EXAMADNESS's project exa 2 - Got the engine!!!

Post by EXAMADNESS »

Got the body last week.

Here's some pics from when we got it :shock:

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

The only panalbeating needed on the entire body

Image

more

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image


Did some stripping

Image

Image

Image

A bit more stripping

Image

Image


Also took a closer look at the interior.

No rear wiper :(

Image

The dash still look good, no cracks or cutting :D

Image


This is prolly the nicest part of the car

The rear (interior)

Check out the upholstery, still looks like new :shock:

Rear seatbelts, my exa don't have these :(

Image

Image

Image

The front seats and door panals will be re-upholstered in the same semi leather ans grey material it is now, the interior will remain 100% stock :wink:

This project will take a while to complete, but you'll see this baby when she's finished :twisted:

:roll: looks like there's a bit of work ahead of me :wink:

Good one Robert, one shit load of frustration wasn't enough for you, you had to go and start it all over again. How much did this one set you back. Still didn't get that digital clock you've been pining over. Still here if you can find a cheap way of getting it over there.

Cheers mate, good luck.

South Africa spec perhaps? I noticed the other Langley EXA also has a split rear seat.

Yes, it has a split rear seat, the other exa too :D i thought they only came out like that. It could perhaps be South Africa spec, i dono. Do you guys have solid rear seats?

Did some more stripping :D

There's no need to have the front door panals re-upholstered, i just stripped it and gave the upholstery a clean.

Here's the pics, take a quess wich 1 is the before and after :lol: next up will be the rear panals and rear seats

Image

Image

Image

Yes, this is how dirty they were :shock:

Image

Stripped out the rear end, rear bumper, boot, and most of the interior.

:shock: the door upholstery panels were really dirty!

An E15ET would be a suitable engine for your second EXA. :wink:

I wish Nissan would have sold EXAs (NXs) over here... I would definitely want to own one beside my hatchback N12.

The e15et engine would be ideal, but they are very few around here, and if you can get 1 its gona cost :shock:

Ill drop in the e15s for now, play a little with sidedrafts and cams and see how it goes :wink:

I used multipurpose kitchen cleaner :lol: sprayed it on and left for about 2 hours, scrubbed it a little and hosed it off.

Didn't think it'll work, but as you can see, it looks like new :shock:
