WJM Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Before I really starting mod'ing it...way back in Dec of '04 CCR Autox back in...March? Thanks Timmah for the Pic! At a CCR event... The day it happened... Finally got it torn down...it sat like this for the next 6 weeks or so... All the parts from the donor car (1987 GL-10 Sedan, also white ) ready to go on... RX loaded with spares and other parts...along with the transmission project on the ground there...and MORE stuff behind it. Finally, all emptied out and on the lift to get put together. YAY! Its welded on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Lights and fender on...Tom said get the grinder out...I said no, it lines up perfectly. "Holy ***** it does!"-Tom Bumper, trim peice and hood latch/center support. Hood on...awaiting night to fall for more parts to be installed... Grille, Airdam.... My "new" boost guage.... All de-decaled (cept for Solo2 stickers) and mostly clean... Mad T1T3 JDM pics! Next...a good wax job, and some proper autox stickers....and an intercooler.

TurboSPFI Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Wow, thats awesome... props for saving another soob... alot of people would have scrapped it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subi81 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Car looks great but polish up those rims man. Every time I see your car it looks sooooo good then I see the rims and they are just covered in brake dust. Are you using a really dusty pad. Curiosity is just killing me.

DerFahrer Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I'm sure most pads would generate that much dust if Will is driving Nice work dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffast Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 dude if i ever hit somthing i am calling oyu that is awsome it looks like it was just driven of the showroom except for the rims what is the lever behind your shifter for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSSLGECKO Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Looks awesome, Will. Congratulations on an awesome job. [That lever is the Hi/Lo selector for the FT4WD D/R transmisson - damn I want one.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 This is an autocross car...and daily driver right now. I'm WAY too hard on the brakes for wheels to ever be clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WJM Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 the plan is to stick the good hooisers on the white rims, the other hooisers on the set thats on there now...I have another set of rims like that with Khumos already on them....and put streets on the steelies i have and run the stock RX wheel covers.

subyrally Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 eh, just scrub the rims really good, then use a high quality wax on em, that will keep the brake dust from sticking so easily and make em easier to wash the next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XSNRG Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Bravo! Nice work and pictures. That was worthwhile and probably a lot less work/hassle than parting it out and building a new car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
