Recently picked up a neglected JDM evo 9 gsr, thought I'd make a build thread to be help keep up with bringing her back to life

Here are some pictures from collection day:





So much curb rash



Sweet carbon trunk lip



Filthy engine bay





More carbon on the front, not to my taste though

 

Figured car life in Kenya would be very rough? At least from what I've seen from Top Gear lol

 

Not really we have a fairly broad car scene mostly Imports from japan though, here's an album of a car show we had last year:

I'll put some more pictures up of the evo, shes fully stripped right now. need to update

 

Great stuff! Bring that beauty back to the way she deserves to be...

Lots of life left in her yet i'd say...

 

Took the eyelids off, some idiot thought painting them while on the headlights was a good idea. There's a thin layer of silver paint on the edges.



after a good clean, good as new

 

As off now the whole interior has been stripped and i've got my hands on basically a whole new interior, plastics and that.
Here are some pictures of it before, I'll get one up with all the new parts when the car is ready.




I don't even know how you break this bit.



Absolutely ****ed drivers seat.



glued on tweeters and some bull**** wiring coming out the plastics.



cigarette holes in the drivers seat. there's one in the passenger seat and the rear bench too



for ****s sake

congrats!,
The car needs a lot of love, it seems you know what your doing.
Subscribing to see more. Goodluck!

 

Surprisingly clean considering the condition of the car
All this wiring has to come out. The car probably had a sound system at some point in its life
All the carbon was restored. Still not really a fan. Proabably going to sell these bits

 

Really happy with the color, its like a mix of Apex silver and Graphite Grey
Needs more low. Coilovers soon and hopefully a new set of wheels, the stock ones are not the best.
Getting a Ralliart lip soon but the stock one will do for now.

 

Beautiful 👌🏻👌🏻

 

It looks like it was in the war (pictures before)

 

Good work and great color choice!

 

Where did you buy it from ? JDM auction or dubai ?
