Hi everyone! I got my '92 NA6CE Eunos Roadster in March and have been doing a lot of research on how I wanted to modify the looks. I was originally taken away by the nostalgic nature of the Roadster so I set out to go in that direction. I live in Hong Kong and for those of you who are unaware, we don't have automobile manufacturing plants as its a small city, so all our local vehicles are imported from abroad. That's great news for me cause I can't stand owning a LHD Japanese car. Does that make me a JDM fanboy? Anyway, I was also very reluctant to getting just any Roadster. It had to be a special edition type, hence, I was lucky to find Buddy who is a V-Spec. Bad news is it was painted by a previous owner from BRG to Brilliant Black.
Anyway, I'm gonna be doing a lot of stuff but since this is the Exterior section of the forum, I'll start off with the external modifications. Let's start with how Buddy originally looked like...
Original Nardi wheel, shift knob, and handbrake handle that came with the car in 1992...
A few weeks after I brought him home, I took him to get a good wax. Then there was a club meet~
First off, 3 things caught my eye for Buddy's nostalgic project. OEM style lip, bullet side mirrors, and tail lights. Ordered them online and just received them today:
These were opened at my friendly mechanic's shop as I had to give him the GV tail light panel and OEM style lip to paint. He had to leave the shop to do something so I stayed in his shop to install the mirrors myself. What mirrors? Runabout M2 of course!
The left side came off easy. Cleaned the old gasket area before installing the M2.
The right side was a bitch tho. The left little bastard was stuck....so....
got hold of big momma wrench instead of pathetically hammering it with a screw driver.
Voila! Must be that rust....
There.
Yes, all of you probably know about the engraving...
There's some other stuff I want to post but its only letting me post 4 more images, so I'll leave that to the next update. If you look closely at the last pic, you will have a hint. = )
