Socks Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Its not often I start a new project thread... But on the 26th March 2014 I collected this.... Got it from a bloke called Jason, who purchased it from up North.... He had to sell, due to his misses becoming pregnant.... Its a 1996 in a P Reg. 94000km Im the 3rd UK Owner The Engine & Running Gear is MINT The Engine Bay is MINT The Interior is Really Really Clean If anything the bodywork lets the poor thing down! Someone has not taken care of it very well at all, its been neglected really! I will be restoring it back to its former glory all being well! First issues First... It has TRD Front Springs and Stock Rear Springs (hotrod anyone?) An NA, Manual Passenger Wing Mirror and Electric Folding Drivers Wing Mirror Quite a major Dent in the drivers side Wing Ill update in due course, but progress will be slow for the time being as I really do not know what im doing with it yet! But thought id best keep you all informed! Ive tested it out though, it drives chuffing beautifully. Engine is Pearler! Drivetrain is perfect and smooth! I tested it out on a wet grass field and the traction that these thing have got is chuffing unreal! That's all for now, it will be restored to former glory! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Socks Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nice project that Matt! be nice to see it when its done!! how you going to drive 2 to the shows tho lol!! All in good time Rob! I don't know mate haha! Swap over all your bits and be done with it. lol, no chance. I couldn't rip my pride and joy to pieces! That is the tiniest farb I think iv ever seen. I thought it was a cable haha Deffo keep it uk spec and sleep it! And weld the viscous coupling and rear diff up for lolz lol, thjats the exact same thing I said when I saw it! But due to prop, cant see turbo or even UK ones fitting! lol! So....... I had a complete 98 spec interior in my room sat there gathering dust, so thought it would be cool to put this into the EP95! To make the interior a bit darker/modern... I had a feeling the front seat mounting points were different though, and when I tried to place the seats in it was evident that the rear corner bolt that bolts to the tunnel is very different. So a cunning plan was put together. I stripped the seats down (took me 2 hours in total I might add), swapped over the back and the base from the glanza seats into the skeletons of the EP95 seats. Allowing them to work! Partially stripped! Went in with eyes wide open, didn't know how similar they would be! Completely Bare... Then rebuilt up as Glanza Seats! So when the seats were out, I quickly noticed another difference in the 4wd. The handbrake surround plastic is not even remotely similar! Continued to strip the rest of the interior out! Partial shot with the light plastics still in place. Note the huge rear shock covers, another interior difference over a EP91! Then when it was bare bones, I went at it with the hoover! So much rubbish was hovered up! On a plus note tho I found even more Japanese money to add to my collection! The carpet came up absolutely MINT CONDISH! So then my Glanza hybrid seats went in! The Darker Rear Plastics went in! Then I ran out of time to go to a lil UKSO Staff Meeting/Dominos Pizza Evening! More to come! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
