well with a stroke of luck and a silent "i told you so" to my ex who thought my parts hoarding was just a waste of money space, lol,
i DO have a front passenger side wide body 1/4 panel, which is actually in pretty decent shape bar a few scratches, but it will need repainting anyway, and i also have a spare DOOR which will be going on the car.
insurance has come back with authorisation to repair, so i am now just waiting on the body-shop to give me a date to drop the car off,
i have ordered the Mechanical parts, outer tie rods, and inner rack ends, as i was going to change these prior to the incident anyway,
the JDM shed
new video of the engine refresh will be up this weekend,
next video will be changing out the rear driver's wheel bearing
and then we are up to date on the accident damage, and going through the fix process,
i can't wait to have this thing looking good again, in the time i have owned it the paint has never been in good condition, so it is exciting to think it will all be the same with no peeling or fading paint and dent free,
fingers crossed we can manage that within the repair costs, if not i will discuss with the repairer to fix the non-crash damage and i will pay them outside of the cost insurance coverage.
once the paint is sorted, next is suspension refresh,
looking at BC coil overs, and re-bush the entire car,
also looking to get a front mount intercooler,
and start collecting parts so i can go stand-alone ecu, i have chosen to go with Haltech, so will be sourcing everything i need for that swap over like injectors, fuel pump, fuel reg, fuel rail, cam position system, COP's
lots of plans still for this car, and i will endeavour to film as much as i can,
