Today was spent prepping @rphoto_nerd R34 Skyline sedan for wrap. So a good hand wash with @detailgarageaustin chemicals, and clay bar. I was only able to finish about half of that, so I need to continue the clay bar on 65% of the car I didn’t get to today. But lots of progress.
It’s getting a beautiful Midnight Violet 2 wrap from @Aura Premium Vinyl . I, believe that’s the correct color. She picked the color out before we even had the car here in America. So excited to be seeing this through. Stay tuned for part 2 of the wrap project.
Do you guys think I’ll need to hire a professional or do you think I got this?! If you made it this far let me know in the comments! I’ve got a lot of content I’ve been shooting so you’ll all be spammed soon enough. 🤣

After tracing the control board all morning and mapping the circuits, was finally able to get the lights, siren, intercom, and aux input working! Now to make some custom DTM connectors to clean it up and integrate into the OEM power system!

Catching up on posting some stuff from this last week.
Customer's RH1 S-MX radiator lower tank came separated from the core and would no longer hold coolant. To get it back on the road ASAP we modified a CR-V radiator to fit the S-MX mount points.
All back together and delivered to the customer!

Huge shout out to @nerdy.m3 for the assist on designing the spinning center caps for the Garson Vortestar DAD wheels on the Y33 Cima. She is about ready to hit the market so the Stagea can get a few upgrades once our customers are all caught up!!

What does a Skyline, classic pickup, & a Mach 1 have in common. They all use the best body shop in Tx.
I swung by to swap tiny trucks and had to get some footage of the amazing work Joaquin has going on at his shop. From the frame up restoration of the pickup to the Mach 1, and even @rphoto_nerd skyline that was in a fender bender. The work is beyond incredible and I had to share.
Rae’s car is about to get a wrap. What color do you guys think it’s going to be?
I’ve been under the weather this week so I’ve been laying low, but I’m starting to feel more like myself and less like the bug from the mucinex commercials. 🤣 more to come!
I know I haven't been posting in a whole minute but I am a mechanic down so a bit slammed! Here's something quick from unloading the car hauler today at least to make room for getting everything finished up....soooooo tired y'all but pushing through it!
How about the ultimate JDM VIP luxury ride? This one has big wheels, its Rear wheel drive, tinted windows, a tuned VQ30DET with a Nistune ECU, lowered stance and a smooth ride. Men, ladies, and theydies, check out the Nissan CIMA.
