JZ S12 BUILD, RIP 2012

Rock a big backpack

any luck with seats?

ahhh so lazy.

what the hell does a MX3 even look like? and how could i notice it if its wrecked  
i guess google can answer this

they're bubbly little turds, just look abouts on the net for some pics.  I think my seats were out of a V6 model, so those are probably better, but the floorpans should all be the same.

I don't remember which of your two had the leak in the center, but I noticed this by chance whilst working on my beastie.

On the firewall, immediately behind the motor,more or less.  This is where the ridge is that seals together the parts of the firewall (there are actually three layers of metal at the outside joint there, you can only see two from up top)

so thats like directly underneath the metal tag.

Unfortunately, you would have to take all the dash and HVAC stuff out to see this part.

But you can test it from the outside of the car by lightly spraying water along that seam to see if you have any leaks.

It may be hard to see up in there with the hood on tho.

checkz it iout

thanks so much, i will try light first, in the garage with the lights off. just so i dont have to spray wata everywhur

ohh okay ill spray some waterz

hey autobody buddies....

how do i get this dent out?
i tried a little banging.... but its actually making small dents and its not popping out..

any suggestions...?
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_1662.jpg)

and i got more free tirezzzz yayyyy
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_1665.jpg)

i feel good today

Nice man, more free tires  

On that dent, you might want to ask Joe (shift_love) who is pro bodyman, he might have some good advice on how to deal with that.

UPDATE**

well i am impatient again

i am drifting sept. 28th also
 
dude its like crack

LOL sterling actually was wrong for once!

regardless, i cant just pop it out some how?

silvia_love is the bodyman, its pretty easy to get you guys mixed up, lol

Joe=silvia_love=bodyman  haha

uh huh, tryng cover for yourself eh?

where do i get those mag style nuts?!?!?!

lol

I would imagine the parts stores would have something that would work, if you need one as an example I think I have one laying about I can send you.

I'll mention it to the dealer contact I have as well, to see if oem ones are still available.

200sxkitcarsilvia_love is the bodyman, its pretty easy to get you guys mixed up, lol

Joe=silvia_love=bodyman  haha

oh dude, that shit is definitely pro style for sure, but as in I meant Joe works in a body shop and is taking classes/professional training in body repair.  what you're working on is pretty damn good tho, hella better than I could pull off!

I was looking more at the seam at the top of the firewall above the trans, those pics that i took, I don't think its rust actually.  I think what that is there is the rubbery yellow seam sealer burning off, because it exhibits the same characteristics as the stuff elsewhere that I've lit on fire.  I'm beginning to think that its actually just burned brownish over the years as a result of the engine heat directly on the other side of the firewall.  The EGR tube comes rather close to it....

FOUDN THE MAG NUTS AT NAPA

thell be in tomorrow

UPDATE***

anyways,
i tried to patch the power steering line, eres my turn out so far

haha david, the metal tape idea FTMFW.

Xanohaha david, the metal tape idea FTMFW.

and the pressure is still going to bleed thru it all

BUT
it won't be squirting all over the place, which is good.  You really need to sink some bucks in getting another one, tho, eventually  

looking good tho!

UPDATE**

well i drove on my messed up rim today after mounting a new tire, it seems fine so far..
ill just mount it on track and leave it on track to be safe

got more tires mounted, added the new fresh nuts,

FINISHED MY FIRST WELD EVER
and BOY, do i suck!! i dont know what the fuck to do guys!

my first weld is solid, air tight, but my second keeps leaking, its hard to fill in the little dips

dont mind the random metal hanging, ill cut that soon

(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_1728.jpg)
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/100_1727.jpg)

? i tried haha
(the weld is black because i painted it for protection)

heres my old exaust, (im in the backround too) haha
(http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k20/gamefreak291/DSC_574.jpg)

shit dude, its not the worst welding job in the world, hell the "professional" welding job I had done on my 350 dollar exhaust system looks like fucking ass.

Ur not the only one that sucks as welding.  I fabbed my charge pipe today and damn I suck balzak @ welding. Whatever gets the job done though.  Good shit

Yeah I don't think you need to worry about your welding skills. Me and my friend spent time fixing all the welds that a muffler shop did before I bought the car. There is globs of metal on some parts that I have no idea what they were trying to accomplish and there was still a hole in the side of the glob that we had to re weld and patch. Oh well, as easy as the exhaust was to weld I think im going to fab up a full 2.5 inch exhaust this weekend. Pictures for sure will be there for all to see my beginner welder skills

hmm well i still have a few holes in my second weld,

the problem is is that the first weld i did outside of the car... now welding under the car, next to the rotor and the rear suspension is jutst so damn hard to get too

No worries man, it takes time to get used to.  Welding under the car like that is a bitch, and it rarely looks super nice, and I've done enough of it, lol.  As long as it holds, you can fill in the little divots and holes with sealer available for mufflers/pipes, etc., from your local parts store.
