Oh yeah, I just realized that the Evo V front clip auction on eBay dropped by $199.

I really wish I had the money to do this!

Big update! I was finally able to clear my packages with the US Customs Bureau. Coming from Asia was this OEM Evo 6 hood and from the UK an OEM rear floor panel for my AWD swap. I will be working on swapping in this JDM floor panel over the next few weeks.







More updates coming soon!

That's a bit weird seeing that car. Same city, same color, creepy in a way.

Anyhow back to some updates. I have been working off and on drilling out the spot welds on my floor pan. Seam sealer is really setting me back, I should really invest in an electric grinder.



Going back to the body for just a moment, I was able to source a JDM Evo 6 rear bumper in the states.







All that is left now, body-wise, is to source an OEM Tommi Makinen front bumper. As seen in previous photos I already have the OEM side skirts and rear flares to finish the bodywork.

Neoman, yeah I have found a few overseas but the shipping is really what kills me. Maybe when the exchange rate changes we can talk $$$.

Moving back to the chassis, I just finished removing the excess metal from the floor pan. Now I have to do the same thing all over again, just inside my car.



Close up of spot weld cuts.
