Thanks Songha.



Update: Working on the body lines.










Still haven't start on the right side yet.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: Sprayed on a light cost of primer just to help me see where the un-even spots are.






Left side tail lights is starting to look good.


But still need to spend more time on the right side.


After a bit of sanding, the base of the rear bumper is now even out.


Here some pics to compare the right side skirt before sanding and the left side skirt after sanding.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: Got more work done, rear bumper is getting there.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: Wow, its been a month since the last update, gotta keep this thread alive!

[BlueDragons]

Thanks Andreas! Yup, still have a lot of work ahead of me.

[IHateMakingUserNames]

Wow this work is amazing! I won't be attempting to do anything like this for a long time mainly because I don't want to ruin my GT-R and my TC is already being used for a project.

Good god Jason.

I don't understand... I really do not understand on where this bodywork is all going towards now...

I understand you went from an R32 to an R33(Am I right?) but now... You're just going out of this world with this amount of work... Unbelievable work my friend. I don't even think words can express how god-like this project is.

Thanks Tom! Yup, you're correct, this is going to be a R33 GT-S, with the JDL Tuning body kit.

Update: Got a Evo X in the shop today!













After a simple clean up.


Now its time to take the body piece apart. First, the side mirrors were broken and were melted to the body and attached to a small nail.





Next is the windows, have glue and scratches on it.


After I removed the front grill, I noticed 2 tiny hair line cracks, nothing but a little crazy glue can't fixed.



Light buckets, lense and grills after cleaned up.



Windows restored.

[XMDrifter]

i'm workin' towards being like you, but the longer i watch, the farther your skill seems to rise away from possibility

Haha, thank for the comment XMD, and the most important key is to practice, practice and practice.


Update: Got rid of the glue on the trunk.




Then started on the lip spoiler.





While waiting for the putty to dry, I went to fix up the cracked lip and some other minor body damages.


Found some dents on the bumper.


And after it got repaired.



Also fixed the side mirrors mounts.



After a coat of primer.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: More details added on the rear bumper of the R33.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update:

The R33's rear bumper have been smoothed out a bit.



Evo X got some primer on the trunk because the white paint is having a hard top covering up the red plastic base.




Got another car today, its a BMW E92 M3. This is how it looks like when it first came in.



After the body pieces got removed.

[XMDrifter]

that evo looks so boss with the do-luck duckbill lip spoiler

[theoriganalRiD3R1967]

Those i-waver m3s are so nice lol, wish i had one, if you turn it into a track car I'll be VERy jelous

I agree 100%. that is one crazy looking evo.

[Dr. Kustom]

Thanks guys!

Update: Bad news about the Evo X is that it need to be re-do, because the red keep showing through the white paint.

This time I used grey primer to cover the whole body.



After 2 coats of pure white. Seems like its working.



Got some work done on the M3 as well. Started to make the front lip.



Also painted the headlights for more aggressive feel.

Stock headlight.


Painted headlight.


Left is painted, right is stock.


Got the front lip and both headlights finished.

[Dr. Kustom]

Update: The Evo X is finished.
