Okay so I decided to take a day off work and got somewhat bored at the shop and decided to experiment. First I wanted to do a little work to the old drift car to shine her up for the event this weekend, and then figured why not try an evo wheel tell me what you guys think just did a little it was alot of work and time.

The sand marks will come out with more work but I have yet to finish them. I would also do the whole wheel just experimented on the spokes.

 

opinions welcome good or bad

 

.... that does not look like a 4G63 .... what is it?

 

If you read the first post thats the drift car witch has a SR20. The wheel is off my EVO tho

 

OK. Did not realize the 'old drift car' was non-evo.

 

Yup just a rice box 240sx with a sr20 and alot of suspension

 

i like it! Lets see some better pics

 

well I took me almost 30 mins to get it down to bear metal with a low 100 grit paper on my orbital sander. lol then I took my ziz wheel with a scotch brite pad then 320-2500 to get a decent finish plus then buff it. So I would estimate one wheel would take 6-7 hours from start to finish. The valve cover on the SR came out pretty good

 

yikes! wheels looks awesome, but I don't think I'd have that much patience to polish that like I polished my hood

 

How did you do your hood? Can you post some pictures of the finished product.

 

got an extra hood. Basically, get the can of aircraft stripper ( the jar with the goop is better) apply with paint brush a few layers...let it eat at the paint, pressure wash it, and do it a few more times with the same process. Then wet sanded it like crazy, 800, 1000, 1400, went up to 2000...then polish it with a buffer. Still needs a bit more, but now Im wasting my time and money on rebuilding the motor lol.

I want to get an extra set of fenders too, to see how it looks like..

here's the thread

god that looks so good. But I feel that its a bit out of place. To bad it was not a MR you could do the roof and then somehow the trunk and **** would be awesome. I like the hood alot i guess im just to much of a pus to rock it. Plus my hood is CF i dont have my stocker that was a mistake.

 

thats why I got an extra hood

I still have the yellow one hanging against the garage wall

 

my buddy did the same to his wheels on his TC and i was wanting to do it on my evo. post pics of the finshed product when your finshed, im sure a lot of people are anxious to see it!

 

I will as soon as I find the time to finish it up.
