My GS project
Greetings!
I’ve been here quite a while and made some posts previously, but here is what I have been up to recently!
This entire project started off with a mate saying he has this trashed vertex kit, an idea of rebuilding it and a full subframe lying around.
I jumped at the chance of getting the kit, bonus: it came with 2 OEM bumpers too.
I also grabbed the subframe off him and rebuilt that with strong-flex red bushes as I didn’t want the ride to be too stiff. While removing the rear frame I found some rust and attempted to sort it out, personally I don’t think I’ve done too badly considering I’m not a welder. I also managed to get some Ls400 calliper’s super-cheap with a rebuild kit and fitted them. Thankfully they were a straight bolt on as I already previously fitted some Hardrace RCA blocks.
My end goal with this phase of the GS was to get looking as good as I could make it in the time frame I set myself
Once I was happy with it I had a mini photoshoot with my then GF of 6 years at the 2026 JAPSHOW at SantaPod and proposed to her.
She said yes!!
Now onto many, many more projects!
TLDR: I cut up 4 bumpers to make them into 2 hybrid plastic fibreglass bumpers. Rebuilt a subframe, rebuilt and fitted LS400 brake calliper’s, welded the end plates back together, wrapped the car and gained a Life Partner
