OK, so, i had an attempt at a project before, (ec9 to ef9) that one required more than i had to give so, in my impatience at not having a 4g on the road i gave in an bought an EF1 for relatively cheap that needed some work
![Shocked :shock:](./images/smilies/icon_eek.gif)
so far ive put on a set of dual carbs to up the acceleration a bit, have lowered it on a set of springs that were on the ec9 when i bought it, fitted 15" team drifz wheels, fitted a back box i got off a mini
![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
all on the cheap of course
![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
so when i got it theres was a bad dent in the passenger sill which i discovered to my dismay was rusted through! there was a hole in the Q panel bout the size of a twenty p piece, then i smacked a wall and crumpled drivers wing broke indicator and damaged bumper and filler, so after a long wknd of working on it with a mate whose a panel beater, i have all repaired, including a full set of sprayed door strips and fitting an ef9 spoiler, aslo smoothed the boot lid of the wiper and badges and smoothed the aerial out, also resprayed the back bumper strip, was gona de lock it but though seeing as there'll be lockless door handles going on better not just incase, so after spraying the replacement one off the gl i realised there was a difference in lock hole position
![Embarassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)
so gona have to spray the old one now and put it back on but it will do for the time being!! still needs a proper compound polish and wax and a good valet but its better than it was!! next up is swap the bonnet for another one i have in better condition, tidy up the interior with better seats and maybe spray the plastics all black and recover the roof lining with something black, any ideas?? have to try get it NCT'd this month and then hopefully B16a'd next month
