Default My jap ef-6 glassroof resto :)

Hey guys thought i'd throw up an intro/project.
Names mark, from the republic of ireland.
I recently bought a crx glassroof after my ek4 sir2 was stolen

Good news is i got my b16a back.

Here's a few pics of my new project which will house my 16a.
But first some pics of my old ek4:

Was it already taken apart like that when you bought it?

I'm curious as to what it has for options being an EF6? I see the glassroof of course, and power steering in the first picture with the vin tag. Power windows or manual windows?

Good luck with your project, once you get past that rust it should start looking pretty good!

Ok, you're right I see the window switch now.

Pretty sure that's a UKDM cluster, it has the orange needles and it's in both mph and km/h. The rust doesn't surprise me since it's in Ireland, cars rust like crazy in that part of Europe.

I just noticed the hood too, that's an 88-89 isn't it? I thought it seemed weird to see a red EF6, I've never seen any 90-91 JDM models in this shade of red.

Electric windows ac p/steering.
I actually have a complete ee-8 vt from the uk.
The dash panel rust is from a cracked window which also leaked down the bonnet release onto the floor.
Its actually got 228000 kilometres.
The cluster in the photo is i-vt cluster.

Plans are,
mr-5's
meister-r coilys
tahitian green paint.

etc etc
