Ebay J-Blood copy wing turned up, it fits like, well, like its for a different car! Lol
Don't think I'll end up using it, I would take ALOT of work to get ir right...
Anyways, got 4 days off so I'll start getting it ready for paint!
Copied from toymods, I picked this up early this year and havent really done much to it untill now.
Rust in rear arches have been repaired allready, (Looks like its been done properly too!) The body looks very straight, I gave it a good wash and couldn't find a dent in it!
Only rust I have found is in the passenger side door at the bottom on the inner, the skin seems to be okay. It came with the front lip that is on it and side skirts (which arnt fitted).
Oh yeah, dash has no cracks, just the thin hard plastic bit above instrument cluster has a slight crack. and the rest of the interior is great, abeit dirty.
Its only got a 4AC but I have plans to fit something better. It has briefly crossed my mind to part out the 22 and use some of the bits for the 86...

Stripped out, getting ready for paint
Found some rust in the hatch, GRRR!
Folded up a new bit of steel and welded it in, took it slow but still managed to warp it a bit...
Had a bit of progress...
Also I've got a bit of stuff to go on once its all put back together.
8kg/mm & 6kg/mm springs F/R
New front and rear short! shocks
AJPS Adjustable panhard rod
Whiteline front strut brace
New clutch master and slave cylinders
New rack ends
New balljoints
New Rack bushes
New rack boots
New suspension bushes (Everything)
New pedal pads
Got a completly rust free hatch!
Iffy aftermarket steering wheel
Long boss
Boost, water and oil temp guages
JDM levin grill
16 x 8 Rota grids, or 15 x 8 Rota RB's (Havent decided which will go on this and which will go on the TA22)
Under car surge tank
Smallport 4AGE (came with a stainless turbo manifold and T25)
Standard ECU
So i'm looking for a complete loom for the motor and any bits needed to make it go, i'll be running it NA for a while. So stuff like loom, map sensor, ignitors, coils etc and extractors.
edit: Oh yeah and a set of white body bump strips!
Nice mate, i love reading build ups - i do have a complete loom and ecu but its a bigport one
anyways gl with the build!
. h i t o r i k o .

Yeah the white stripe is the bumpstrip only. I have an incomplete (and rough) black set that I could paint, or I could possibly use a white vinyl strip meantime till I can source the proper thing.
Got a bit more done: Doors, bonnet, front bumper and hatch on. Wheels on, rear quarter glass in, fuel door on. I've been painting cleaning etc. everything before it goes on so its taking a long time to get it back together.
Rear bumper and side skirts not painted yet, was hoping to get a better bumper or a lip or pods for it first.
I got a bit carried away with the rear arches, I need more offset now!

There's been a little progress...
I may get flamed for using smoked tailights but they were half the price of second hand red or whitelines so they will do for now
