Project S12/26: Aesthetics

As with all projects, there comes a time when it draws to a close. At the time of fulfillment, the feeling of accomplishment and confusion coincide. It may seem odd to someone that the feeling of confusion would accompany the culmination of such a large project. The issue with a project that spans so much time, is that with the amount of effort, constant thinking, and planning that it takes, it virtually becomes a part of the individual. They have lived and breathed it to the point that it becomes a part of their daily life. Without it, a void is left.

A project that has been so paramount in my life the past four years has been my 1987 Nissan. I have had two goals with it. One of which was to fulfill the particular image that was in my head while the other was partially glimpsed and has only been accomplished recently.

 Not surprising to those who know me nor those who knew of very particular image in mind, even with my swap finished and the S12 running exceptionally, there were still a few loose ends that were to be dealt with. A couple of those details came to light in the past several weeks: S12 RS-X grill and S12 Euro spec. headlamp guards.




Since I am both MKII and have a US spec. S12, some modifications had to be done to compensate for the parts being either MKI or Euro spec. But with some effort and tinkering, both were installed.

The grill was shipped from Japan as the headlamp guards from England.
