JDM Coupe

[matt mead]

i got outbid on the engine so im hunting for another one

[matt mead]

Engine still hasent gone any where due to lack of funds and time so i have updated some other things

Anyways, ive decided to go back to stock bumpers, as my front bar is pretty messed up from going up bumpy tracks and driving through the national park

pics:



now that the stresses of uni is over... i have one month of freedom to work on my shitbox

so we started of, taking of the kit.... u may say why, but it brings me back to the time i first saw the little coupey, at heathcote maccas, all stripped out with stock bumper, looking so innocent but deadly on the inside.... so i feel like going back to that...





and the front bumper... fuck these things are such a crap fit... im going to have to use so much body filler...



anyways did more work on my shitbox..... IT RUNS AGAIN

i replaced the spark plugs and got myself a new battery


the next task i had to look at was why was i losing coolant and i now believe the gasket has fucked itself on my water pump and is slowly seeping water out under pressure, i have also found some seeping form the radaitior so i will get some radiator cement shit 2morrow and order in a new water pump...fucken money pits lol

also pretty much have finished my front bar, no prep really just painted, dont really care, will do a better job when i get my new gun and compressor...



but it kinda does look good just with the front bar

oef.. yeah didnt thought about that.. very pricey i think..
what do you think it will cost?

[matt mead]

2g aussie or something stuiped, it wouldnt be worth it

There was some sort of shipping method that turned out to be pretty cheap..shipping by the m3 or similar. You might get some people to chip in. I would be interested in some fibreglass replacement part for my KE.

[matt mead]
