CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK

[ImportFan1]

Very nice pickup. I really loved my EJ8 and wouldn't mind having it back someday or at least finding another in great shape. Good luck with the mods.

Awesome, cant wait to see what you do with her...

Do a '99 '00 front end man. Personally I hate the bumpers of the '96 through '98.

Almost all the hatches I come across have a 99-00 front. I'm going to keep it true to its model and stay 96-98.

[cgpEJ6]

Man, I can't wait to see the progress on this build! The level you built your ej to before it got jacked has me anxious at the progress of this ek. Good Luck!

how many miles?

136k not too bad.

For now im just cleaning and taking most of it apart to inspect any underlying damage. (i dont like surprises) I want to pick up an SiR lip, new headlights, CTR wing with some adjustable brackets, and then turn to suspension and wheels.

i believe so. The fitment was not only crooked initially, but it seems a tiny bit smaller than what it should be. I'll be replacing it anyway with a paint matched Si or CTR grill

how much you pick it up for?

 

[CHILD]

it was 3200

Back into cleaning mode.....and a lil bit of organization for the inevitable wire tuck to come.

OMG i hate dirt...

hand cleaned with a lil bit of Simple Green...i still need to super clean it and power wash out the bay. Also removed all the little clips and brackets that i deemed unnecessary since i'll be wire tucking eventually.

One of two piles of thick dirt and grime in my bay.....ugh

and one "blah" shot

 

[mymmeryloss]

Sounds like a good plan, I just noticed because the car looked virtually untouched. Looking forward to watching this one develop, I remember the white EK you had way back in the day.

oh man, super duper classic days haha. I transitioned from body kits to a spoon lip back then. I always wanted a hatchback but could never find one worth fixing.

Can't wait to see how this one turns out
