So big update, photos aren’t great.
Recently I crashed the blue preface lift ek3, which had loads of rust etc. So I told myself a re-shell was in order. I ideally wanted a ek9 shell but the cost was too much for me. So I went for facelift ej9.
This is where the work all started, wanted it all done in one Saturday. Things that needed doing:
Full front and rear brake swap, with MC.
Full engine swap
Coilovers
Steering rack, subframe, arbs
rear ASR brace
front and rear upper strut braces
interior swap: seats, carpet, air vents, ek9 cup holders
Everything got done in one day except the carpet and ek9 cup holders and rear brakes.
Unfortunately we got to the stage of plugging the ecu in but there was 4 plugs but we needed 3. After reading up, I realized I needed a facelift loom, so the next day I got someone about 15 miles away to drop me a obd2b loom, then I drove up to Birmingham from Milton Keynes in a mates car to get a obd2b to obd1 harness.
Then everything was sweet, but I broke down! About 150 meters from my house. Then with a bit of research we relised the alternator was wired in slightly wrong and within 15 minutes it was sorted.
