My GS300 build - Junction Produce themed

Whattap fellas, I rarely post here. Im mostly on the CL forum. I wanted to share my build. I posted these pixes on the CL forum. Anyway, nothing new to go OOOO for on this one. I'm from Guam and building a fully themed JP GS here. All the parts I got, I ordered from the local JP rep..it took a while to get here only because these things are made to order. But the good part is, Guam is close by Japan and it takes bout 6 days for the ship to arrive here. On to some pixes...

this is what my buddy called me for today...to let me know that there was work done to the roof area before i bought the car. dis really sux because he says that theres potential bubbling to occur in the long run especially with the weather here on Guam...rain hot rain hot rain hot. freakn BS man..just bout the whole entire roof was worked on. i bought this second hand from the dealer and a buddy of mine is gonna do some research to see what happened during the first owner's time. so for now, he'll redo the roof the best he can to prevent the bubbling from happening soon, fast, or whatever u wanna call it. ill update this thread as i visit the shop.

A lot of the guys are saying to keep it..i wanted to but the damn paint is expensive. hahahaha..im being lame with spending for it though. 
 
[QUOTE=Andrew11;439272]Damn some of those boxes look like they hold some really wide wheels lol!! good luck im looking fwd to the turn out[/QUOTE]
the left stacks are 19x 9.5&10.5 for my friend's G37 in Hawaii. i shipped em off not too long ago, so if im not mistaken, he might probably be the only one there with the New Scara Japans...

so its end of day Thursday here on Guam 6:30pm and went to the shop to see how things went. started the painting process and this is the first coat, any imperfections will be taken cared of..again, pieces are painted/cleared off the car...and will be redone again as a whole.

the body shop painted the door caps without fitted them? if they did they will need to redo it...lots of work need to fit those properly.

Ahh man I thought you were gonna keep it tha black cherry color, O well it should come out tits. JP kit is one of my favs...

i really cant wait on this one

Man I cant wait to see when this car is all put together. keep it up :biggthumpup:

Sucks you aren't keeping it Cherry, but understand about the finances, since the Cherry paint would be a bit more expensive than black.   Can't wait to see her all done.

HOLY JUNCTION PRODUCE BATMAN!! Love it!!

[QUOTE=02 camry le;440407]i really cant wait on this one[/QUOTE]
 
yup, but no rush since the show im aiming for aint till end of april..so they say.

it's just the first layer of paint and clear, it's gonna get redon as a whole. but for the most part...the panel fitted, just had to get screws for it.

im anxious too..its getting there. hehehe..

no rush on the build since the carshow im aiming for here aint till end of april. nothin big on the progress except some minor sanding on some areas. maybe this weekend will be the final layer of paint and clear as a whole.
 
[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/Type_RICEBURNER/CIMG0241.jpg[/IMG]
 
panels fit fine. just gotta go to the local hardware for some screws..

they take a lot of modding.  I believe it rubs on the doors....unless they fixed the mould

Ok, so I visited the shop. Just a small update...the passenger side panels fitted perfectly with no panels rubbing, alignment is nice. The driver side panel almost fitted perfectly..rear door panel nips the front when opened, but my friend said no big issue just a small shave and sanding will fix it, alignment is good. Other than that, most of the car is sanded. I'll need to get him 2 gallons of paint and clear again for the final layer once everything is assembled. Was thinking about high glamour clear..any thought on high glamour vs. 2 gallons of regular clear finish?

2 gallons of clear and 2gallons of base? Don't go cheap on the clear.

look into Glasurit clear. I shoot all my cars with it. lays on heavy and easy to polish. Not sure if you get it down there tho, it water based.

great progress looking forward to this completed

whattap fellas, nothing really new lately, just taking our sweet time. car is all sanded down and ready for the second layer of paint and clearing. aiming by mid april to get everything completed. other than that, these came in this morning...new oem lights. i didnt wanna sand and buff the old ones. since the car is getting a fresh make over, i thought id replace the ones also.

[QUOTE=projecty33;445047]I'm a noob to paintjobs, so whats wasteful? not removing the old paint?[/QUOTE]
 
 
No. painting a car to sand it down and repaint it again. I've honestly never seen that done before unless there were imperfections in the paint work.

update. trunk's getting redone cuz some dust got to it. hood's hiding under some blanket and will be on later. i scrapped out the autozone  trimmings i bought cuz it didnt flush out on the bumpers, and i knew bout it. i just wanted to see how much it didnt. i tried doubling it and it looks good, but i decided to just order OEMs from the dealer next week. also tires will be in then so ill be getting them mounted. sorry for the crappy crackberry pixes, i didnt have my digi cam on hand. till then...peace!

Lookin good homie!! Can't wait to see it all done up!!!

^^^Yup I can't for this build to be dialed in and finish.

[QUOTE=speedaddict;448268]Get that suspension dialed in now! :biggthumpup:[/QUOTE]
 
Whattap Thomas, still working on the suspension tuning..cambering to get it to the look i want. the car's done already..just waiting for the weekend to put on the small stuffs to finish it off.

 19x9 and 19x10

Looking good bro

Anyways, fellas....just a lil update and small teaser. The car's done..yes, its done. Well, somewhat. Im hesitant to post pixes cause I havent fully installed all the small pieces. And also, I havent had the time to tweak the suspension and camber a bit more. So for me right now, Im not satisfied and not ready to show it off. I do have something to show off for you guys though.
So the shipment came from japan. customs was being anal bout the crate and what came in. im still missing some small stuff...FOG LIGHTS!!! Junction rep is gonna find out what happened.

