mztykal's '03 1E7 Spyder...!!!

mztykal · Post by **mztykal** » Thu Aug 06, 2009 1:05 am

So I finally have another day off and I am going to start my build thread! I've had the car since the beginning of May! Bought if with 32k miles on it, great condition, just needed a detail.

Here it is the first day under my ownership!

Sorry all pictures were taken with my iPhone as I can't find either of my digicams. LOL!

After a wash, clay, wash, buff, sealant, and a vacuum and interior detail!

Pic of the daily ('08 Camry), and a combo picture!

Decided it was too high and I needed a header to get rid of the cats.

Rims finally came in, but no time to install the tires, so random picture!

Finally had a day off to get the tires installed a couple weeks ago! Perfect!

Next set of pictures will be the install/fitment of my L'creation front bumper, TRD sides and rear.

Hope to have the car complete by the end of this month at the latest!

K finally finished the bodykit install. Lots of cutting involved. Still gotta glass some stuff and do a little finish work till it fits perfect.

Thank god I do bodywork and paint or this would've killed my wallet at a shop.

From the front...

And from the back...

Thanks! I try on all my cars. There's around 4 that were between my last Neon and this car. LOL! All were finished and sold.

Haha just noticed you're in the PA. My homie will be moving back home in a year, so I'll probably be around your way a few times a year. He's a badass tattoo artist. LOL!

i like the body kit and wheels, cant wait to see it painted and in one color.

Nice project. Can't wait to see it all painted!

Oh and...those seem like a rather 'normal' wheel choice compared to what I have seen you go with in the past. You have something in store for them, don't you?!

looking good I would have to say. I knew a guy in San Diego that had teh Veilside widebody kit on the same year. Looks badass on the car. Cant wait to see it color matched.

Hey whats up! Your white neon was my favorite! Glad to see you come around again.

The spyder is looking really nice so far. I like the wheel choice. What other plans do you have after the body kit?

Damn dude, that is one sick lookin MR2! Very clean!

If all goes well I'll be in Vegas with the car and a new house. LOL! Maybe I'll actually make it to a Neon meet.

Tam · Post by **Tam** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 12:56 pm

Are you planning to sell the spyder after you're done with it, just like you sold all the other cars?

Or is this one here to stay?

mztykal · Post by **mztykal** » Fri Aug 07, 2009 2:17 pm

I'm keeping this one. House and a Lotus is next.

He moves back up there in a year, so probably around then. Other than that I have no reason to go visit. LOL!

Just got done fiberglassing the front bumper and the side skirts. Should have those done in a couple weeks, gotta finish the Audi kit I'm painting first.

I'll post pics of the Audi kit when I'm done.

Just finished painting a Audi today. I'll post pictures after I put it back together with the kit.

mztykal · Post by **mztykal** » Sun Sep 20, 2009 8:24 pm

Finally finished it today! Car is washed and all clean now. Full detail on Wednesday in time for my homies funeral (RIP Reid Manuel) and the memorial cruise for Travis on Sunday.

Installing the rear and sides...

Front getting fitted on...

All done, and test drove to the girlfriends house...

Back at home and it's all cleaned up!

Next on the mods list is a supercharger and more engine mods!

All paint and bodywork done by me.

I think I'm build a friends '00 Hyundai Elantra next. LOL!

Pics of the red Audi I painted will be up at the end of this week.

Front looks awesome... not sure how I feel on the skirts. The thing on the end looks weird to me.

They're TRD side skirts. LOL! I was thinking of shaving the "vents" on the rears but I couldn't bring myself to do it...

Indeed.

Not feeling the kit, but I can appreciate the work you put in for sure. Wish I knew how to paint!
