My EG6 Build

[EG6_Ash]

Hi guys to my build thread im new to the site and thought id post a build up hope you guys like.

well before i found this beauty i had a bodge up eg lsi from a local lad in my area. had cut springs, no bolts goin through the suspension to the lower arms,
following didnt work: full beams, indicators, dashboard lights didnt work.
inside the bay the resistor box had cut wires. id upload pictures of it but im too ashamed to put them on however a mate of mine went into the local scrap yard in august and came across an eg6 about ( and i mean ABOUT) to be crushed for no reason what so ever. rolled off a trailor by the owner who owns the scrappies, was literally beggin him for me to have it, had a look around it and thought it was too good to go however whilst sorting a deal with the bloke two others went over to it started ripping parts off started taking the rocker cover off payed with the fuel, made the dizzy lose, after talking to the bloke we came to a deal of £650 and i had to get it within a day. begged everyone i knew for the money. but finally got it to my garage


heres pictures of how it was









and heres it atm

Nice car mate, wish i was lucky enough to find one of these that cheap haha!

 

[EG6_Ash]

i was lucky two man i had soo many people checkin it whilst i left it in the scrappy wanting parts. i had like 5 mins before it wouldve been picked up and crushed lol.
now having loads of people wanting to buy it lol

That rocker is savage pal.. where did ya get it .. or what did ya do to it.. looks anodized

 

[EG6_Ash]

That was on there from when i got it, i was told by a member on CL that it was originally polished and then sprayed over in red lacquer buddy

 

[scrappieman]

looks animal

 

[Championship White]

How did it end up on the scrap-heap?!

 

[spikeyhairdude]

Looks good now. Before bumper were eughhh

 

[EG6_Ash]

It wasnt sparking when the guy took it in, £70 later and i fitted a new dizzy on it fired up first time, then the fuel system needed sorting as it wasnt done properly kept pissin out with fuel.
That was all, soon as i got it to my garage the bumpers came straight off the skirts are still on there for now just gotta spray them in gloss black first

 

[EG6_Ash]

right guys, well before christmas i had my bumpers fitted however it wasnt till i fitted the rear on that i notice it wasnt fitting on properly and that i couldnt get it to fit the rear arch. it was puzzling me for ages felt like smacking my head of a as i didnt notice lol, it wasnt till i looked around at egs with the rear bumpers off and noticed that mine was different to others, started a thread on another forum asking what people thought some thought i was made lol. but heres a few pics on what i was puzzled on.

it was stressing me out i spoke to a few they said make it up and angle gride it off so i did look how much had to come off

thats better

this is how much i had to cut off

after that my bumper fitted perfect and i was able to put my mudflaps on which i was pleased about.

also at the same time i fitted my spoon n1 rep exhaust sorry for the bad pic tho
