Default My very own build.... this EK may take a while.

....actually a EJ6

Yes.... this is how i got it. I traded a 86 for it. Only mods are ksport coilovers and ebay exhaust. I'm no big baller and I'm not looking to build a show car, so ill go the more cost effective route possible.

Wish list and things to do in the next couple of years.....

H2B swap
c/f hood
wire tuck
full black interior
fix roof
fix headliner
wheels/tires
more suspension upgrades
seats
detachable steering wheel
....and im sure there is more.




11/16/2010

Traded cars.




11/18/2010





BTW....
Certifit fenders = good
Certifit headlights = good
Certifit bumper = ok
Certifit grille = not so good
Certifit hood = very poor

Ill be getting a c/f hood in the future.

Yup..... Maaco Supreme paint job.
BTW.... I also had the antenna and rear emblem holes shaved.

You could buy a coffee or two with the change from under that back seat.

Looking good so far.

Didn't come out perfect, but i did learn a lot. Ill probably end up redoing it if i cant get the minor glue bleed through off.

I need to get some clips for the rockers and body side moldings..... and they forgot to paint the spoiler and grille. other then that, I'm very happy with how my maaco paint job came out. But its late, and I've got to work tomorrow.
