Tony's Hatch Project
Posted: Sat Dec 06, 2008 4:37 pm
Alright figured i'd share some of this with you guys, it's gonna be a lot of work but i'm gonna be building my self a new daily driver. Reason being, i wanted a hatchback instead of my current coupe daily. That & there was no way i was gonna boost the d15b7 motor that was in my coupe so i looked around and got ahold of jakes old coupe with a d16z6 motor in it & tracked down a hatchback shell that was in pretty good shape body wise & i'm gonna be putting these things together.
Here's the wrecked up coupe. More suspension damage and tweaked body than anything, but has a good motor in it.
The Hatchback shell is decent body wise but is going to take a lot of work because someone cut the main harness all up. I'll be transfering pretty much everything to the hatch.
- has steering rack but not installed, it was in the back
- main harness is fawked
- missing a fender & rear bumper ( i'll pull the fender from the coupe, i ordered the rear bumper already)
- no axles
- no interior other than back half
- no headlights
- tails were in a box
- ect.
you'll get more details as the project progresses.
cable is fubared for the glass in the rear, so it won't latch yet.
I spent today getting the garage ready to do the job, the rhino is back on the ground & ready to rip, and the the left bay is ready so the work will begin tomarrow after it warms up out there.
