Hi guys im finally going to start my build thread. if anyone has any ideas or feedback let me know please here goes....
i got my ek4 around sep/oct time after swapping my supra for it. being desperate at the time and waiting months to get a civic i hardly looked over the car (silly move i know) so after a week or two i started getting problem after problem so right now i have it off the road
I stripped out and noticed that its a complete mess water leaking in from the sunroof drain which has flooded the inside. really poor paintwork, crash damage to the front end, stupid amp wiring, damaged wheels, poor wheel nuts that have threaded all my studs, no ABS and so much more. so ive decided to build it from the ground up
Over the next few months i will be doing the following
new body work fixing all bumpers and crash damage
Fresh respray from black to blue
fix the ABS
fix the key barrel (key comes out when engine is on)
set of red ROTA GT3 alloys
brand new set of branded tyres
wheel nuts - BLOX £50
hub studs - ARP £70
new battery - TMS £45
upgraded brakes
coilovers
new interior (blue carpet red seats)
new exhaust
new clutch
B18C-R swap
S80 gearbox with 4.7FD
anyone got any ideas on what brands to get ?
here are some pics of the car
My stripped out interior
My leak
getting the water out
my poor leather interior
my broken bumpers
front end damage
and some engine shots
new battery
blox wheel nuts and arp hub studs
