    Default DB8 " From RAGS " build thread Version 1

    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:

    The coolest taillights EVER!!!!!!!!!!!


    The corner lenses are BADICAL!!!!

    Are Those fasteners for the corner lens made of cardboard????

    Why yes, yes they are!!!!!

    Nice safety features, Cut brake lines.......

    Wow half of the work is already done for me!!!!!!!!!!!


    FRIED WIRING HARNESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who needs Chicken?


    MOAR!!! Fried Wiring Harness!!! The car needs a complete dash and front end harness by the way and both fuse boxes!!!!!!!



    Updates to come!!!

    Later

    UPDATE: 10/22/08





    The "HAS TO GO PILE":

    The "KEEPER PILE":

    The body panels that need a new home:

    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.
