Hachi's 180SX...... A car with some DI history

[Hachi]

looks lovely! I don't recognise the number plate. Any links to previous build threads or posts about it?

Searching for them at the moment, I'll post them up when I find them. Car isn't a patch on how it once looked. But I'll get it looking well again.

So here are two pictures from it's past, Firstly when owned by Eileen;



and then when it was owned by DI member marksull;

HAHA no way! I remember that car. I nearly bought it! It was here in cork for ages parked up.

That's cool to see. I remember the car from when Mark had it, had a good bit of work done to it. Be cool to see what you do with it.

Unfortunately most of the work done to it got undone when it was broken for parts. Whoever bought it decided to paint it with black plastidip :facepalm:

Apologies for no real progress on this thread yet, I only noticed that 95% of the pictures I have are detail and reference photos for myself. So I'll take get some better pictures and go from there.

To get it going though here are some some of the first things I did when I first got the car. So as I had know for a long time that I would get a 180sx at some point I had collected a few parts to put on when I got one.

First up was my trust Sparco which I've had for the last 10 years. There was a Nardi on there, but I love the Sparco wheel, so off with the Nardi.



Homemade steering wheel centre thingy



On with the Sparco




Next to the gearknob....Random aluminium one



One new Tomei Duracon Shiftknob


A little blurry, but much better



On with a Broadway mirror.

Jesus are you trying to give me a heart attack! It was down Cork before alright but it's a legit 180sx.
