car looks pretty clean and straight man but need to upload some more pics.

[mat]

after the mechanic had his way with it doing the pre purchase inspection

 

at home in the half completed carport, now i have a reason to finish it

 

 

close up of the wheels. from what i have googled they are quiet rare (16x7.5 wide) dont mind the cow poo lol

 

[mat]

lol ive been sitting here for the last hour typing it all up and adding pictures and went to post it and lost it all as it said i couldn't edit the first post

[mat]

my old wheels, they will probably go on at some stage as they have brand new tyres (17x7 wide)

 

 

I ended up installing my old head unit as the one in there was not working correctly and it was just sitting in there not screwed to anything except the plastic holder thing

before

 

after (the plastic holder wasnt screwed on in this pic so it looks a little off)

[mat]

peices that need to be fixed/replaced

 

plastic roof trim

 

power window control

 

glove box

[mat]

current mods

evo 1? front bumper replica

evo 3? intercooler

 

In the 3 days ive owned it

replaced head unit and tidied it up a bit

bled clutch

 

future plans

replace broken plastic peices

install central locking kit from old car

Congrats on purchase. Looks like a goodun

[mat]

yeah its in good condition, shame the mechanic broke the front bar, hes supposedly going to pay to fix it fingers crossed

Nice work mate, all the small things add up.

[jack be nimble]

Looks good without the front lip

[mat]

thanks guys, i plan on keeping this car forever so i want to look after and keep it in good condition

 

forgive me for not taking pictures as i go, i get something in my head that i need to do and thats it, no time to take a photo lol 

im trying to take more photos, so ill see how i go

 

mat

[ENGINR]

I hear you there mate, that's why I hardly have any photos from the early days of working on my car, there was no time to stop and take pics, then upload them on the computer.  It's much easier now with a smartphone, just snap and upload when you stop for a coffee!

[mat]

yeah i know what you mean. due to the way i am though i don't have a phone ( adult adhd-inattentive and social anxiety) im working my way through it though. The fact that i am on here making posts is a miracle

 

engine shot:

 

as far as i know its all standard, it did have a pod filter at some stage but the previous owner put the airbox back in as he was getting hassled by the police, there useto be an alarm or something on the firewall, not sure what it was.

 

i plan on sandblasting all the rusty peices and painting them

put in missing screws on spark plug cover

[mat]

[pinups]

[mat]
