It's sat on the drive doing nothing
I've sold my black evo project, my white evo blew up so its in garage being broke, my volvo t5r is almost finished then its this lol
I'm in too minds to sell it, due to health problems I may not be able to carry the project on
But if I was to sell it it would go towards another escos but I'm not giving it away as the shell owes me 12k and only one in existence like it

well well well
time for a very small update, as i got that annoyed with time wasters trying to sell the car its going to be more beneficial for me to build it and sell it running, so thats my plan now, my evo 8 is on hold while i do the cossie, im going to need a lot of parts
but ah well
so past couple of days i got the door looms fitted, aerial, some sound deadening, boot wiring, wiper etc and side glass, next week its having new front and rear screens fitted
hopefully i can get some heat tape for bay and get the loom in, im not going to sound deaden the floor yet until the engine and skyline box are in incase i need to mod the tunnel
but some pics, still looking good after 4 years being sat outisde under a cover
nomads fitted
grommit took days to find lol
vents
side glass
electric sunroof motor all fitted and all working
sound proof
top door seal, i need the clips for a pillar if anyone has a pic of what they look like or has any
wiper motor, had to make a loom up as the loom i had was for a mk7 escort and different, but all tailgate wiring in and fitted as well
aerial
door looms, anyone know what the two connectors are for? passenger side has something connected into it but drivers dont and cant see what there for
so not much of an update but its a start

Yeah, although you have more enthusiasm than most building a car you're going to sell straight after! Ah fair enough, thought I'd seen you post a pic of one of your 5's on here once

Hello mate it's GAZ5EVO off MLR haven't been online for ages so catching up where everyone is on their projects. Don't you ever finish a car lol I see them in bits then next thing it's sold doh lol 
This is the one car you have owned that I've been waiting for you to finish, forget the evo and get this done then enjoy it for a while before you sell it, there are always loads of evos to pick ( I know they are getting a few miles on them now and rust..........it like a ford
)

My evo just gonna sit while I do this thing, but if parts are to hard to find it can go and I'll finish the evo, got most of my engine bits for evo anyhow but for the spec I need a lot more, the cossie will be a nice simple spec but with nice touches it goes in the garage this week to get the beam out and start on it
so all helps towards my builds lol

not much done today, was messing around with wiring looms
so ready for old loom to come out
now spares
found a couple of green connectors so cleaned them up
new loom being fitted
all taped up and in place, used some ford strap clips to hold engine bay wiring, a lot better than trying to find the original clips
where the new engine bay loom will connect to the car behind the scuttle panel
battery tray cables all in
so hopefully tomorrow, my roof lining and some other bits turn up, i can get the fuse box in and finish engine bay loom, still got to get the rear beam out as well
