finally, at long long last, its done. i can't beleive i'm actually typing this. just doesn't feel real. now that i've come to this day, i don't know what to do or say!

fixed, the accelerator cable, the seats, the bonnet, and finished the paint. taking her for a test drive tomorrow to see what gives, and i'm getting a cut and polish done to finish off the paint in one go. now that i've waited thisl ong there's no point hurrying it home without that... plus anyways i have to visit bara to sort out the stereo and pay a visit to the electrician as well.

the devil is in the details. those sickspeed red washers really look nice on white. hot damn

supra this one's for you. since you asked where the steering was... <3

its good to see the hood back on again.

... and even better to see it closed!

a few small things remain:

fog lights and turn signals in front to be fixed

i got a hella supertone horn. yeah, thought wtf. that needs to be mounted

seatbelt buckles have to be fixed. those need a mount to be fabricated, for which, unfortunately, i need that damned tinker again. no idea when he'll return

umm...

err...

that's it!

here's my tinker-baas who really has perfected the art of procrastination:

battery gave out before i could take any shots of the seats in place. tomorrow tomorrow...

I know man. I can't describe what it's like to sit in that cockpit now. The gsr is dead. Well and truly.

It's like a blood horsepower overload. 270 straight up in your jugular!

Congratulations Komi on a great build, I think this was the first thread I posted on AL

The car is a good clean and a professional photo shoot/touch up away from your initial goal. Guess I'll keep an eye out for OctaneHeads FB page...

macroxx · July 14, 2013

Close enough huh..? Well at least you are only a good dusting cloth and vacuum clean away from it

The funniest thing I've said while operating was "oh shit!! Oops!" while cutting into a mans scrotum. Best part is he was under spinal anesthesia and he heard it!

No harm done tho. Rest assured
