been on here years loytering about generally looking at parts and build threads hiding behind the shadows etc...
thaugth i would share my build up thread with you all
long story short i have a ukdm itr which over the years i have upgraded to use on trackdays .removed everything i could really but then decided to start looking at removal of abs and a cage .
the problem was i had rust in the usuall area and to fix this it would cost £££££'s
so decided to sack the shell off use what i can from it and buy a jdm shell
pick of the old horse out on track
real shame to break that car
but the new one will be better
so anyway
managed to find a bare shell and i mean bare shell
all that was on it was doors and boot .
jdm 96 spec non abs model with a omp welded in cage
ignore th ebonnet it was just stopping the cover from falling into the bay
as you can see there is alot to do and parts ive had to source ,
so i spent a few weeks collecting parts to get the shell to a rollinbg point so i could transport it to my place
with a few parts he had laying round ,a few parts from tegiwa and borrowing a friends spare wheels and a hour or two helping lewis its now at a stage ready for collection
so a few weeks later managed to get a good friend to collect it for me
few pictures
first jobs were
-clear it out
-somehow try and clean it (well the panels i have )
-remove the dash
picked up some roat slips in 15 x 7 and laced them up ready with my 888's
so the next day
dash removed ,need to trim a bit more where it fouls the cage as its snug and with a screen in it wouldnt come out .
managed to remove old fog light and some other bits of wiring and fit the rear bumper ,bodge in the front windows and rears to make it more water tight
stripped the last bits i could out from the bay
removal of the sticker on the boot and swapped the spoiler for a better condition one lewis had given me
stripped the brake master and clutch master off and a few other bits that i wont need
gave the bay a good clean ,only quick im not into cleaning

as u say th uk specs are a nightmare for rust and once they start it just spreads like wildfire lol much safer option switching to the import shell
