The loats been sleeping lately and I'm going out of my mind not being able to drive. Here are some little projects that have kept me busy.

First up my amp was just floating around in my trunk, and using up the minimal trunk space. I could even fit a kidnapped midget in...



I am taking a metals class this year so it dawned on me that I could use the shop to my advantage. I worked on a bracket the bolted up to the taillights and pre-existing holes in the bottom of the trunk. Lots of measuring, but some how it fit perfect. Here is the progression, it fits clean and I sprayed some black krylon on it to go into stealth mode...









Next up is the battery cutoff. Since the car wasnt getting driving for a while I figured I'd make my life a little easier and put the cutoff on...



The stock engine bay looks pretty weak, figured I'd paint the covers to make it look a little better.
Before...



After...





Hoping to get some driving in next week, I'm praying for rain to wash away this aluminum eating hell salt

 

Nice! I like the color. One of the guys here on our local forums has a yellow lotus. They are sweet cars.

 

The car looks great!

Valve covers are awesome. You did a sweet *** job on that.

 

Great tasteful additions man

 

Niiice ride, ha ha... whats the MSRP on them?

 

Everything looks awesome!

 

I'm loving the valve covers, what paint did you use for that?

 

63K in toronto as far as i know

 

couple different shades of krylon fusion

 

I've been thinking about painting my covers...I might look into that, thanks.

 

Dude, I saw a yellow lotus like that in destin the other day. Elise, maybe?

Anyways...arent those things rated at like...190hp? but weigh like...less than 2000?

 

Yeah, they weigh just over 1900. There are *** loads of 220whp+ Elises on ebay. That's some ba **** right there...
