Ash's NZ DA8 Xsi Build
Sup guy's
Has been awhile since ive been on here. I attempted a da8 build a few years back when i first signed up, and its fair to say it was a fail haha but did get better along the way.
Now that i've got some experience behind me I defiantly want too get a "build" done. And the way its happened, Im back with a DA8
This is going to be a budget build, with the focus of being clean, different, fun and not buying in to the big brand names for "jdm" points

Killometers: 325,xxxkms
Paint: primer
Interior: Mix of blue and black interior
missing alot of peices
Engine:
90 B16a
b16a2 Intake manifold
Random intake pipe
no name pod filter
4 to 2 to 1 extractors

todays little job was to refit the bumber. it was missing the white bracket bit, and by chance i still had one!! so pretty lucky 
While it was off, gave it a little tidy up. Cut out A/C loom and put harness back in OEM spot and mounted relays etc. Resprayed black with paint i grabbed from work. took off lights and resprayed the radiator support as it was purple. and gave the radiator top tank a quick spray.
reassembled then went for a cruise
I somehow managed to miss getting a picture of it all paited etc....do'h
