ok ok i'll pull my finger out here.
the purple beast got retired and a new shell was purchased, it was cheaper than the upkeep on the purple beast and i will miss her once shes gone forever.
so list of things i will be doing...
- remove all surface rush done (was barely anything)
- remove as much as possible from new shell and sandblast them / powdercoat where required.
- respray shell in same colour but either add a few shades of black into the colour or a black pearl.
- replace all bushes
- reupholster interior, (condemplating a mix of charcoal and black suede)
- Anodize all aluiminium parts on and in engine bay
- hide engine loom and remove all parts as possible in engine bay
- install 100mm intercooler and 3inch piping
- install full management.
- ceramic coat manifold and turbo housing (might also get the exhaust done but i have heard ceramic is fragile to wear n bumps)
- install twin plate HKS modified clutch (Carbotic solid center plates)
- overhaul brake and clutch system
- prepare fuel system for e85 (thanks to leighs comments and finding out there isnt much to do to get car ready)
- rewire body loom and install alarm system into the loom.
- black braided lines where ever as possible.
- clean and detail all interior and exterior parts to remove build up and dust/ dirt.
- either polish or anodize my Super advan rims
Pictures below:
old Shell (RIP)
new Shell (90's model, was a 7mgte manual so has 3.7LSD)
