Even though this is going to be a slow ass build, I think I deserve my own topic (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
The day I brought it home: (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/20160906_195217_zpseck0v49n.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/20160906_195202_zpsjwf7zafi.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/Naamloos-2_zpscsabnfur.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/14203152_10208092297769436_7226532420298336775_n_zpse30vl0pe.jpg) As you can see, the car is pretty OK but needs some TLC here and there. I took out the ugly ass speaker box between the seats (barely visible on the following pic) and removed the sun visors: (IMG:https://scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/14726262_221432101595578_5581125656860688384_n.jpg) (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/blankingplates_zps10keyzuk.jpg) And since this week, I have a lip installed! (IMG:https://scontent-amt2-1.cdninstagram.com/t51.2885-15/e35/15035600_114922445656109_1124013205018902528_n.jpg) It's a cheap and s**tty fibreglass lip. In the future I'm going to upgrade to a PU one. I promised myself never to use zipties... But I don't see any other way to attach the lip. This will have to do for now. Other than that.. These arrived in the mail today: (IMG:http://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/S1070/20161110_201253_zpsjogjk224.jpg) These will replace the ugly orange blinkers that are on the car now. Future plans: -Slowly freshen up the engine, replacing everything I can do myself. -Lower the car a bit but not too much, kinda "functional" stance. -New wheels (15x7). Currently on 16x? and they're in rough shape. Smaller wheels also fit the car better imo. I'm thinking Rota/JR Wheels, or something else that's relatively cheap but decent. -As said, going to replace the front lip for PU ones, and also getting side skirts and a rear lip. Also maybe a ducktail/low spoiler. -Replace the complete exhaust system. -Either get the seats fixed or replace them for second hand ones that are in good shape. -Replace the steering wheel and shift knob. -Get rid of the wooden trim (it's peeling off and it's not OEM). -Replace the orange reflectors for white (front) and red (rear) or all white. -Delete the antenna including the base. So yeah.. That's it for now. Thanks for reading (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif) This post has been edited by Daniel.: Nov 10 2016, 07:53 PM |

Those fenders look pulled to me. I'm not giving you a hard time, I just want to make sure you don't have unrealistic expectations (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)
