my 20valve pigglett

[sprint86]

hey guys my name is josh,
i have had my 86 since the start of january 2009, although i have had my eyes on hachis for a fair while now,

basically when i first go it, it was pretty standard, just the usuall front coilovers, rear shock and spring combo, a vertex kit and of coarse a silver top 20 valve!!!

since i have owned it i have broken the following, clutch master cylinder, 2 diffs, steering rack, exhast, and finally a gearbox.
and i have only had my car for about 6 or 7 months lol!!!

after all these problems i have decided to take the car off the road for a while till i fix a lots of common problems with old cars!

i started this 2 weeks ago, i have basically stipped the car to a rolling shell

got a new gearbox to go in ad well as a flywheel and clutch, going to paint the engine bay, hide a lot of wireing, fill holes in bay, do a general tidy and clean up!!!!


here is a list of the gear in my car!!!

some picks of when i first picked her up





the front bar was pretty badly fitted, gave me the shits, then i slid into a gutter, not bad or anything, just cracked it up a bit lol, hence the moo cow paint job


im a pretty keen fan of black bumpers, then this happened\



ducktail, new front bumper, painted wheel centers and black bumpers, this combo has lasted for a fair while,

then a nice wet morning about 3 weeks ago, went to the shop got the milk, came to my favorite sliding corner, 1st brapp brapp brapp, snap second brapp brapp brapp, about to straighten up and go to third then, BOOOOOOOMMMM, gearbox bearing broke, then was making horendos noises, drove around the corner, up my hilly street, and parked the slut in the garage, cracked the shits and started stripping her!

a week later she looked like this





the engine bay was cluttered with stupif micro tech wires runing every bloody direction, so i started hiding wires, doing a general clean and degrease, bay way filthy, then i painted the bay matt black for tuffness lol



my interior was pretty shabby i must say, i didnt like the stupid adm colour setup so i started painting everything an oem saturn black

the interior looked like this after an hour or so





well thats enough updates for now, im going to be updating all the time so stay tuned for more building!!!
