I stopped by Shine Auto Project on Sunday night to drop off some parts and have a chat with my friend/shop manager there Makito Nakai. The FD that has been sitting outside at the shop for the past year or longer finally got painted. Some teaser shots











So, yea, if anybody need body work done in the area, dont hesitate to hit up Makito there!!!

 

they shot that paint out great, I bet it's gonna look incredible once it gets colorsanded and polished

 

Nice looking paint job!

Lol @ the 240 wheels on the mazda. What engine is going back in the FD? Wankel,LSX?

 

The wheels are temporary. The car has been rotting away outside as an abandoned shell for a year or two. No motor no brakes. I think wankel

 

4 rotor !

 

Or a 3 Rotor turbo!

 

regardless of the number of rotors, i think it should be street or race ported. it would sound epic

 

I agree! A healthy J-Port or Peripheral Port would sound nasty!

 

damn...been looking for an FD shell for a while now. nice!

 

shine ftmfw !!

 

 

If i were to repaint my car, that color or something similar is what I would do. Love the dark gunmetal gray colors.

 

Saw this car in person a few weeks ago. Makito does an amazing job. Can't wait for my pieces to be finished and installed!

 

I wonder if they are going to shave the engine bay, and what kit is getting put on?

 

Looks awesome as is.
