Canadian zenki build
Picked her up beginning of the year.
drove up 4 hours in the rain to get it. Once we got there I discovered it was a little rougher than described.... Kid said the rockers were a little rough, and it had a few dings and scratches here and there, well it turns out the rockers are completely gone, there's a hole (small) in the driver side rear floor, both quarters are rotten and have been fixed temporarily all ready, passenger side door was swung backwards in the wind into the fender (caved the door right in and didn't allow door to open/close properly), the front lip of the hood is covered in small rust bubbles, and the roof was supposedly fine even though the portable garage it was in collapsed/blew over the car, well it isn't fine its full of probably half dozen good sized dents clearly from the garage coming down....and the driver side quarter window is smashed. So anyways the good is that the car has a sr20det black top swapped into it, has hsd adjustae coil overs, full 3" HKS exhaust, short through shifter, xspower intercooler, mushimoto aluminum rad with dual slim fans, HKS bov, xxrs 17/8.25&9.75,and a few other goodies. Unfortunately the wiring in this car was done really quickly and basically just so it worked so I have spent the last 4 days going through it all and fixing what needed fixing and undoing a few things here and there..I had to rewire the headlights, both electric fans, the power cable running to the trunk, and the battery box aswell as the ground. Also changed the door, banged out the fender, fixed the trunk latch (had a rope to pull it open) rewired the fan switch, aswell as the boost gauge and light, fixed a power steering leak, swapped out old sticky power window switches for new ones... And a few things I'm forgetting... Anyways here's some pics of her so far. Ride home Got her home The right quarter is the worse Pass. Door beat up Spare parts Changin out the door Some nasty power steering leaks Fan wires/grounds/power cable when I got it (glove box and heater box removed) Tiddied up a bit After I cleaned up the fan switch wires and power cable (runs along tranny tunnel) I wanted to eliminate these two switches but couldn't get it without blowing fuses so I left em, the racecar switch is for the fans lol and the other is for boost gauge light. Needs tires bad Ended up running power from the left side headlight to the right side because the wires were dead, too bad I already ordered a new hid kit lol oh well, I'll have spares.. This pic shows how the bottom of the intercooler is pushed in, will this affect anything? This is what the engine bay looked like before I got it, if you look you can see wires running everywhere down the left side, there all routed half decent now and the main power cable (big blue one running over the back of the motor) is now ran straight through the left side (looking at the picture) with all the other wires Well that's it for now, if you guys see anything concerning or that I should know feel free to let me know, I'd appreciate it a lot. Got rear camber bars 30mm rear overfenders New window (old one was smashed with potable garage) Worked out the damage on the roof from the garage Also bumped out caved in fender Found a dead mouse above the headliner Just adjusted the coilovers to a mad Jdm drift stance. ...Well it looks better to me anyways hahah Pics Quarters mocked up They're duraflex so they aren't the greatest... Especially the gas door filler panel... I plan to mold the panels on though so everything will be fixed Probably won't use this abortion though: Quarters Adjusted coils This is how they were when I started with it, now the collars are all sorta stacked up at the base and I turned the centres down Camber bars not yet installed Well made the 2 hour trip for the bumper and skirts today. Went to the shop and slipped them on real quick, here's some pics: I actually really like the kit, but the skirts are not fitting quite aswell as id like, also I'll need to trim the Lower opening in the front bumper to accommodate the intercooler More to come |
