keep up the great work!

cheers mate

dropped her off at the body shop this morning, short drive down the back streets about 5min away, love that its so close.

have 1 issue if any one can help. replaced the driver door with one from a wrecker due to the fact that the original one was badly repaired. the issue is that when the window is lowered (its power) half way the central lock is activated. dont know weather if it is a crossed wire or a short or needs to be ground. any one come across this before?

so last week saw her getting dropped off at the body shop.


went down to check the progress today.
doors were removed and the insides were painted along with all the other parts that needed to come off...hood, trunk lid, rear gills by the rear doors, all the bolts and the hood hinge. tomorrow the door jams are getting painted.



first bit of rust was repaired with a piece from the old 'is'

thanks, for now stock interior from the 'is' parts car. factory sport seats and the rear which im not sure what they are. the original door cards are in mint condition, have a new center console well old newish, and a knock off steering wheel that i bought a couple of years ago, but i do have some thing cool to show, but will do that later. new black vinyl headliner and new black carpet are on order. also giving her power sunroof and rearvision mirror with map lights, have to run power to them first, but should be nice when shes done.

How come you chose an auto over the 5speed?

How come you chose an auto over the 5speed?

ha good question
this is going to be the daily driver. sitting in my house by the front door is another complete m20, a disassembled 885 head, 4:10lsd, and 5 speed tranny which at the moment is for the next build along with the rest of the parts for this build. but i think i might drop something a little bigger in the next one

[E30stan]

Nice project, lets see that paint!

first bought an auto because my wife doesnt drive stick and we needed to swap cars when i was off work and needed to drive her car with the baby seat when i had my son. but once this build is done i might switch it to manual when i decide what i am going to do with the next build
