My GFs Cheap Eunos MK1

Postby Gromet89 » Wed Apr 08, 2015 9:17 pm

So We bought this car from Gympie In February as my girlfriend was having nothing but issues with her old car and she still wanted something sporty, I knew B6s and BPs were good and reliable because I could never break my TX3s I had, so This was the only auto I could find... Here are some pics from when we got it.

First thing we did was buy new springs and shocks to fix the ride height. I swapped her my newly restored ENKEI LM8s and I got her Axis OGs...

I got A tone of parts for it The other week. sold most of the parts but kept a hard top and a genuine Roadster strut brace.
so now I'm sanding it all down and painting it in fresh white as original spec with the hard top.

This afternoon I pulled the seat out to clean all the carpets and redye the rear shelf carpet. As I was cleaning it all out I found an old Japanese film which I'm getting developed and also discovered it has speakers in the seats so I wired them in and tidied all the speaker wires... nothing stupid. Just a nice clean MK1

No mucking around here. Nice work! I'm fascinated by the Japanese roll of film discovery! Let us know what photos develop...

I wish I could do a paint job like that.
That licence plate is unreadable.
