My lights finally arrived on friday and have just put them in

These are the lights that go up near the rear pass grab handles all i did was run some wiring to the centre light and use the power from it


The best 20 bucks i ever spent on the car and light up the back seat heaps better

[BOGANV8]

Thanks man i hope it sounds better than what i have now.. Cant wait to start working on the car this weekend....

[BOGANV8]

Ok got some more goodies in the mail today



Cant wait to strip this car apart and put all the goodies in

[BOGANV8]

Well spent the day stripping the car interior and some bits on the outside that are getting resprayed.. while stripping the car i found lost of GOLD coins that had fallen down in between the seats and dash parts..

[BOGANV8]

Well its been a bit slow on the working side due to crappy weather and time. But the bits have been sprayed and are ready to go back on, Seats have been repadded and are ready to be picked up, Dash parts are with WRX 884 getting led conversion done.. PCM has been sent away to Steve at Oz Track to have a bit of fine tuning done...

Have also removed all the speakers and door trims and replaced all the speakers and rewired them up. Have cut down the sub box to make a bit more boot space.... Sorry but didnt take any pics of this stuff... The car is covered in dust from the storm we had last week GRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

Wont get much done this weekend as its a LONG WEEKEND

But will be back into it next weekend 2 days worth of working will be sure to have the camera handy then.....

[Timboy]

That's a clean looking car man, very nice piece of work.

Typically I'm not a fan of respraying the plastic inside the car, but you make it look good

Keep up the good work

[BOGANV8]

Thanks TIMBOY yeah it will hopefully look and sound better when i have finished this overhaul

Got into it this arvo due to having a extra hour of sun light . So got a little bit done before the sun went..

Started doing the PCM relocation to inside the cabin. Then needed some tools that i didnt get from work so that came to a hault..





Started on removing the exhaust manifolds and valve covers so i can replace the gaskets.. Winch in turn led me to breaking 3 of my 8 spark plug leads . They were factory ones so was prob time to renew them..



Started to run out of light so will leave it all for tomz now!!!!!

[BOGANV8]

Ok got into it over the weekend.. got a heap done on it despite the problems i had like a broken exhaust manifold bolt (from previous owner) but got it all sorted and full exhaust system in.. P.S what a pain in the ass is the drivers side with having to drop the steering rack...










Also go the computer relocated to inside the cabin came up pretty neat i think. took off my valve covers & throttle body so i can clean them. Also replacing the vavle cover gaskets as they were leaking too..





Made my sub box a bit smaller to give a bit more room in the boot also finished off the stereo install and started to put some of the interior back together, Just waiting on my dash stuff to come back from WRX884 so i can put it all back in.. Also my driver seat it getting repaired as the foam has fallen apart

[wrx884]

[BOGANV8]