Type II JP Exhaust. and YES!! it's brand new and discontinued! If you guys order exhausts from JP, youll be given the Type III. I swear man, my local Junction rep can work wonders. In fact, he's building a JP LS430. I guess the best part bout living on Guam is that we're only 3hours by plane from Japan.

Sweet build man, and your painter's method of painting is actually the best method for achieving a perfect finish. Hence why your paint looks amazing, so it may not be the most efficient method to painting a car but your painter is one of those rare types that really care about attention to detail. Props on your build and purchases!

awesome...got the discontinued exhaust.  All those JP parts are truly balling.

nice..wouldve liked to see it black cherry cuz not many people have a JP kit on that..but cant go wrong with black..ur car is super shiny!

^^ hey wazzap Ricky, that's true. let me get sick of taking care of this black first, then maybe ill go back to the black cherry. hahaha...
 
tonite, im gonna be a deuche bag with teaser pixes. if anything, its nothing new to you guys anyway..after all, we've all seen JP GSs many times. and the ones we usually see are way ahead of mine. some friends will be doing a photoshoot next week, so ill share those pixes instead.

Love these teasers great job. Yeah keeping black clean is a PITA.

simple and classic styling...JP was king for a reason.  gonna look great

niice =)

very nice build thread and really clean car man. what are the wheel specs on the scara's?

jp ftw

some pixes from a small shoot my friends did for a Guam local blog site hafadaze.com. my other friend has a few more higher quality ones that i havent gotten yet since he's too busy doing weddings and model stuff lately. anyway, i still havent found the time to tweak the camber for spacing and ride height..hopefully ill get all the small things done to finish up the exterior since summer's around.

Are you speaking of this shot? I was going with it had that look because of the filter they used on the pictures. Hopefully he can fill in on this. the way that the painter did the job with the repaint it should be slick as glass.

shit is cleannnn!!!

Yeah that's the one, after a closer look on rest of the shots it seems you're right on the filter. And especially with that extra step painting procedure one would expect glass like finish what's expected for every vip-like build.

I can dig it, nice turn out playa

Thanks, not sure on curing time before buffing. but I waxed it like 2 weeks ago and got those irritating swirl marks out. I wish I could go lower, but the roads here are crap. Also, no orange peel was used when the car was in the shop. The wheel pix is pretty much cam tricks or whatever u wanna call it to focus on the wheel...

cam filters..i guess. hahaha, i freaked out a bit and went to my car just to make sure it wasnt like that. other than that though, my painter says to take it in before any big shows so he could do touch ups. i do have scraps on the bottom of the bumper already and some tiny rock chips, usual stuff thatll always happen.

nonsense. cars are blocked to perfection during primer/surfacer, not base/clear. my money is on respray because of issues/imperfections the first go round. 

[QUOTE=Lextacy671;454855]Also, no orange peel was used when the car was in the shop.[/QUOTE]

:smiley-rofl:


orange peel refers to texture of the clear coat, similar looking to an orange peel.

LOLOL

fresh to death

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! i honestly thought he was referring to that spot putty thing that looks orange. noob....thanks for clarifying though.

...Just realized I forgot to update this thread. Anyway, as some of us know, Ty from Liberty VIP got something up his sleeve again. He recently had his New Scara's relipped, so I ended up buying his old lips. I haven't done the swap yet..no time to check the shop out here. At the time of my build, I wanted to go with just a flush look, but I couldn't pass up on the deal that Ty offered. I'll post pics later when the wheels get relipped. 

[IMG]http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a156/Type_RICEBURNER/relip.jpg[/IMG]

FYI : make sure to bang in the inner walls before you install the rear airrex struts.. just for more cleareance where the bags inflats.. got a couple guys with the 2gs rubbing on it...

Thanks for reminding me, Tom. I remember you mentioned it before. 

[QUOTE=drae86toreno;488879]love this car![/QUOTE]

hahaha..this guy. your car's just as sick!

Yes, getting even better. How much lift should the AirRex's give, the rear bags look a tad short...?

Very nice.

good build shits flawless  now with bags damn cant wait to it done and layed out....been seeing a GS  every morning headed to AAFB is this the same one???

AirRex and AccuAir Elevel all done. Man, this thing is amazing...feels like im still on coilovers and the elevel..im speechless. can't ask for a better system so far. pic is from my instagram "Lextasy671" and taken by a buddy RJ, who was around the area.

superb!

btw, got pics of the height sensors in place? not many folks post the placement of them, which is why most people end up breaking them. just curious for future referencing.

some unedited pics from a mini shoot.

Looks very nice bro...

Sick AF! I want my trunk to be something like that when I redo my air. Sooo cleeeean

Very nice! Always loved JP'd GSs. Would've loved to see it finished in its original color though...

this thing is phat! what else are you gonna do anymore plans? :D

Classic and timeless look...well done!

When I seen this in the calendar this was a motivation to me. This is hands down the best looking 2GS I've ever seen! Thanks for the inspiration man!! You car is simply amazing.

bro quit killing these dudes with that JP so fresh so clean GS man..shoot anyone that hates on this ride

whattap fellas! thanks again for the comments. there are a lot better GSs than mine that had also pushed me to do this build. my GS is on hold for the moment. i still have plans to finish off the car..grill..minor interior work, futuras for sure..change out the taillights to the JP skinny strip. i recently picked up this bad boy last month, so this is my new project...been price sourcing parts for it and hopefully will start the build late this year to early next year. 


she's a 2005, picked her up with a lil over 32000 miles on it. man this thing is a beast...so stoked to build this sucker already. i even thought of parting out the GS to fund the build faster. hahahaha...
