Bwahaahahahahahahah I know right

The wife says the ginger step step child is coming home. Need to move the Audi to my mates house. To many cars at home and refuse to park the Audi outside. There is forever kids playing ball games outside and don't want to have to go to jail for strangling a kid hahaha

So brought the Hachi home









Peanuts was in the Hachi while I was towing it and he got the brakes so hot down the one hill that i could see smoke and quickly jumped out thinking the car was on fire hahahahahah

first things first..... get rid of those Toyota badges!!!!!!!!!!!!
Took some fishing line and started cutting






and its off yaaaaay!!!!


Then started to strip the headlight assembly to replace the cover and garnish







and new one fitted





next up was removing the radiator and the aircon condenser and the pipes











removed the bumper as well to try some paint remover tips and it was beer time!!!!!!



Back to work!

Started stripping the drivers side door panel to get to the window mech





Yes this is perspex that the previous owner felt it was a good idea to use in replacement of the window glass



still pieces of shattered glass in the door and hell of a lot of dirt so took a paint brush to sweep it out and sucked it all up with a vacuum cleaner



Glass in, door panel back and now i have a working window





radiator does not fight as it is so will have to make a plan some how



and first proper selfie with my hachi

Why don't you buy a OEM radiator?

They are very very cool...... Even with a 20V on high performance, they perform just right!

would love to but cant find them here locally of course and can only imagine what shipping would cost me

Good news!!!!!!! Found a place that can repair the radiator!!!

So soon I'll be driving it.

Also I removed the bumpers, tow bar and that damn ugly boot spoiler that we found out comes from a Nissan Sentra.

They really butchered the boot to install it so really upset about that.

Then for shits and giggles I put a rocket bunny boot spoiler on

Would look better if I had huge j wheels with arches and more black parts

No bud he had damaged the window, so he replaced the window with a normal old corolla and it's from a 4 door so shorter, then the piece that was short he added a piece of lexan

Got some goodies today and finished painting my bumpers. I just used some rubber coating then sprayed with textured paint.

This is a temp paint on the bumper
