It’s surprising to me how many shops be doing some sloppy ass work not just with your experience but I’ve only found about 1 shop out of hundreds that actually do some professional work for what you pay. I’ve learn to just do it myself tbh but sometimes you have to go to someone for specialty work
after his last experience with a body shop I'm not surprised that he's trying to make sure it gets done properly. most genuine bodyshops understand the cause for concern especially if their customers have had bad experiences prior. I was the same when my evo was getting fixed took 12 months for a 2 month job and at the end of it they left cardboard in the engine bay, missing bolts for the bodykit, had overspray, missing grills and my wheels weren't torqued up and came loose on the way home lol
This is how you take a perfectly balanced car, amazing handling and completely ruin it for aesthetics. No point engine swapping, it'll drive like ass now thr geometry is ruined
I really hope this works out for you. And if they do a good job, well then they just got free advertisement. After what happened w/ the last guy, I'm sure there's going to be ppl looking for someone who does good bodywork. So, 🤞
You have to go with the 2gr v6. The sound profile will match the car better then the k series. And this is coming from someone with a k swapped spyder already
Not really my dads runs an upholstery shop and we take deposits for every job for all the materials and they get put on the schedule for a date we will have time for them to bring it in most shops don’t communicate with the clients and give them unrealistic dead lines because they don’t wanna lose the job instead being upfront and honest in our shop we have clients cars that won’t be started till next month but we tell the client before hand that we are booked and 9/10 of them are okay with it and understand
Paradox, this thing is a monstrosity. I’d honestly be embarrassed to bring this to a body shop or any mechanic. I love your content, but please take this Frankenstein behind a barn and put it out of its misery. Holy cow man!
I'm exited to see it done. I order my body kit from luxurycarpart I got a similar kit the lp super warrento .. I got my car at RCautoworks getting my k24a2 built and transmission at the moment . I love the wheels looks like u went to a 5 lugs conversion. Seen ur car with out the rear bumper I'm tempted to do rear bumper delete and throw a twin turbo rear mounted like u say with a thin brake likes like a lambo ..
i personally avoid shops that have junkyard cars laying around. every car in the shop has be in progress or on a lift. if they business looks professional and clean then I can trust theyll do clean work.
Lmao imagine what jay would have done with that kit. Better off he didn’t touch it. Sheeeeshh this homie seems confident and ready for p dox to gtfo so he can get to work hahaha
You should let then do it all man .. I know you are a DIY but letting the do all the body making it perfect in the long run would be cheap than having to go back and make it sooo much cleaner when you lay wraps .. this body shop looks motivated .. I can't wait to see the finished product
or it could be he just doesn't know how to act in camera and just smiles. ive met some of the nicest people that act like that in front of camera, then again some of them were indeed high and funny af lol
Get rid of it bro it’s a money pit .. just buy the new Supra and tune it for the weekend drives . If you like mid or rear engine just buy a new corvette under warranty or get the new nsx . I use to own a mr2 wide body and my friend had a Mr-s wide body the money we dumped on it was like 30k plus where I’m like this car is a money pit get rid of it .

You should get a gt3000 vr4 instead
This car is probably what pushed J over the edge 😂
😂

I’ve built and painted this exact kit.done right they look great.looking forward to seeing it done.
Did you manage to recover the roof scoop ? new body shop giving off the right vibe 👍🏽
No that scoop is gone
DO IT!
Cant even lie without the back bumper it looks clean
Hi Paradox! This shop looks legit. I can’t wait to see it completed. What size rims and tires you running?
i love chris from calicustoms! always takes care of me
That white jzx90 is not a chaser, it is a mark2. It is the same chassis just different body and trim.
"hey let me get this"
I’m excited to see this car
Mark!!!! 🙌🏼
Shout to the dsm
What are you going to do with the stock resr quarters?
Letz Goooo!!! 🍻
Wow your spider look great bro.
I trust the guy in dreads
I need some custom tail light
Kswap spyder
Can't you fix it yourself bro?? You almost lost it once.....
That is a JZX 90 mark 2 my guy not a chaser... as a mark 2 owner people calling it a chaser shits me to tears...
You should just let them do the work, telling them what to do makes. feels like they don't know what they're doing

Nothing wrong with stating clearly what you expect
This is what you call communicating, you say what you want done because clearly last guy didn’t know what he was doing 😂
Their feelings are more important than the money paid to do the job 😅
Lining and fastening all of that is a nightmare. If he can get it even decent he's a master.
This thing is going to turn out pretty nice 👌 it looks like some good progress already.
if you were to run no back bumper you would need a turbo on each side of the engine for something to look at with some big ollllll exhaust tips.
lol "your in the right place, with all these cars in shambles laying around" fuck me! I wouldn't leave my bike at that place to get sprayed. 💩💩
im a DIYER is a mechanic/ body mans worst nightmare!
Boosted k swap on this would be fire.
You're going to have to wrap it in red.
Wrap it British racing green when you’re done. Then get some bronze wheels .
Whew we're back on track, and not too long before I buy a really poor condition MR2 as my project vehicle too.
Ayy they Cambodian. They also have 2 restaurants S.E.A hut Elk grove and one recently open up in downtown I believe
It will hella dope if you put in a camry v6 engine. There's too much of k series swap
Gr Corolla swap for clout 😁
Kswap

K Swap turbo or, can you 1J them? I just think the way it looks, it deserves something that sounds good.
theres so many shops that try to get a deposit and those are always the wrong ones to go to!!!
Not really my dads runs an upholstery shop and we take deposits for every job for all the materials and they get put on the schedule for a date we will have time for them to bring it in most shops don’t communicate with the clients and give them unrealistic dead lines because they don’t wanna lose the job instead being upfront and honest in our shop we have clients cars that won’t be started till next month but we tell the client before hand that we are booked and 9/10 of them are okay with it and understand
It's crazy to see how much stuff is going in North Highlands now my dad lived there I haven't been back there for about 6 7 years
I really wish Toyota would bring back the MR2.
With the g16 out of the gr yaris and corolla would be perfect
916 Stand da Phuck up!👍😃
I’m sure the neighbors love all those POS in the driveway.
So this is gonna be a series🔥🔥🔥
I cant wait to see this thing finished🔥💪🏻
Jay quit after charging 3k for this 😅😂
You should do a 2j like that yellow Lambo out there
Martinez does good work, go see them
beeen waiting for this vid :)
Rear bumper delete to show off the wheels
Paradox, this thing is a monstrosity. I’d honestly be embarrassed to bring this to a body shop or any mechanic. I love your content, but please take this Frankenstein behind a barn and put it out of its misery. Holy cow man!
Hopefully they don't pull a Jay. But paying after it's done sounds reasonable to me

North Highlands!! Lived by the base for a bit. The hood but still a chill little spot. But this was 20 years ago. Not sure what it’s like now.
Paradox please get a gsx!
Lmao imagine what jay would have done with that kit. Better off he didn’t touch it. Sheeeeshh this homie seems confident and ready for p dox to gtfo so he can get to work hahaha
Leave the bumper off, go cyberpunk taillights and bottom mount turbo.
Hope you get another roof scoop thing would look sick with it on Martinez auto shop did you dirty and sold it or lost it 🤦♂️
I’m glad you went to sea auto works they do good ass work.
Hopefully these guys get you taken care of. It doesn't seem that far off at all, still lots of work but its damn close.
Persevere man! Following this one and appreciate you sharing. I would like to know more about your wheels and hubs when you have time. 👍
When I see cars like that bmw with that type of camber I picture the driver looking like sid from ice age
2gr > over k swap. Sounds way better and plenty of power without boost
D
Damn I can’t wait!
In interested
Bro you know your in the right place when u actually see finished cars goin out all day
The guy behind the camera sound like Darth Vader 😂😂😂
The kit is actually quite nice. Improves the w30 style alot
It be nice with no rear bumper and some tube framing.
some work Meister M1 on that mr2 spyder be nasty asf!
I used to deliver parts to this shop they do solid work a lot of really cool cars have come out of that shop
This is gonna be so sick I can't wait for the reveal
Bro better check up on his car weekly not yearly
This is what we are waiting for!!! Let’s goooooo!!!! 💯🤙🏼
It was a pleasure to meet you that day here for that like button
You should be straight with that Asian guy.
I fully support the cyberpunk tailight
Did you ever retrieve the roof scoop back my brother
Definitely a turbo k series swap....
I love the cyber punk idea bro
You should let then do it all man .. I know you are a DIY but letting the do all the body making it perfect in the long run would be cheap than having to go back and make it sooo much cleaner when you lay wraps .. this body shop looks motivated .. I can't wait to see the finished product
I hope all goes well with this shop!
Dang bro do a meet up in Hawaii
What is that kit on the mr2 ?
That kit is badass🤟🏼
MARRRRRRRRRK!!!!!
This guy dont even look sober and you trust him working on your car? 😂
Seems like a good dude to me. I’ll be there every Friday to check on the progress so we will see
He just smokes some weed. Doesn’t look all out like j did 🤣
He’s lucky to find someone to work on crap
Body shop guy looked super high. Keep an eye on them and I hope it turns out for the best.
or it could be he just doesn't know how to act in camera and just smiles. ive met some of the nicest people that act like that in front of camera, then again some of them were indeed high and funny af lol
Man those the best ones they faded so they take their time and got more ocd lol
@thai6670 having a camera put in your face can be really uncomfortable
Get rid of it bro it’s a money pit .. just buy the new Supra and tune it for the weekend drives . If you like mid or rear engine just buy a new corvette under warranty or get the new nsx . I use to own a mr2 wide body and my friend had a Mr-s wide body the money we dumped on it was like 30k plus where I’m like this car is a money pit get rid of it .
The patience will be all worth it duder, u know u'll love it and just knowin its done is success
Fingers crossed man… I’ve been itching to see this car finished
