Dave Posted Saturday at 03:53 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:53 PM What's the new project Broon? Any clues lol. The R18 is a decent engine tbh, just need to work it more with the gears. Same engine in my FN1 TypeS. For any fun you need to use the revs, but if just pottering about they are brillant on fuel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted Sunday at 07:34 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 07:34 AM Yes, it's surprisingly lively when you give it since beans, but it lulls you into pottering about being eco 😁 The new wagon isn't really a wagon at all... It's a k20 (the slow one) It's an auto It's big It's got 8 seats It's from Japan..... It's a stepwagon! Needs some tlc, as its been getting used as a works van by the import company we got it off, and the crazy fibre glass bumper needs fixing from being smashed on an uneven road (probably with the air suspension too low), and the massive rear spoiler needs refitting (maybe...), but it generally needs a really good clean. The paint from the body kit also peeled off when they've took their stickers off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dr_broon Posted Sunday at 07:52 AM Author Share Posted Sunday at 07:52 AM You can't really tell from the pics how grotty the interior is/was, but it's starting to come up nice. Used some leather cleaner on the seats yesterday and the filth that came off them was amazing. Still need another go and conditioning, but well impressed with how well they've come up. Not sure what to do about the bumper yet, as it's pretty bad with a big section missing... Tempted to go dial it back a bit with the bumper, but it does look cool on the import photos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got any plans for the wheels? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted Sunday at 06:38 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 06:38 PM Cheers @dan1I quite like the look of the black steelies, but the alloy on the front is from a set of 16s that were on the wife's first accord she had, and I think that looks canny as well. Not sure yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_broon Posted 23 hours ago Author Share Posted 23 hours ago Started getting the bumper fix under way.. It's made out of fiber glass, but the biggest issue is going to be the return underneath that's not really there any more... Should be like this.. So I taped it together in place with masking tape, the duct tape on the back, so that it was all in the right place, then drew around the bottom to make a template of the splitter Waiting for some glue to go off on the wooden template, and haven't had much time after work, so that's probably it for tonight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
