Hehe... Try to stop me.
Anyway, I still have about 1 1/2 years left to decide: I think by that time I might respray the car. But I could also do it in steps.

It used to be red and before this black and it is going to be something else this time

I was actually sthinking about gray too with black bumpers... Allmost like this:

But post a pic of the Honda-gray!

nice JOB!!!!!!

What code for the Honda gray?

[Ivan141]

That's not the honda grey. I'lll try and find a picture for you guys. I'm going for a darker grey myself, two-tone of course. So prepare not to be the only one with a grey hachi! I own a coupe anyway so it's not that big a deal..

[Jan Pedersen]

Banpei, don't push your luck

I'm not sure I'll go for that exact gray color either, but it gives you an idea... I might even give it a hint of pearl (not sure thats what its called), but I don't know if this will bring it too far from original. What do you guys think?

[Ivan141]

Here's a pic I found, the colour changes a lot depending on the light conditions..bit similar to the grey colour on toyota's corolla T-sport.

All rust work has been done now... I only has to do some seam weld, seal and so on to get it ready for paint

[Jan Pedersen]

I started preping everything underneath the car to get it powder coated. I'll post some pics when its done...

I also took the diff apart to make the LSD work as it should:



Sorry for the blurry pic, but as you see its not in great condition New parts has been ordered

And some seem welds:


I still need a fuel lid door - from the US since I don't want any key holes - and cabels to to open it... Max is trying to get it for me - I hope it doesn't take too long! Apart from this its ready for some paint

[dAYTONA]

how is it going to open?

I am going to weld my keyhole shut, and use a cable.

[Mux213]

daytona,

certain hachi's came standard with the cable that opens the lid from a thingy next to the drivers chair. If I am not mistaken Banpeis SR5 has it So in theory you should be able to source everything originally toyota

[The Doctor]

then just tear Banpei's car apart and write down the numbers which are on the parts.

or find a parts catalogue
