marv Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hi guys, not been on here for a wee while now since I swapped my aerodeck last year. Swapped for a ej6 coupe which I had planned on putting my b18c4 into. Spent a bit of time fitting some bits and pieces and gathering parts for converting it from a d series to b. Some pics...So I fitted a ek9 grill and front lip and done a wee bit colour doing. Fitted Impreza turbo front seats (£20 bargain) wind deflectors, sunstrip,short shifter, Kode steering wheel, Rita circuits 15" et38, 300mm ep3 front brakes, 5zigen border 304 back box with custom pipe work that I done myself, new number plates, generally just cleaning it up. Was browsing the Facebook for sale pages one day and seen a b16 converted ej8 coupe, local and for much cheapness. It was needing some work but with the parts fitted to it I thought that I could combine the two cars to make one good one.It's a clean base but needs tidying. Has a purple passengers side wing, silver grill, washer bottle motor not working, bolts missing, exhaust hitting fuel tank, short shifter snapped, leaking radiator and gearbox is missing 4th lol but for £900 I think it's not bad. Has miester r coilovers, vti fan blades, aem v2, skunk2 alpha manifold, cat back exhaust with buddyclub back box, skunk2 lcas and beaks bar. Iv had it 3 weeks now and made a start swapping and fixing things.So far iv repaired exhaust manifold, made a manifold back b pipe, fitted new washer pump, Rita wheels, Impreza seats,Kode wheel, centre console, linkages and short shifter, painted wing and grill. Still need to service it and fit my 300mm brakes. Think it will be nice in the end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Some good work here The wheels really suit it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krzys Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Good to see you're back! Looks much better with the Rota's on the black one, I take it that's the one you'll convert into the finished project then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Thanks guys. Rotas do look nice.And yes the black fella is the one I'm keeping. Gold ones on gumtree the now but not getting much luck. The mother in law needs a car so I'm going to see if she'd buy it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Looks good man love those wheels. Circuit's???. Any chance of some pics of the seats in and the modified rails for inspiration please Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Good job on that exhaust aswell. Real nice welding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah think they're circuit 8s, got them for a good price but two have some curbing that ideally needs sorted. Iv actually used the Impreza rails. Think I just slotted the front holes a bit. The rears I cut off and just re-welded so they lined up. Will get some pics when I'm next at it. Finding it a bit difficult to get a nice constant weld/technique with tig welding, only done it a few times. Practice makes perfect tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiNK43 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Looks decent to me. Curious about the seats I know a subaru breaker can have seats for Pittence really. Just cant weld. So would appreciate a pic of the modifications some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Yeah they're nice comfy seats and as you say you can get them cheap, £20 in my case lol the frames do require a wee bit cutting and welding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marv Posted February 25, 2016 Author Share Posted February 25, 2016 Now got the coupe up and running and using it on the road. Still a few things to sort but I'm enjoying driving it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
