Been a busy week.  Steven's EG hatch is very near completion.   Just waiting on 1 fitting to finish and bleed the brakes and shes complete.  I also went by the paint shop to check out the EF wagon we did the metal work in last month, snapped a few pics while I was there.  Car is in primer and very close to completion as well.  Shell be back in the shop in a week or so for assembly.

There's a new arrival in the shop as well.  Steven's K swap CRZ.  We will be wiring it, doing the exhaust mods and a ton of ins and outs to get her running.  Expect to see the works of All in Fab,  Wireworx and the best parts money can buy.  Ive been looking forward to this one, something new and fun.

Most of the week this week was spent at Austin Smith's shop, Identity Design, finishing up some of the last details of his build.  I always love going up there and hanging with them.  Get to be around some cool people, not by myself for a change, and be around some of the most beautiful cars in the southeast.  Porsche GT2, Dodge Viper, Audi S8, Lamborghini's and Bently's just to name a few, lol. 

Just 1 or 2 ins and outs and Austin's teg ready to roll.  Its been a fun ride with this one. 

Also made some big progress on Steven's hatch, especially since Ive barely been in the shop this week.

Next week we will be finishing Brett's RHD/caged/shaved DC2, Steve's brake and fuel tuck and also completing his Innovative gauge install.   A couple new cars will be in the shop next week as well, so stay tuned for that.  One of them is something very unique.  Thanks for watching.  Now on with the pics.

The 012 TL steering wheel is installed.  Im going to adjust it a little more and it will be good.  The paddle shifters will be fully functional in the upcoming months.  Im sure Austin is ready for a break on modifying it so he can enjoy the car.  This project has been a long one.  Also notice the S2k gauge cluster and ipad in the dash.

Sender out puts on the left,  power ground and light distribution on the right.  All easy to uninstall.  Most of the time when I see gauges wired, there's just crap all under the dash wired into god knows what, lol.  We make you a harness that gets proper power at the proper source, all nice and neat  wired to the factory fuse panel power outputs.  Funny, most dont even know those exist, lol.

These gauges are amazing and well worth the cash spent.  With these 3 gauges you get sooo much.  Oil pressure and temp, water temp and volt meter, and a wideband that has a number of different features.  Very nice package that I would recommend to anyone.  We used Autometer Gauge cups on this one.

Been a super busy week.  Got Mikes turbo EK done.  Intercooler piping, catch can/lines/bungs,  coolant resivuor etc.  Also finished up the suspension work on the BMW 318.  Got 2 new ones in the shop this weekend.  Steven Sirps super clean EG hatch.  This car is already a work of art but with a few more modifications it will be complete.  Were doing a brake and fuel tuck, along with installing all his innovative gauges.  Also have a blast from the past in the shop for some electrical repairs.  Duncan McDonald's EK is definitely one for 2001.  Heres the pics, enjoy.

Mikes functional and powerful EK.

Been busy as hell in the shop lately.  Hasnt been much time for internet stuff.  Ill let the pics speak for themselves.


Doing a 4 pt roll bar with X bars in the RHD DC2.  Also did some shock tower extensions. (not pictured)

Got the piping finished up in this EK.  The catch can is mounted as well.  Just another days work or so and this one will be done.

A super mild shave on a DA Integra.  Just holes and bracket removal, no seam sealer re do.  Also did the brake and wire tuck.  All done on location at the Dannspeed Garage. 

  Got a new one in the shop yesterday.  Mike's functional and clean EJ8.  Still has all the factory options and makes 400hp on pump.  Hes here for some intercooler pipe upgrades, shock tower extensions and a catch can set up.  Also finished the metal work in the bay of Gary's EF Wagon. Just need to get the subframe back on and shes ready to go for body work and paint.  Gary himself well be doing that portion of the job.

Heres a couple of the Wagon.  I also included a pic of what it looked like when it arrived vs now.  The bay is completely reshaped along with new mounts.  Eager to see the finished product on this one.

Been super busy lately on several projects. Ill let the pics do the talking.



The DSM.  Just some firewall work and some welded seams away from being ready for body work.

Gary's EF wagon.  Bay is nearly complete. The body work and paint portion of this bay will be done by the owner himself. 

Freashly painted subframe and new traction bar. Paint was done By Gary(the owner).

A few more ins and outs in the bay, some shock tower extensions and its time for the cage.

The extensions.

This last week a lot of progress was made on the EF Wagon, tons of plate work.  The goal with this bay was to completely shave it but maintain factory lines and contours.  Looks funny right now but in due time you will see. More updates tomorrow. 

Kenny also stopped by with this EK for some ins and outs and I was finally able to get finished product bay pics. Shock towers are repaired now as well. Jason at Rogue Auto Werks did a great job on the blending.  Cant even tell it happened. 

Throughout the week we have gotten quite a bit done on the wagon bay.  The engine is pulled and front end is tore down.  The bay was already previously shaved so in this case everything had to be taken down to bare metal.  We decided to take a different approach with this car.  Going to make all new engine mount brackets.  In fact we got rid of all the extra panels that these EF bays have. 

In order to make the new mounts we had to make some temporary target points for the mounts.  Otherwise we would have to have the engine/trans in the bay and that would make things much more difficult to work around.  Also considering the order we are doing this they were necessary.   Heres some pics of the progress.  Next week well will start the plates. 

  Over the last few days things have been busy.  Finishing up the rhd dc2 and prepping for the roll bar and some last minute details with the blue EM1. 

  Also have 2 new arrivals and both are EF wagons.  The blue wagon(pictured) is getting teardown, full box and shave and some more tuck work and new parts to clean it up.  The brown awd wagon(not pictured) is going to be a big one.  Rhd conversion, k series, full shave and tuck and much much more. 

Got the rhd dc2 all sealed up and prepped for the roll bar. 

This bay is already pretty clean but we are going to make it cleaner.

A few more of Ricco's EM1 bay before it goes.

Today both Joey's and Ricco's EM1's are 99% complete.  Just a few ins and outs and the purple EM1 will be ready to tune.  The red one is basically done as well.  Heres some pics of today's progress.
