Hello I’m Nikita and this is my BRZ! I bought this 2017 BRZ with a stock body from a junk yard - the car was totally wrecked with no modifications. It was a total loss a large amount of exterior damage. The main impact was the driver side, rear quarter panel, rocker panel and door was crushed like a tin can and front suspension was blown out. (There was damage all over but main impact was driver ) I had a binder full of every mod I wanted on it including the body kit and I started looking for parts all over freaking town . Went junkyard shopping for weeks random ass craigslist people but eventually got all my parts. I was actually picking up some airbags and saw this guy had a cut-in-half salvaged BRZ in his backyard and I actually asked him if I could cut out the rear quarter panel because I needed to replace mine and so that’s where I got a “less” damaged rear quarter panel, for hella cheap. I cut out the rear quarter panel and rocker panel on my car my buddy Elvis and I pinch welded the new rocker panel and rear quarter panel onto the main body, I soldered the wiring for the airbags on the new rear quarter panel, replaced the door, replaced front bumper, replaced suspension, replaced airbags, replaced all four wheels ....the fatass list goes on. With the car being salvaged I came across a lot of inspections and hurdles to jump. Took about four attempts but I finally got it registered and plated. Once the welding was done, the next step was the body work. Got out the bondo & sand paper for the rear quarter panel and rocker panel. Worked the surfaces to be seamless with the original body. Literally weeks staying up until 3 am until the surface read perfect on my hands. I also got a Banged up/ dented door from the junkyard and just did all the bondo work to resurface it. After all the body work was perfect I then Got my pandem rocket bunny V3 kit from Japan. I got my KW x Greddy coil overs, my 305 Forged 2- piece wheels on some Toyo’s, exhaust system, and lots of gutting and grinding with the wide body kit. Now she’s sitting pretty, Ive had an amazing time with the restoration process; and hopefully a super charger coming soon.

I’m a young woman in the architectural and automotive fabricating industry eager to do custom body work and fabricate custom master pieces! I’ve worked with epoxy resin technology for automotive and architectural projects amongst varies of other materials ( metals, bronze, titanium, fiber glass, carbon fiber, complex compound glass, etc...)! The Brz is my daily but for my occupation I’m currently working on an one off custom race car with full carbon hand crafted body, hydraulic features and endless modifications! I admire getting down and dirty in the shop; and I’m so excited for my future in the fabrication industry!
