Well thought I'd post this up didnt get much love in the intro thread.

CM5A 93T CE Coupe

This is how I bought it off the truck

[nice as]

Anyway thing needed a hell alot of work. So stripped inside and cleaned it all out got new carpet.
Then rebuilt the engine with new rings bearings etc as the motor had a knock in it and paint the head flat black and degreased it.

Plan was to make it a sleeper so painted the Intercooler black and still looking for a new front bar to hide it.
Long story short I matte black the roof and bonnet then shortly after that decide to paint the whole thing.







Then deciding to paint the whole thing to much work!!

So the car is now flat blue and engine bay is gloss black still chasing up a standard bonnet.

Its a bit of a pig as it was my first time painting lots of streaking and imperfections but hopefully soon have some coin to get spray painter to finish properly..






The colour is hard to get with my camera as in the shade its more a green colour but in full sun pretty bright at the moment as only has 1-2 coats on it..

All this has happen over last 4-5 months and I'm yet to modplate it and get RWC to drive it . Have to find standard bov and plumb it back and get some gsr brakes.


It not a power house like most I have read here but should be fun.

Oherwise top marks for the rest, you need a stock bar to give it the sleeper look.

Yer thats the good thing about my camera its not good enough to show all the bad stuff up lol. Cant wait to get it on road seems all I've done since I got it is worked on it few times there I thought it was all too much.

Yer its cool I know most people hate non-factory lights I usually do too. I saw them on a mates lancer DVS45 and liked them ever since although when I bought these lights the car was intended to be Matte Black to match it so looks ricey on a bright colour.
