************UPDATES ON PAGE FIVE***********


RIP
got t-boned last night

from this


to this....more pics on page four.....bye bye eg




will post pics of the damage later


1st off for those of you who always wonder wtf a tenedor is, here you go



spanish for fork....you know, fork sports instead of spoon, in spanish.....nevermind

on to my beloved eh hatch....

I traded this, a 92 harvard blue hatch




for this, a 93 milano pink/red hatch

this is how I got her....






The car was already swapped, so I figured it was a good deal but after a week of driving it, it died....
anyhow to make a long story short I ended up getting a new bottom end to replace the old locked one, and went ahead and replaced all the internals while it was apart.

this is what it ended up looking like....



I know not too clean, but we did this ASAP as this thing was to be my daily vehicle, and I had not forseen a complete engine rebuild in my near future, which btw left me broke and in debt....

next thing I did was slap on my beloved KONIG next ....

not up to h-t's standards but I love em


camber was terrible and was chewing up my falkens so ...


and ran into these, and decided to get em, thanks david!!





was very happy because I wanted to do the low offset look, but damn low offset not ZERO offset,

obviously I ended up getting a camber kit and going back to this



after a while....I kept the car looking like this and eventually got sick of it

so I decided to get a new set of wheels


LOL just playing around with some 18"

but ended up with these



the ride quality improved drastically...I had also by then gotten and si/ex lip and oem fogs, and picked up some del sol rear disks and mud flaps,.



My exhaust had always been none existant so I decided to get a hybrid exhaust made, spoom type r replica headers (came with the swap), 2.5 inch tubing with a center mounted high flow silencer straight tube to the back on a custom Camaro tip ftw LOL....sounds good....not loud as fuc or nothing just tame



some people think its a buddyclub or something LOL, nope camaro tip mang^^^

photoshoot with jeff...



a bit of editing I did just ******* around...



my friend benji and I always talked about doing some bodywork to my car so.....
I began to strip her




Bodywork began on August 25th













MILANO PINK



Couple of drinks in between!!



gotta cover up the wheels



Ben's girl !!







second week is here and more work is being done....
some more stripping ....









Benji up front doing his thing



the door was the worst part of the car, don't know how the previous owner did it but we sure caught hell getting it off and straight





the fender wasn't too nice either



this is how we left her before nopi





and this is what it looks like now....







I have another set of sideskirts and an extra lip....which means the ones on the car
will get sprayed in a dark red metallic hue, you know that way I can switch it up a bit once in a while!

more improvements to come!!
thanks for looking!!

comments welcome, and this thread will be updated when I get a chance
or as much as the wallet allows

why cut out the center grill? Love it on the koseis. I think that exhaust would look a TON better if you got a longer tip, 12" or so and straight cut instead of that angle cut. Then it would be dope imo

 

saving a hatch

 

nice. I thought it was going to turn for the worst for a second there.

Decided to cut the grill because of the Madonna gap it had.....always bothered me...(besides, there might be an fmic in the near future)
thanks I liked the koseis as soon as I laid eyes on them,...had to get them...what do you think about high poilished koseis??
and yeah I'm planning to redo the axle back half of the exhaust....I'll keep you posted

its not an issue I have another black one along with another set of black sideskirts
as the ones on the car will get color matched, so I will be able to switch it up once in a while

edit: also will be painting foglight covers and door handles along with the top side of the duckbill, underside will remain flat black....already have standard color fog covers

 

I love the lip red

in for more pics of paint

 

did you forget to paint it?

you ruined the front bumper, should've kept it how it was with oem fogs and no cutout for center.

 

Damn nice!!!!

freddy, its all in the works, hence build in the title....as I stated before the grill had a modonna gap in it (someone had previously cut it), I did not like it, oem fogs I still have and plan to reinstall once its painted, and I am strongly considering boost, since it is a ls bottom end. AND most importantly I do like how it looks, and once the fmic resides in there it will look even better

oh ok, if you get an FMIC, i understand, without, it just looks like a really empty space. i thought you were going to get it painted right after body work, body looks good now though.

when do you plan on painting it, and what color do you think you'll go with?

 

it's coming along nice and good luck with it

 

I know why it took so long at Benjy's, that damn Don Q I see in the background. Loving that your showing it some Spoon love finally.
