spot putty in the engine bay tonight. i can really appreciate the effort that goes into what body work guys do. this stuff is really time consuming to do it right... i think i'll give the engine bay a final sand and then it'll be ready for some paint.

and here's my new toy i just put together today:

weirtech · « **Reply #225 on:** January 16, 2010, 12:29:43 AM »

ok, i got excited and bolted in the rear end. the beauty part is that it isn't coming out again!

this is where the fuel cell is going, right behind the diff.

passenger side wheel well:

driver's side, i took the rotor off to show the clearance right through the subframe:

fuck no, they're weak sauce. this is an s14. cheaper, more plentiful and lots more options for upgrades too.

i personally never liked spot putty. i'm probably retarded, but i always just had better luck using straight up bondo and taking longer that way sanding

d-rail · « **Reply #233 on:** January 16, 2010, 07:21:40 AM »

looks bad ass man. wish I could get that motivated to work on my own shit

PhilStubbs · « **Reply #234 on:** January 16, 2010, 09:01:24 AM »

i think i would fully mock up the car before paint. if you still have to fab turbo stuff things could get scratched.

spot putty is perfectly fine in small amounts. if you try to use it to fill something too big, it shrinks and takes forever to dry.

viscous type.

The s14 is the better choice considering strength & replacement cost. The lockup won't be as aggressive as a geared or clutch type, but it'll still do the job as long as the fluid is still viable. Hopefully it didn't come out of a m4d JDM drifter-mobile. They tend to overheat those viscous diffs and gum it up.

This is looking very, very nice. Being a perfectionist will pay off.

I agree about mocking everything up before painting. I've learned the hard way. I swear I think if I don't paint something then it will work fine, if I paint it then something will be off and I'll have to redo it.

Sick build BTW. I guess that's the entire s14 subframe. Looks good.

Very nice work, sir. This thing is finally getting done.
