This is very cool! I used to have an EG that I never got around to doing anything with. I have always like the EK...you are doing a great job. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Nashville · 02-25-2021, 06:25 PM

So I drove my car about 10 feet out of the garage so I could wash it before paint. Feels good to see it out in the sun.

Also played around with the wheel and wing set up 😄

Nashville · 03-02-2021, 02:52 PM

Exhaust and lower control arms finally came in. Sheesh!

Looking great so far

Are you keeping a budget of the costs incurred?

Not really. I have a vague one, but I'm just afraid of the final number

I can't wait to see the final product.

I have been wanting to do a build also...kinda call it the 2k build. Buy a car for 2 grand and then try to build the car to how I want using parts costing no more than 2 grand each. That would be a fun challenge. Of course, I agree, the end cost would be the problem. LoL

No more than 2 grand would be almost impossible nowadays

Honestly I think it's doable. The only thing that cost me more than two grand was the engine / transmission and the paint job.

Now I'm excited about this build and anxiously waiting for the final results

I had the glass taken out and had to find a new painter. My painter I had lined up became a ghost. So now I'm just nervous all over again lol. Should be next Tuesday when I take the car.

rcracin · 03-09-2021, 07:46 PM

Better he became a ghost before dropping off your car rather than after.

Nashville · 03-15-2021, 05:55 PM

Borrowed a truck from work and rented a trailer. Taking it to paint first thing in the morning, and then picking up my wheels from powder coat.

Nashville · 03-16-2021, 05:06 PM

Finally dropped it off at paint. It's out of my hands now.

Also picked up my wheels from powder coat

Nashville · 03-19-2021, 08:03 AM

Nashville · 03-31-2021, 03:49 PM

Nashville · 04-16-2021, 09:45 AM

The body shop sent me photos of progress.

Any body shop people can tell me what's going on?

Bongoxxx · 04-16-2021, 07:39 PM

Looking good, they are fixing all the imperfections, filling and sanding it so it will be as smooth (if not smoother) then the day it left the factory.

Should I not be worried about the amount of filler?
