winchester's sepang bronze E30

[winchester]

Look good so far, what engine is in it right now? This is one car I'm going to be looking for at the gatebil treff this summer.. where you from?

As of now the engine and drivetrain remains untouched, so it's still original - M20B20. Won't do anything to that part of the car until next winter, so if I am to show up at events it won't be to show off my engine, hehe. I'm from Møre og Romsdal.

Cool story, TheNeek.

I dislike sepang bronze so much

Ordered a new early model front plate with four holes for the extra cooling, plus it fits the M-tech 1 front better. Also ordered a extra light for the trunk. Talked to the guys where I ordered the wheels (they were supposed to arrive today) and they apologized for the inconvenience, and the wheels were still being shipped from Germany. They told me I'd have them during next week. Also dyed my carpet black, which looks awesome.

Tomorrow I'm dying the headliner black aswell, and hopefully I'll get done with the wiring so I can put my interior in. Rear apron should be here tomorrow or on Saturday. Really happy seeing the car come together, haven't driven it in almost two years, so should be fun.

Also working on putting together a list of items to buy to start the next phase of the project for next winter, engine and drivetrain - expensive shit right there. Thinking of adding a cooling pump for the differential from VAC Motorsports along with a finned M cover. Any opinions?

As stated earlier, the rims will be here in a couple of days, so today I ordered in some tires, 205/40-17 Toyo Proxes T1R. My boss was awfully kind, and gave me two Toyo Proxes T1R 235/40-17 which we had laying around in storage, so I saved like 650-700$ right there.

I'm working on getting my hands on some DupliColor products, but I have not yet been able to find a dealer of these products in Norway, but the search continues. I'm going to dye my carpet and headliner black if you wondered. Also working on fixing up my euro trim around the tool box in the trunk, which I'm reupholstering in black leather. My trunk will look good when it's finished, but no progression photos of that will be uploaded. Also I've figured out where all the wires are going to be connected for the power windows to work according to the original harness. Damn, there's a lot of splices and connectors there! The wires needs to go through like 5-6 splices/connectors to even get to the fuse box, lol.

Will do, as soon as I find one.

I'm really looking forward to this thing all coming together, get on that front apron!

So, I just ribbed my brothers car interior today, removed the interior tar and checked the front wheel houses for rust. Man, was I disappointed. Seems there's some work to do before he turns 18 in two weeks.

I've finally got my hands on a M-tech 1 rear apron, so now all that is missing to complete my set is the front apron, which seems to be hard to come by. Aaye, the search continues. Spoke with the guys at Quality Wheels & Tuning today, and my new rims should be here by Friday. By then I hopefully will have the interior carpeting and headliner dyed black and the interior all set.

Thanks Coiln, I love the color myself, can't wait to get it out in the summer! Here's some pictures of my brothers car. Looks kinda neat with 8,5/10x18 rims.
