Oh yeah, I just realized that the Evo V front clip auction on eBay dropped by $199.

I really wish I had the money to do this!

 

Big update! I was finally able to clear my packages with the US Customs Bureau. Coming from Asia was this OEM Evo 6 hood and from the UK an OEM rear floor panel for my AWD swap. I will be working on swapping in this JDM floor panel over the next few weeks.







More updates coming soon!

 

awesome!!! very glad to see you using an OEM rear floorpan!

 

YES! Oh, yeah; post MOAR YouTube videos later, if you can.

 

Nice update!

That's a bit weird seeing that car. Same city, same color, creepy in a way.

Anyhow back to some updates. I have been working off and on drilling out the spot welds on my floor pan. Seam sealer is really setting me back, I should really invest in an electric grinder.



Going back to the body for just a moment, I was able to source a JDM Evo 6 rear bumper in the states.







All that is left now, body-wise, is to source an OEM Tommi Makinen front bumper. As seen in previous photos I already have the OEM side skirts and rear flares to finish the bodywork.

 

Sick! I wanna see this car in person! Hopefully I can start on my evo project soon..

 

Thanks for working on the body again!

I still envy you and that guy right now.

 

i still have the makinen front bumper from my car that i broke which also has the spotlights, pity the shipping to the states is so rediculously expensive

 

That is quite the project! Subscribed! Great job so far.

 

Neoman, yeah I have found a few overseas but the shipping is really what kills me. Maybe when the exchange rate changes we can talk $$$.

Moving back to the chassis, I just finished removing the excess metal from the floor pan. Now I have to do the same thing all over again, just inside my car.



Close up of spot weld cuts.

 

i'm proud you're still doing this, car look great so far!

 

Great project!!

mate, do you have any part number for this floor panel ?

 

Ive been watching your progress for years. This is some crazy work
