John's JZX90 Cresta

So after being asked by a couple of people to put up a build thread for my car, here it is
Bought it as a standard Tourer S with the intention of using it as a daily and nothing more while I built my 180sx. When it came time to spend some real money on the 180sx, I lost all interest with the project which sucked as it was shaping up to be a cool car, but at the same time I'd fallen for the JZX loved driving the thing even though it was totally standard open diff auto it was hilarious, it had to stay....
Heres a pic as she was when I got her (Sorry for the terrible shot only one I could find)
Heres a pic of the 180sx
So then I decided that now I was going to keep this car that it would need to be bought up to a level I was happy with. First thing I did was put my AVS Model 5s on it (and make them all Silver too), at this time I also put in some coilovers HSDs at the moment but looking to change them at some stage this year
Next I picked up a couple of different kits, one is a Lip Kit I bought off Yahoo the other is a Factory JZX100 Mark II Lip kit. So I tried both on to see which I preferred
Definitely going to run with the stock kit for now as at the height I want plastic will be the smarter option.
So that was it for quiet a while until I decided it was time to get this thing a little closer to finished, so this happened...
So thats it as it sits right now, all the work is being done by Adam (Keg) at DKM Fabrication quality of his work is superb!! Hopefully will be getting the car back this week and will update again as I can

. Is it staying auto or are you doing a manual conversion as well?
