Memphis9787's 94 Eunos Presso J-Spec BPT Swap

[memphis9787]

G'day everyone

Ive been meaning to start this for a while so here it is.

I bought this car in Papua New Guinea after it was imported from Japan, when I finished up there I send it back to Australia. Its stock engine wise, somewhere in the future I'll be doing a bpt or KL-ZE swap (not sure which one yet).

First thing Headlights



Chrome Ebay Lights

Next was the Back bumper, tail lights and replacing sticker for a Eunos badge (off a eunos 500)....

.

I replaced the tail lights with a aftermarket set from ebay

Before:



After:




As you can see in those pics there is paint damage to the bumper, My mum decided to take it for a drive and reversed into a pole, no supprise there as she's a habbitual car damager lol

So I sanded back the bumper primed and re-sprayed finishing with a clear coat,
and picked up a Eunos badge to replace the crappy sticker that comes stock.

Before:




After:




I sanded back the windscreen wipers as they were rusty and the paint was coming off
and primed re-sprayed (with stock paint ) and clear coat





Here are some shots I took yesterday:





And my attempt at a fancy B&W Pic

Before:

Nice work on the rear bumper..Did you paint all of it?
Very nice and clean car..You need only bigger rims

[memphis9787]

Thx mate,

Yeah did the whole thing, I tried just doing just the spot but it looked uneven,

Ive got 17'' rims but don't have a spare $ for tires

Here is a old shot with the 17's

Hey, cool car. My wife lived in Papua New Guinea for 5.5 years while she was in high School. Do you speek Pidgin English?

[memphis9787]

Yeah man for sure, but we just call it pidgin, adding the english to the end is a more formal way/old school name,

I'll be running it relativly stock.
The Plan is:
HD clutch kit either Exedy or ACT
CP Forged Pistons & Spool H-Beam Forged Rods (Still deciding, not entirely sure its neccecary hmmm....)
Aftermarket Flywheel
Upgraded Brakes
Intercooler- Not sure what size but waiting on a call from a mate,
3" Exaust
And all the other bits and bobs along the way,
Most of this is new to me so I will be learning a lot along the way


Open her up to have a look and a decent paint job

Nice work getting the BPT started, do let us know how you go getting it all up & running, hey
Also, if you do end up getting that aftermarket kit, I might be interested in the J-spec front lip
Where in Aus are you located?

[memphis9787]

Hey mate,

Im in Noosa, QLD.
I prob wont be getting the body kit for a while I've gotta buy all the motor gear, and get it in and running, but I'll give you a yay when that time comes,

Hopefully picking up a rear disc brake assembly from the wreckers today to start changing the rear drums over

[ethand]

Sweet as! Noosa is real nice, hey - flew over for a family holiday once, that whole coast is beaut
Sweet as, let me know! If its like 18 months time, that still doesn't bother me!
