Re: Varnell's '99 J32 6MT Coupe EX-L
I need to clean her up, I'm ecstatic to see this finally coming together. She's at the shop now getting an alignment and inspection. Gonna keep the ride height for a month until the springs settle. Then it's time for some wider wheels and slamming her on the ground.
Thanks again, Adam. The clearcoat on these shaved calipers look sic!

Good to see it's still doing well without any issues. Hopefully you'll stick around for when my car goes under the knife, because I know I'll have questions/issues. Just need a few more parts before I'm ready to put the car down for a bit

Totally forgot about the calipers haha. Looks good! Both our cars are in about the same shape. No side skirts, fenders, or front bumper. But mine is onjack stands

For sure! I'll stick around to answer any questions either of you have concerning the swap when the time comes. I'll also try to make my swap thread a bit more cohesive before summer break is over.
Are you doing body work, too? Can't wait to see your next setup. I'm going to start fitting the Typ W side skirts in the next couple weeks. I miss scraping the road. lol

I miss driving my car too. I'm definitely going to radius the fenders. Not sure about flares or not. If so they're be metal flares. Also not sure what size wheels I'm running so I have a lot to figure out.

Front sway bars finally on!
Cleaned her up a bit today while my girlfriend cleaned, I mean, had me also clean her Camry.
Finally found a spoilerless black trunk lid. I underestimated how time consuming it would be to get it to close properly and line up the body lines. The final result was absolutely worth it, though. I ordered some rear bumper clips, so hopefully I can fix the sagging issue before I resort to buying a new bumper cover.

Thanks. It's funny how I never noticed your BBK until I bought these from Adam. I'd really like something similar for the rear, but I honestly don't think this car needs anymore stopping power. lol

Feeling productive today. Finally got around to prepping my front lip and trying my hand at spray painting it.
Clean, sand, clean, primer, wait, sand, clean, wait, primer, wait, sand, clean, wait...aaand black again. lol
Waiting for it to dry now, then adding some clear coat. I've watched a few videos where wetsanding and polishing spray paint comes out pretty nice. I figured it's just going to get banged up anyway.
