The Good And The Bad.  I decided to paint the S13 into JDM two-tone "Bluish-silver" color, since seafoam green and ivory-gold color was exactly not my style. It took a while to recreate the OEM feeling, and it eventually came out really great.  I had to replace the Aero bumper into the stock S13 bumper beforehand due to several reasons. Also, the trim pieces of the Silvia were basically impossible to find, so we had to recreate it through masking and painting the exact section black.  ... Just like this. Well, I replaced the lightweight wheels into R33 stock wheels when it went into the painting room, but I guess I could hold onto those for a while.  Many people now know that I am a sticker junkie, so I put some of my recent collections to the 240SX. Also, the gear knob was replaced as well, with a nice little touch of the cup holder and the drink I had last week.  The rear windshield was also covered with stickers. Well, it could be just a typical progress to my build, but something unfortunate happened while I was away.  Well, it was found with right fender bent and recklessly deformed, and front right coilovers were destroyed. I have no idea who did this over night, but it was partially my fault that I didn't install any of the dashcams, which is really common in Korea. Thankfully only the coilovers and the joints were gone, and the front end was slightly misaligned. If the front end was totalled, I would have just scrapped this car, but luckily it survived.  I was shocked and kinda heartbroken at what happened during the night hit-and-run incident. Time to tell cops about it. |
