you've just conviced me on my engine bay colour, simple yet way cool, your build certainly looks promising, what sorta plans have you got?
Time after time, i kept telling myself, yup im going to rebuild a sprinter from scratch just the way i like it, when i drive the car people will see my personality through the car, and thats what a car does, shows either your rich, fast, easy going, just dont give a fkcu etc...
this is my first time building a car from scratch, age 20, as much as i love the ae86, i still dont know much of it at all, i dont pay much attention to this is good to make you drift and this is what not to do and JDM is the only way, blah blah blah, i just love driving the damh old bastard around cuz its a fun car and i like it
so with that in mind, i have to build one up for ME needs=]
first thing, strip that hoe, she naked now!!
this isnt my original shell...my original one had to much rust when i stripped it with my bro, we attempted sanding and grinding out rust but it was obvious we were going to be left with only the engine bay and nothing else, long story short, picked up a rolling shell *my brothers very first sprinter, i mean very first sprinter back in 2000 or something*, and now its my ride
Sky blue standard colour she came in
================================================== =============================
so thats that.....and today i took a sickie from work, best idea i ever had cause look at it now
and then after 8:30pm, everything else was back in its place
sorry for camera phone at night...sucks
update soon when i get my engine home

looking good bro .. just finish off your car and we can start mine... ahahaha...
looking good man cant wait to see more of the project
the dyno pull to 300rwkw
BT20v is making 300rwkw like i said i would without nitrous so now its time for some spray and see if she will run a 10s or less
looks good richard...
mines gonna look like urs soon... heheh, just wait till i start my own thread...
thanks everyone, sorry for late reply, i only plan to update this when there is something worth updating here
ok so from 7pm - 11:30pm, i spent the night doing my rear guards
yeah i know camera is so shit, cant really tell the difference but you will when it gets some paint on it, this is not how they finish up, this is just how they start...
BEFORE AFTER
i put some 13' with 205 tyres to give a better idea of how flared they are, doesn't justify much since they are small wheels with gay offset
got some adjustable shocks for the rear from my friend, Koni, used condition, still better then dead standard shocks =]
engine should be home by the weekend >_<, thanks again and i'll update when something new comes along
dose
any progress man??
yeah im still working on the rear guards, just bogging them up to look nice now and doing few rust repair...
im still waiting for the engine to be done =.='...
everything takes longer when u do it alone...
car should be fully resprayed in 2weeks though
dose
nice ...
