shorty Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 another small update, stripped the rear out properly now so that i can start finishing off the interior, two rear quater panels left and its all stripped sorted through the ton of crap in the car too so its no longer a working shed its now just a project build. carpets have all been binned too. Realy not that much to do now, i WILL be at the shows this year in this car!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shorty Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 (edited) Well, as some of you know i had been getting diss hartened with the build. happens to alot of us when you spend over a year looking at your car making no progress and knowing what cash you have sunk in and your getting nothing out. i picked up a bit over the last week as i got a few bits done. But i tell ya what is nothing better to pick ya up than driving a starlet and deebo's lil ep80 was just the ticket!! So had a bit more enthusiasm just needed to resolve a few issues...............enter the swiss army grant!!! Hes a legend he turned up and we wipped the bumper back off and he got straight to it! Made me some fmic lower brackets and welded em to the car then cracked on with my inlet, hacked the flange off and welded the new one for my billet tb on while he was welding I've cleaned up my oem recaro passenger seat from the v a bolted it to my ep85 low position rail. Also got all the cold side fmic pipes bolted on so we can start on the front exit exhuast. realy not far away guys!!! 4fookinWD turbo crazy madness to come soon!!!! Whoop whoop.Grant grineding the brackets for the fmic inlet flange removed new flange welded on and billet tb sat in place. Edited January 6, 2013 by shorty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
