Hey guys, im unsure where i did my last build post but i know it was in the wrong section, so id thought id start again since my car is starting to be put together again.

Before i start, i would like to re-affirm that YES it is a kit car, i wished it was just an ordinary na6 body but i inherited the car as a gift and i cant change the body on it as all the panels have been customised. So im just working with what ive got.

Currently the car has the following parts installed or to be put in. Its currently being painted Ford Focus electric orange.

more engine work will commence after i come back from Japan and get myself ITB's

Thanks goes to HJT (hayden) MRPHAM and HKS_kansei for helping me with parts, and nitrodann for your time and insight to the motor (also Mrpham)

What it looked like when i first built it in 2006






The wrecked mx5 i got my new motor from and interior ( we are building this car for drifting soon)



Engine is out









What a mess







Ready to paint



Thirsty

A few things to go in










Im unsure if i want to put this in or not..

I'll have the tomb stone if you don't want it

and i the carpet console behind it

I love those style tomb stone/carpet center console if only I could afford the proper tomb stone

Which Bride seats are they?

The centre console is very cool...to cool for a track car?

I got your facebook message and ill reply via that avenue shortly!

The car is coming together nicely, the wheels suit your car so much more than mine. (I still love them)

Keep it updated when you get back, I want to see the car when the paints finished!

I personally got the the carbon tombstone from Japan on yahoo auctions, but didnt realise how yellow it turned out. Perhaps ill put it in and see what it looks like when i get my car back haha seems to be you guys like it.


Cant recall the exact brides i got, but its the bride low maxx, i got the seat rails seperately.

Car is finally heading into the paint shop in 3 hours after a 7 month wait.

Hopefully the parts will all be in by Sunday!

How do you access the engine bay with that front?

Does the entire front section (including bumper) lift up, or does it come off altogether?

Usually they just lift off.

I'll buy that tombstone and carpet off you

The whole front, bumper bonnet lights etc come around the other way and lift forwards, if that makes sense haha

Car is painted.. looks hot!
