More photos from 4K Automotive Solutions.

The wrap has two layers. There is a white base layer. Over that layer there is a transparent layer that provides the metallic purple pearl.

After the body work was completed, the interior painted, and the exterior primed the car was picked up by P&L Motorsports for work to continue. They were concerned that with the car only being primed and not painted the primer would be highly susceptible to damage while they finished the car and therefore asked us to have the car painted or wrapped before continuing the work.

Computer Cases and Small Air Compressors

More for my series on packing Cagalli Yula (2014 Subaru BRZ).

As usual, the Subaru BRZ continues to be the car we need for 99%+ of what we do. 

This time we had: sporting goods (including cross-country skis and snowboarding boots), other donation items, a Corsair 7000D Airflow case (big), as well as the rest of the components to build my spouse's new PC.

Fall 2021 Autocross Events

Thus far I have not posted much from out autocross exploits. Mainly, it usually is not all that exciting. But, when we went to the Boston BMW SCCA Autocross Novice School I had a big spin.

One of our fellow participants captured it and sent it to us and said I could share!

Car was okay as far as we can tell so far. We drove it the rest of the day, did our timed laps, and seemed to have no issues.

Cagalli Yula, Gilly's Auto, Krown Rust Proofing

Fourth year taking Cagalli Yula (2014 Subaru BRZ Limited) to Gilly's Auto now in Lebanon, NH for her annual Krown treatment. As usual had a nice conversation with Josh and Heather while the car was being sprayed.

As usual I used this time to examine the underside of the vehicle.

Nausicaa - Project Update - Images from A&L Auto Body (11th Set)

Most likely final update from A&L Auto Body.

The car is finished on their end and we are now arranging for it to be picked up and work to continue with P&L Motorsports. 

Unfortunately the images this time are nowhere near as high quality as the ones Chuck previously provided. Apologies for them being on the smaller and lower res side.

Glass is back in.

Update from A&L Auto Body.

The tires look super chunky without the rest of the body panels on.

More or less assembled.

Update from A&L Auto Body.

Yesterday Chuck texted me to ask what color the doors and trunk needed to be painted.

An important question was whether or not we would have any sort of door cards.

Small update from A&L Auto Body.

The cage is painted! 

Granted the interior is wrapped right now, but I think the white and purple contrast will come out really well.
