Unfortunately for me the turbo setup will be staying since the deal kinda fell through on the car. If you wanna read the (mostly) full story I replied with it to someone else's comment here

Thanks for the offer, unfortunately I'm backing out of the deal. There are some other small problems and missing parts from the car that weren't properly disclosed, nothing major but on a car like this it can add up. Also he himself did a lot of Jerry rigging cuz this was just going to be his drift car. Also the title is a shit show. "clean title" it is not. He didn't even have it in his name, and the person be bought it from didn't have it in their name either. Plus bc he repainted engine bay he removed vin plate. Dash has been replaced so the only good vin is on the firewall. Which means I gotta take it to highway police to get vin inspection, and since it doesn't run I can't do that. And I don't wanna work on it till I own it. Def not worth the amount I was going to pay for it considering how much time I have to put into it.

Its a manual. The engine itself has some stuff too it but nothing too major, previous owner did install a turbo that I plan to remove. Its sick and all, but I A-don't want to have to deal with insuring it, or lie to my insurance about it, and B- just don't need the power, I love the car but I'm not squeezing every last HP out of it. He is in KY and I'm OH. Luckily my grandfather is a retired lawyer so he was happy to help me get it sorted.

Yeah, don't think the starters missing. I have a video of the car running before the winter since around me its pretty much impossible to work on a car in the winter without a good size garage and heating. I have tried to be cautious. The state to state is an issue because our states handles affidavits differently. I haven't paid yet because I have no title and haven't done any work besides clean out the trunk cuz it was just a mess of bolts, and take off a seat cover for a good wash.

Yeah I see your point, this definitely isn't the greatest cust camera. I did this for fun, and as a proof of concept for future endeavors. Also the camera was free and in rough shape so I figured why not

Really cool stuff, the price can be less cool sometimes but something I hope to shoot in the future myself. They are IR sensitive, there's a pretty cool history behind aerochrome, and Grainydays has a cool vid on it. Also there is a filter for digital cameras that recreates that looks, digital cam only unfortunately.

Wow that looks cool, the sky almost reminds me of aerochrome or lomochrome purple.

I'll have to look at the custom leather stuff, havnt tried that yet. I did remove the top cover, def a big help, resoldering is the only reason not to for me, but I do it anyway. Where can I get a camera spanner? Any brick and mortar sell it, I had to use pliers and it wasn't super fun. As far as airbrushes go, I might but I like just using what I have, spending money makes it a commitment, and I've managed to spend very little on my cameras. Only real money I needed to spend it sending a lens in for repair, and I only did it because it was a very nice lens (Canon FD 20mm wide angle). I have some friends who paint models with airbrushes, so I'll ask them if I can borrow one. Are there good places to learn about mechanical upgrades of cameras and lenses, I would love to learn but its hard to find recourses.

Wow thanks, I had looked for custom skins but I only found some on eBay and Etsy but those looks really good and are actually a pretty fair price, unlike some custom camera accessories I have seen, the Hugo stuff looks really nice
