Kuppa's White DA build oooohhh yeeaaahhh

GENERAL General G2/G2IC Discussion
1

so here it is im starting my own build thread i have had the car for a couple months and have done some stuff but ill throw some pics from th git go

The day i bought it

the other side and after i polished it up

pulled the fender out and tinted the side windows at work “learning”

Engine bay as i bought it

This is whats really wrong with the door

The interior is in good shape

Then i replaced the door found one that matched really close

Another reason i did a new door and fender pluss it only cost $100

dont forget to tape when pulling or installing new painted panels especially when by your self
did the whole door exchange solo

After oh yeah looks so good

well thats all the pics i got for now. im waiting for my rims and i gotta sell my tires cause i got 195-50-15 and got to upgrade to 16" for $20 cause they were out of 15" and were on back order. also im waiting for the rest of my tax money for my coilovers and camber kit. Ill get some pics of the exhaust on and just some general outside pics. I would have more form the SEattle meet but only 2 people showed up so we didnt take any pics

Great job especially for doing all yourself. Fun times alone in the garage…I know that feeling…LOL

7

Is that a dc shifter? And where did you buy the CF knob?

8

Not to talk shit, but your Intake looks incomplete. Looks like it needs to finish looping down to the battery.

9

i got from Ebay but it genuine NRG product

10

no its cool its a piece of shit im getting a new one soon

11

Is the shifter egay too? It looks the same height as stock, usually a good SS will sit shorter and cut off the throw length :shrug:

12

Nice progress! keep up the good work

13

Its APC and a short shifter works by lowering the pivot point so the throw is shortend not by makeing the whole thing shorter. I bought it on ebay too

14

Tonight im gonna change the earl and put my new radiator with gates hoses in

15

looks real nice man lots of work done so far, subscribed, one question was it hard to replace the side mouldings and what did you do to prevent paint chiping while doing it, also whst did you use to remove them thanks man…

16

The paint shouldn’t chip if you do it right for the door and fender i did it from behind so i took off the door panel and used needle nose pliers to take out the clips and on the quarter panel i used 2 really thin putty knives taped up to pusht he clips in on the top and bottom of the molding

17

just thought id share this just got it thurs night

18

replace my radiator and used gate hoses new thermostat and a new rad cap also changed the earl to synthetic and new filter
