Almond Cream Hatch Project

Post by Josh. »

Decided to make a build thread from the persuasion of my dad (Ernie). He pointed this out to me the other day and I just had to have it at the price I got it for! Thanks to Grant13 on here for the car and spares at such a bargin.

It shouldn't be too much of a task to peice back together, it just needs the dash and plastics fitting, a pair of brides, coilovers, mf10/ circuit 10's or rpf1's and engine which will be some form of b series, haven't decided yet.

Only got the one picture for now, will get more at the weekend.

And my other car

That EG looks very mean, I don't usually like matte black but it works on that. What spec is it?
Is the EF shell all solid then?

I would think so, but we've not tryed it... still a couple of brackets to add to the very edge where it meets the lip.

A couple more pics from today, I cleaned it up and my dad found that its more rotten than expected as its been patched up and it's come back through but it's no biggie.

The huge pile of parts that was in the car-

A pic after I wiped it down, still needs polishing-
