Alredy messing with the CedricSo Yeah as I said yesterday I went grab a Cedric that I bought from @franklin's friend For a pretty decent price and the car didn't look bad on the ad but when I got it and inspected the car had tons of problems especially the poorly done Swap and wiring issues I almost gave up since the steelies that he had got tires that were dead a long time ago.
.  So I offred his friend would put the old wheels and take the car to the shop that I work and he also dropped the price 500 Bucks after I told and explained all the work that I needed to do in order to have a car in good shape  So after he got there and I paid his uber back as thanks for the way he understood and helped me, I've put an old set of r33 wheels that I had storage an then traced a plan that consisted in: 1-Strip the car to the rolling Shell 2-Primer and re-paint 3-Re-Make the engine mounts and tranny mounts 4-Install the 350hp SR20DET 6MT S15 Powertrain That I pulled from the Silvia 5-Wire the engine and Basic electronics 6-Re-do the car's Audio and Misc wirings 7-Clean interior and Re-install  Sanding the car was pretty easy since the shop had pretty legit bodywork tools and the body was in good shape and had no misalignments (the main thing that made me do the offer) after an hour and half the car was in a booth being primed  Then while the car was Drying to receive the paint I went with all the measures that I had and started building the new engine mounts which allowed me to put the engine way lowered and have way better drivetrain angles. Also took on the opportunity to start organizing the entire loom of the Car so I could save time when putting it back.  The Car was painted on a single Stage PU based black paint which I did in 4 layers each spaced 15 mins from each other. The original plan was to paint it Special Silver but as I want to use this car to shred as I can I decided to go with something more simple.  When the paint Finished Baking I already had the mounts to put the engine in which I did in only 20 minutes with already everything bolted But then it was 22:30 and I Started 17 PM and had to sleep so I could work tomorrow but I decided to push Further to finish a least more than half of the list  Wich I did in one hour the engine was wired with a loom in two parts so I could easily remove the engine in case I needed it, Then I decided to quit knowing I had a 20 min trip to home (Which the Freshly tuned 86 did in 14 min LOL) and pushed the car on the booth and set it to bake the paint slowly for a better finish. Some of you may think I went too fast on this build but you guys must understand that I work in a fully equipped shop and that I've been working on this for 3 years by now so I have lot's of experience in order to build a car this fast.
