It's been a while since I've posted about my build... it is still an ongoing project...

I've been extremely busy this past year and will only get busier as I transition to a new job. I have a lot of training coming up.

I'm also moving to a bigger house... I will have a work shop built... can't wait for that!

I'll get to work on my build some this weekend... if I progress enough I'll post photos.

I can't wait to be done but the reality of the situation is that time will not permit that... I'm taking the LONG approach.

My build has a new home!

It's been a while since I posted... Still very busy and haven't touch my build in a couple months. However, I finally got my shop! So much room to work... I'm going to love it!

I still need to install doors now and insulation later. I'm also going to epoxy the floor, install electrical, and do some other detail and convenience things... I'm just happy it is so close!

Bump.

[zeal86]

So I'm almost done with some training I had to go through...more to come but covid has put that on hold.

I'm working hard as hell to finish up landscaping my house. Shop and car have been 2nd and 3rd on my list of priorities but I'm getting closer to tackling the shop.

I didn't give up on my build... just know that. I'm just short on time these days.

Missing this build

[zeal86]

It's been a while...way too long actually!

So life took over...kids in general plus kid's practices, games, coaching, training for new job(s), lack of motivation, etc...led me to stray from my hobby.

But now I'm back! Not only am I back, I have a second FR-S I'm building...lol. The second FR-S has really boosted my motivation to build.

Currently cleaning the engine bay of the second FR-S...lots of polishing going on...painting sections of engine happening soon. Pics coming soon.
