Bought my 5th Hachi ;-)

[dAYTONA]

Hi Guys,

It's my birthday next week, so I thought I'd get myself a early gift...

I bought another Kouki Hachi today...

it has front damge, but nothing that can't be fixed.

Nice two tone silver, with factory sunroof ;-)

Bought it with the help of Corey, who actually lives in the same city as the previous owner, and arranged payment etc. big thanks to him.

I will be picking it up next thursday, and taking it to where the rest of my hachis will be ;-)

here are some pics

Congrats!

So what are u plan for the car?

[dAYTONA]

firstly repair the damge, and then drive it.

after some time, I will decide if I will strip it, and fix it up, or sell it as is.

we'll see how things move along with my other hachi's

WHow!
Not too vital damage I hope?

What did the previous owner do to it? Had some trouble with a tree crossing the road?

it doesn't look too bad of a damage if the wheel still pointing forward. hope it's nothing structural.

when i crashed my 2 years ago, the shell was twisted, but the suspension and arms are untouched. if i had zip ties the bumper on instead of nuts & bolts, i could have save the headlight, sidelight and front grill, and bumper bracket.

Damage not vital. The owner had the car for 10 years, and then gave it to his son... no comment.

Nope. Only the radiator, grille and the bumper will need to be replaced. One of the headlights is ok, and the other will need to be fixed. Both corner lights are ok. Indicators in bumper are ok too, aswell as the spoiler... which suprisingly survived the crash because it got loose from the bumper ;-)

I will make some more photos of the car next thursday, so on friday i will post some pics..

sounds not too bad atall. it's look like you got yourself a bargain there.

how about the bumper bracket?? the Kouki one cost a fair bit from Mr T.

got any photos for the rest of your collection?? there's none in the gallery section.

The bumper brakets one one side should be fine, the other maybe damged, but they can be made...

you might think that this is a silly question but can i have the bumper skin?

[dAYTONA]

I will not be throwing it away. And I don't think it's a silly question.
