Here's my project. Lately i was thinking of selling because of the rust it has but i don't know for sure. But here it is anyways.

It's from 1987.

Exterior:
stock

Interior:
-sabelt bucketseat
-sparco steeringwheel

mechanics:
-bilstein shocks
-springs:unknown
-open airfilter

It's has 318800 km on the clock but it supposed to have a newer engine with only 150000 km .

It has all the rust a hachi can have ,so it needs alot of work .

nice ride!

sounds like a project alright Very Happy

hehe. Is that a changed muffler as well?

your engine bay looks pretty clean, cleaned it yourself prior to pictures? or previous owner really did a good job with bay maintenance? Smile

(clean cam covers and all)

@Cavey, ow i forgot to tell ,it's a "remus" muffler . But it doesn't have a nice sound ,that's why i want to change it .

All cleaning is done by myself Wink

. Maybe i'm gone steamclean the engine ,they told that works really good if you want to have a clean enginebay.

But the engine has a lot of rusty brackets ,but i'm gonna repaint them in matt black.

20 minutes ago i was driving to the local store and my left indicators started blinking like crazy. So i pulled over and i saw that the left one in the bumper wasn't working. When i got home i checked the lightbulb but that was very good ,so i think it's a wire who has bad connection but i'll check it tomorrow Wink

Not really an update but did some work on the hachi today.

Last week i noticed that my starting problems came back.
So i decided to take out the sparkplugs to check them.

I took them out and immediatly saw what the problem was . All the sparkplugs were very bad,they were almost completly brown. Bad maintenance from the previous owners Mad

.

Here is how they looked like but a lot worse. (googlepic)
