copied from mlr so please ignore some of the text, my escos has been put on hold due to me doing this

well after 2012 being the worse year of my life, december hitting me very hard with so much bad stuff happening i didnt think anything could get any worse

well on boxing day i ended up crashing my evo after driving like a total tool becuase of everything happening i hit a bridge so only myself to blame

i couldnt see the full extent of the damage until it was in the garage which revealled, bumper,wing,screen, both air bags, steering arm, ball joint, and the drive shaft popped out, and the car drove home the 6 miles or so lol, which after driving it home made me think the car wants to live

after looking into the damage it never touched my doors or headlights, and no chassis damage anywhere, so i got straight on stripping it as this was my point to do the full build on it, sorry for lack of pics just been busy with it, but ill start to get pics from now on

so the car as it was before the crash





after the impact, and in november, i done single headlight conversion, breather system and cam cover, got the clear and red rear garnish lights and modded them into foglights, as well as modded the decat so the exhaust fitted, new external wastegate and screamer pipe, batt in boot location, done loads and was running spot on
















so the strip down, this will be a full build, so ill be asking loads of questions in the forum to get help and advise as well as evos are still new to me, the car is now a bare shell, and i made a frame to roll it on its side to get the floor back to bare metal, and had to do a couple of bits of welding to the chassis legs, removed inner arch hanger front tow hook, rear will be removed as well, batt tray has gone from engine bay, also took the lips off the rear arches and the lips off the inner front arches to compensate for wider wheels, already running 9.5x18, but you will see as the car starts to get built as ill doc everything i can, the rear arches have been rubbing on inner door shuts,so need to look into this to see what i can do







sunburnt from welding the frame up lol



back to metal







thats all the pics i have, more as i do more work now, ive ordered some rust bullet which will be applied first, then it will have sealant and brushable seam sealant in places as well as stone chip then paint and laquer, then the car will be back on stands so i can get the arches boot floor and engine bay painted

then will start with rear beam first as i need to get it rolling before i can do the paint work
