will be his sponsor for upcoming season and will help him with everything related to custom work, such as roll cages, bash bars, fabricating and similar stuff, maybe I will help him with more things later on as I get name for myself. Such thing will benefit us both as he will get the help required and I will get to promote my shop, so win win situation. I made him big discount on this cage, so he basically only paid for materials that was needed, and a small sum of 500V$ that I asked him in first place, so basically this cage cost him one thousand, which is crazy deal in my opinion. ✘-
 -✘ So yeah, this is the last update this week as I am going to Tokyo for the weekend with my Wife and yeah, we are taking the "hachi-roku" ! I need to relax for a bit as this week was very intense, we built two cages, basically I spent my whole week in the garage without social life or doing anything for myself.. I also haven't touched the 240Z' in more than two weeks now, I have only driven the Cressida for a bit this week so that it won't break itself while standing as I'm not using it. The shop will be opened again on Tuesday. Maybe Oscar will be there if someone needs something, I don't know, we will see. GT86 while on the road to Tokyo. ✘-
 -✘ That was this week, so once again big thanks to Zero for coming to our place and trusting us to build his car, appreciate that a lot! Looking forward to see your car competing, feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything. See you guys next week. ✘-
