and this side still need's some love. the front wing is cracked and the wheel arch need finishing


all the bumpers are refreshed with a mat black finish , a new exhaust, polished the entire car back to bright red and hundred's off other jobs that aren't vissible from the outside (including a complete overhaul of the bottem and inner wheel arches)

and the requested photo's ;

the seats;



the headliner (just broken white fakeleather;


and the rear seat.. the blanket on the seat is just for my dog so he doesn't slide through the car and damage the leather
although i dont think it's big enough for 2 persons there are 2 seatbelt's mounted to the floor
i'll make some better photo's somewhere this week

[drakos]

some new pic's

after hours of work the engine bay is as clean asthe day it came out of the factory .. only the intake and valvecover needs to be repainted.
next job after that is a custom cold air intake, battery relocation and a full wire tuck

and new wheels and tire's

the wheel's have been sandblasted and repainted in white and been given a new set of sticky vredestein tire's (175-60-14)
the lowering springs are expected this week for a 1.5 inch drop to make the stance a bit more complete











(the centre caps are missing on the photo's)

Nice rides !

[E-AT_me]

nice wheels. i see you added a lip spoiler in the rear as well..

the wheels remind me of PIAA wheels. do not like exhaust..

[LeonL]

Nice, another one in the Netherlands. Good job so far. Not a fan of the exhaust though

[Chaosmxer]

Super Clean Rex!

[drakos]

lowered my rex today

 

i.ve reindexed the front torsion bars and replaced the rear spring

(later in the progress i will uprate the bars and replace the rear with a gc set to go a bit lower in the rear)

 

anyway.. pic's

 

the original spline

 

and the new one

 

and some cheap ass lowering spring

 

 

to go from this;

[LeonL]

That looks good, need to fix this for mine as well.

[drakos]

yesterday i lowered the shocks and raised the car a bit in the front (the speedbumps were a nightmare  )

it will go lower soon, but first i'll find a solution for the shocks so it doesn't bottom out all the time

 

at the moment it's still lowered a good 2 inches and looks way better than before

some update's;

 

devac't the engine and cleaned the bay up a bit....

rerouted some wire's and hoses , painted the intake and valvecover, dropped the clutch cabel under the intake manifold etc. etc.

the air intake is under construction  

the battery will be moved to the rear of the car so that the intake pipe can be routed to get the coldest air possible

before;

 

 

and after;
