Custom Headlights and Widebody Kit: Salvaged BRZ Transformation

In this thrilling episode of B is for Build, the team dives headfirst into their salvaged 2023 BRZ project, aiming to resurrect it from the dead. With a widebody kit already in place and crash repairs complete, the focus shifts to the creation of custom headlights. A decision is made to fiberglass directly over the headlight lens for a more precise copy, showcasing their dedication to perfection in every detail. The meticulous process involves sanding, protecting the headlights, and strategically laying up layers of fiberglass with precision and care.

As the team navigates the challenges posed by low temperatures, they ingeniously employ an infrared heater to ensure the fiberglass sets properly. The following day brings relief as they find the fiberglass dried successfully, a testament to their expertise and problem-solving skills. Meanwhile, a side project involving a faulty seat belt in an FJ Cruiser provides an unexpected detour, offering viewers a glimpse into the inner workings of the mechanism and a clever DIY fix involving lubrication.

Returning to the BRZ project, the team refines the fit of the fiberglass cover around the headlight, ensuring a snug three-finger gap for optimal aesthetics. Through meticulous trimming and realignment, they prepare the cover for secure attachment before diving back into the intricate world of fiberglassing and structural reinforcement. The episode encapsulates the team's unwavering commitment to craftsmanship and innovation, setting the stage for an exciting transformation of the salvaged BRZ into a true automotive masterpiece.
