Wow. Nice project:top: Need a lot of RM & TLC:rock: What engine r u goin to use? Good luck wt yr project & keep us update:smokin:
Then the car got send to a cherry tree workshop ..... With top notch and ultra expensive security system.... Rear View Dashboard Floor One month later ....
oh my god.. pity to look at the car like that.. but that is what we call a realy strip down car, ready for a full restoration. hope you manage to rebuild the car man.. keep us posted! p/s my personal opinion, better off buying the yellow 2002 on sale in the other thread, all looks fine and ready to be driven ..(but a bit too high on the price)
Your E21 could not be any worse than this. Yeah the starter motor would be nice ..... may be I can take it apart and chrome the shell .... Here are some before and after pictures of the parts ... Air Filter Box: Valve Cover: Water Distributor ... first sent to engineering shop for rebuilding ... then chormed ... Front Grills after special plastic chroming ... not many place do this ...
Wah lau later yr engine bay will be bling bling wt all chrome thingy. Can u share the place that do the chroming.
hahaha...wow! this is goona be one great looking Nk inside out!! cool job dude. lemme know when you want the starter aight? its just sitting there waiting for you...
Chroming .... Pan Malaysia somewhere deep inside Sg Buluh. Last month I went, they no longer open for walk in customers .... people like us lah. Too troublesome/petty for their smooth operation. The shop where I send the front grill can do the work ... but it will cost you ... name is Koh Surface Treating & Engineering Tel 03-61565455, call them and ask them to fax you the location map. What Pan Malaysia don't want to do Koh will do, eg I chrome my steel spare wheel @RM150 and the plastic grill (6pcs) and inner taillight box(2pcs) @ RM600.
Upholstery works Now, the upholstery works. July 2007 I sent to a shop in my kampung....why? cheap. quality? I can say good, value for money. RM750 for full set of seats RM 140 for 4 pcs of door panel(only RM35 per door) RM 70 for dash board Quoted but not done Roof liner RM 150 Floor Carpet RM180 Front seat, the headrest I took from a E21(?) Rear seat Front door card, before, original state After, basically change the door card and wrap new with PU Rear door, original After, same as above. The dashboard
Wow Max, that real nicely done seat. Are those leather? And can you post some photo of details/close-up of your dashboard.
InitilaM, the armrest at the back seat is original. The headrest for the front seat is from E21 (?) and the upholstery shop made some modification on the seat to enable the headrest stems to go inside the seat. Strider, the material is not leather. It may look like leather, and feel like leather .... Cannot afford leather at this moment, and the upholstery shop do not have leather. I asked the guy to do double stitching at the edges, same like the more expensive leather seats. For you, here are better pictures of the dashboards:
