Mango's final inspection on body work.

Just come back from checking mango's work detail for the last time. Just to make sure there's no over shoot work or un-welded panel. The only additional panel which had been added is the reinforcement of the pan-hard rod's bracket.
This should make sure it won't bend or wobble during high-speed cruising.
Finally all the body widening panel was in place and blend-in with the body slim line~ hoho~

look at the arch from a nother angle. Only some minor adjustment remain and mango was expected to be picked up on friday afternoon~ 

T_T which means a few ~K~ of $ gonna be falling out of my wallet by then *_*

Mango getting a new bumper~

After looking all over the place for a good bumper for mango (my TE72) and with no success, Mcguyver suggest that i go for a newer alternative. We convert bumper from newer car. And this was he found for me.
A front bumper from AE86, Levin version. Perfect fit but had to do some minor body work to the fender to suite it.

And we drop of the bumper to the Lai body work to check on mango's progress,
i was happy to see that the actual work on mango had been started. and it was progressing well.
a lot of the old rusted panel had chopped out and replace with new metal plate which 'hack' with the original grove line.
more work done here~
and the new side skirt panel as well. all replaced and coated with special chemical i brought from a friends in ship yard.

After a long chat with Ah Lai and did a lot of changes to mango's body, we headed back to close my shop.
I'll be back to see mango with a few parts which needed to customize his body next week, so will update soon with more photos ^^.

mango check-ed in~

The first time i saw my naked mango in the morning light, he seems so miserable. I feel so sorry for letting him staying under the hot sun for so long - exposing his front chassis in the hot sun and rain T-T~ 

Finally i had time to pick him up and send him to 'hospital' to fix his wear-ed and torn body. 
hooking up to the tow truck (with a 'ke-po' indian child who we dunno who's watching dangerously close)
tie-ing up mango's axle to the support beam, so mango won't accidently fall off the support beam.
checking the steering lock and tie on the 'evo-style' side tow plate ^.^ 
on the way ... 
after 2 hours of slow drive (i ask my uncle to drive slowly, make me heart-ache listening to mango's cried going over hump and bad road surface on just two wheels...)

We drop mango off at Ah-lai - Lai Kian Spray Painting : Ah lai - +60164025519

The boss Ah Lai was a really good dude. (compare to his brother :P - just plain rude) he slowly discuss with me on what's suppose to be done to mango, as i wanted mango to be able to survive harsh track day condition. He give me some idea of places to strengthen and places needed rebuild and so. 

At least i had found someone who was willing to take mango in to work on the complex and time consuming re-work. 

Will update  soon after i finish building mango's fiber mudguard. ^.^ till then~ 

cheers~
