NoHachi's KE25 corolla coupe

We can find plenty of projects for your carbon guy if you really want to...some might even turn a profit. But lets not go off-topic with carbon fantasies just yet.
What this thread needs are more pics, although I understand why you havent got many with the car at the shop.

Spent my whole saterday afternoon fibreglassing that light bezel back together...hope it wont break anymore.

Due to popular demand: Pics of me doing stuff no-one should be very interested in!

What is this you say? Well I'm still in the process of painting the plastic bits and bobs. The jobs taking a lot more time then I had hoped..oh well. Luckily the facilities as mentioned are excellent. Fully equipped booth, free primer and filler, tons of sandingpaper and degreasing agents and a dust free drying room. Should be ready for paint tomorrow so I can slap them onto the car on friday.
The car is ready by the way..need half a day to get the interior back in, but all the bodywork has been done. She's not looking tremendously pretty but is as sound as a rock.

Seems like I have to get more friendly with some guys in your department :-)

Damn, why don't I have such facilities.

Okidoki, finished all the paint work this afternoon...It looked OK to me when I left it, hope it dries up nicely in the oven.
The weathergods permitting, I will build up the car again tomorrow..might even be pics available if I can find my Japanese->Dutch socket adapter..

Meanwhile I'm having big doubts about the suspension setup... to 4 link or not.. The rear will most likely be a coilover setup..granted I can get into contact with the guys doing the actual selling.

To continue my little monologue:
Today I spent the entire day building up the car again..Took a lot more time then I had planned or expected, lots of small jobs to do everywhere. Its finished though, all the lighting works again and the engine still purrs like a little overweight kitten.
I even took the time to make some poor pics. The car was parked in the bodyworkshop for the past 2 weeks so she'll be needing a good wash, wax and polish job. Wish the car already had proper wheels instead of these shopping trolly ones.

Tomorrow (again weathergods permitting) she'll be cleaned and MOT'd again.

[Mux213]

Whow! looks a whole lot better already!!!

[banpei]

Looks good.
Damn shame those minilites didn't fit.

[oldskull]
