alright here is what i got done today after lowering Tims S2000. Stripped the drivers door jam and quarter glass where the rivets were left from the lexan windows that were in it.




the passengers side is done as well just didnt take any pictures of it...then i got the front stripped as well.






I decided to just undercoat that part because it would do a bit of sound control and it would just be ten thousand times easier than prepping it for painting, and its more durable than paint and clear.





this is when you know its time to take a shower...lol



and here are a couple pictures of my front suspension and my steering wheel

Very cool work Nick!

Is this strictly a track car or show car or both?

Looks good Nick!

Too bad about the s2k. I was actually considering selling mine a while ago because everything I want to do to it is so damn expensive. But I still have it.

I wish I knew how to do that kind of work. I want to pick up another project car. It is awesome to see all the work you do...and you do it yourself. That is great!

I think parts for the S2k are easier to find cheaper than Scion stuff... There's a lot of stuff out there... Just don't go JDM and you'll be fine...

Friend of mine has an s2k and the parts are definitely not cheaper. RWD sports car parts are expensive.

Heh! Yah, but all the good looking stuff is JDM. :D

I heard you got an s2k also! That must be your black one pictured above? Very nice.
