I have tried a couple of times to start this thread and always get defeated by the pics being the wrong size, Hopefully I have resolved this problem and will try to get some pics up as I go along,
I previously owned a silver cappo which was rotten and I made a brave attempt at repairing it but I managed to get hold of a damaged cappo and have been slowly rebuilding it with parts from the silver car, I dont have any pics of the original damage which was to the rear and light front but will start the pics from when I removed the damaged parts

| As you can see the rear end had a fair bit of damage which I cut out, I then used the rear end from the silver car |

| What made the rebuild worth while was the fact that it has only done 18,000miles and the underside and inside under the carpets was like it had just left the factory.Plus the fact that it was cheap |

| I see from the last pic that the interior wasnt fitted, It has been cleaned up and refitted along with all the lights fitted and checked, Still trying to find the boxes where the bits were in,Havent decided yet wether to fit the 16inch Tooras or not yet as the will need wheel arches, also I am trying to find some clear front indicators for the jdm wings which are the flat indicators, any clues??? |
