Keep an eye on the UK general chat page as we're always looking to sort out meets.

As for your EK3 firstly we want pics and second what are your plans/goals have you got any other mods or just the body kit???

thanks for the welcome folks :)

well like i said ive only just got on the road and its my first car so im skint. i only managed to get it because the guy who owned it had reversed in to a lorry ( the rear bumper was held on with gaffer tape) and then dove over a curb at the front destroying the kit.

so my build will be a super low street RAT style affair

here's a few pics of how it was when i got it

then i changed the front wheels as they were dented so much one leaked air for 2 bbs 6 spokes i got cheep and painted matt black.

over the weekend me and a mate stripped the body kit off and repaired all holes and slits , then made new mounting brackets and painted the kit matt black as well as the 2 other rear alloys matt black to match the fronts and the kit. (pics too come)

and so far my plan over the next few months is as follows:

tilt spoiler and sticker bomb it
sticker bomb bonnett in black and white
new loud back box
custom painted mesh for front bumper
fit spot/fog lights in front bumper
bucket seats
custom boot install with sticker bombed false floor and home made swirl dipped sub boxes
tein tech S 25mmfront -15mm rear spring kit
limo tint rear 3 windows
remove rear wiper

plus any engine mods i can learn of that don't cost an arm and a leg.
