Red Pepper Racing

Before:















This was after i owned the car for about a year. I was involved in a rear-end collision and had done numerous other stupid things to trash the car. The tranny was also on its way out at this point.

As of now:











new tranny (thanks Tom!!)
new side skirts
new front bumper and lip
new intake
krylon paint job
some rust repair
New header panel
new corner lenses

New mint fenders will soon be taken off my 86 Si and transferred to this one.

Im far from done, but i think im finally getting somewhere.

enjoy,

Jacques

Im a sucker for symmetry, thus the exhaust.

Car was $850 with a bad alternator drug out of a farmer's field. For the rest, check it out in the garage.

thanks for the compliments,

Jacques

lookin good! keep it up!

did the duals help at all?

not that i noticed, i just liked the look (go ahead, call it rice!)

Nice looking car so far..nice work...looks good..keep it up

I love progress updates!

I also admire you doing the work yourself, that is commendable.

Slap a coat of black on the header panel, even if the car is beat, the uniformity of colour will fool anyone!

Cheers,

that gives me ideas

do the USDM si's have sunroofs?

yup, and i wouldnt have it any other way.

As soon as i fix the oil leak the car is mechanically sound.

All that's really left on the body is to finish the bondo/fiberglass on the passenger side and sand down the fiberglass on the driver's side. Then it's just minor stuff before paint.

enjoy,

Jacques

Good spraypaint job ...I need to redu mine, but I kinda wanna wait adn do it nicely

it looks better in the pictures than it really is, but it isnt too bad and i was suprised with the quality myself (especially since it was my first time trying it). I didnt really want to rattlecan it but it looked so trashy before that anything was an improvement.

Rattlecan looks great if you do it right:



(and don't look at it too closely )

Cheers,
