All Bite FFR Coupe Build Log

I received the donor palet last week. I've spent a lot of the last week going over all the donor parts, organizing them, and cleaning them.

Probably invested 10 hrs or so.

I decided to go ahead and paint the Aluminum in the engine compartment. It's going to be the same color as the stripe on the car - a metallic blue.

The blue is Honda 'Suzuka Blue' PPG # HON B513M, I'm now committed to that.

The silver is going to be Grigio Titanio Met, a Ferrari color PPG # FER-3238.

It took me around four hours to sand down the aluminum, then do a three step paint job. Firstly a self etching aluminum primer, then the color and gloss. It's done and mocked up now, I think it looks great.

I'm waiting for the donor palet to be delivered, so very little progress has been made.

I have ran half (the back half) of the rear brake line. Don't want to complete until I have the master cylander so I can accurately mock up where they'll terminate.

I've also installed the upper and lower control arms, as well as shocks for the front suspension. Now I'm awaiting the spindles (from the donor).

I've also picked my colors, and bought some paint to color aluminum with. The finished car will be silver with metallic blue stripes. I'll post the exact colors when I get home.
