DB8 " From RAGS " build thread Version 1

[drtyhatch]

So i picked this pile of junk up a few weeks back. I really should have examined the car a little more but whatever for $400 you get what you pay for. I paid for a pile of crap. Anyways this thread will be updated as progress begins. The car is going to be stripped of everything, all new body panels and debated for a while about the front end because i already have a jdm front DB8 but I decided to go with the JDM front anyways. Paint color will be B90P Super Sonic Blue Pearl. Progress will be slow and so will updates.

Start of the tear down:

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Hit up silversol. He just got a four door GSR that he is parting out. Some parts may come in hand.

Good luck with the build though dude.

[drtyhatch]

thanks guys

[NAIZBST]

I have some rear door parts if you need em

[drtyhatch]

I really need a complete harness, everything under the dash-forward and a Interlock control unit. The wiring is so effed up, i really don't want to try and fix it, but would rather replace. I could really use a good drivers front and rear door skins or shells with very minimal dents or dings.

[SiLkY_JohnSon]

Hope it runs smoothytly bro cuz i would like to see dat fo do in good shape

Yes it will be a k series but it is not what you guys are thinking... the build will consist of a K20A3+turbo+Kpro.
