    As she sat when I got it first,



    Unfortanly the drift car had to be atripped to build this so stripped it down and put all the suspension onto the Kouki and got it sitting abit lower



    Got it into the shed and stared dropping the engine into it





    Got the front mount fitted and started mocking up the intercooler pipes



    Just tacked them together and got one of the welders at work to weld them up nicer finish on them
    Then what I could of done.





    Me been fussy I didn't want any of the body loom in the engine bay so decided to put it in under the dash and extend out the wires for the lights and things. The mess I had ended up with. ( ended up allot tidyer after I changed how it was ran but got no pictures of it)




    Put on all the kit for a quick look the inner child got the better of me





    And the jdm coolness 3rd break light



    This is about as far as I am at the moment, hopefully be going off to paint in the new year.
    Il try update this in a few days with better/more pictures

    Time to update this, got a small bit done over the past few weeks,

    Finally got the handbreak finished after allot of trial and error, and thankfully you can't notice it when the centre console is in.





    Picked up a set of front calipers aswell as the old ones where half goosed



    Also picked up a set of ganador mirrors and a d-max boot lip for it





    That's pretty much all for now, just waiting for it to go off for paint now and then mapping will update again when it's all one colour
