- This is what I have wrought. A 1998 Daewoo Nubira modified for track use by means of the least possible funds. Behold, a picture essay documenting the most recent changes.
- This is a sheet of aluminum.
- I cut said aluminum to make a glorious shape.
- Then I held the glorious shape up while my friend used self-tapping screws to temporarily bond said shape to the mighty Daewoo.
- Thus affixed to the mighty Daewoo, preparations for yet more glorious shape cutting began.
- Further preparation.
- Whereupon we did permanently affix the glorious aluminum to the mighty Daewoo by means of these little bolts we’d weld to the chassis and then thread through the aluminum.
- Oil cooler. You can see how I protected the ridiculous steel braided lines from themselves by means of rubber strips originally intended for gardening.
- More oil line routing porn.
- Thanks to Turbo Spark for the very nice fabricated bumper support.
- Whence I did affix the fiberglass vents made from pork packaging.
- Said fiberglass, said pork packaging.
- This might be the first wiring I’ve ever done that works. Relocated an external emergency light into the engine bay so I can see what’s wrong when the engine pops. Did the same thing on the other side, too.
- Surprise! More rust on the passenger’s side.
- Viola, rust patch for the passenger’s side.
- And the other one.
- The prize! The rust patches you see above all came from this literal hunk of trash.
- This is the other side, after a little finishing.
- The thermal panel from which I made the longer rust patches.
- Here is a rusty, spare Daewoo trunklid.
- Here is my grinder, my parking garage and my bald spot.
- Here are the chunks of trunk that would later become my hood vents.
- Here are my hood vents after trunk-hood transplant surgery.
