My 10ae project (PICS)
Hey guys, I just thought I would let you guys in on my project. About a mounth or two ago I got a rolling shell 10ae with no glass, no interior, no engine+tranny, no rearend. I had a full mint red interior, I know the 10ae has the black leather interior, please dont bash me for putting in red interior. I had no other choice, plus Im glad I can get it to look like a car again. Also no badges, but I do have the vin and title, and its all clear. I cleaned the car up pretty good, as in engine bay and interior+glass. I have a motor thats going into it, with 25k reman from mazda. Im using a s5 hybird turbo, megan racing front mount intercooler, rtek 2.0 ecu, and a 12lbs flywheel. Im looking to hit a lil above 300whp. I also have all solid mounts all around the car, kyb struts, and new brake lines. I also have the crome fd wheels, even though I need wheel spacers and extended studs. I know this car is not 100% original 10ae, but I knew that if I didnt save it, it would have been a pop can somewhere in the US. I still need some parts, and I also have some for sale or even trade. This is not a wtb, or wtt thread, Im just letting you guys know I might need some parts. I thought this section would work out fine for me. Things I need later on down the road-
2 720cc injectors
12lbs or lighter flywheel
A good clutch street/race
Well enjoy the pics!!

hmm I thought that 10 ae's had white on the tails instead of black?
maybe those are just 10ae fenders?
otherwise it will still be a really cool project goodluck with it

more likely, it doesn't have the 10AE taillights anymore?
that project looks like a lot of work it'll pay off in the end so it's worth it..
save the 10AE's any way you can!

I have the vin plate thats goes in the engine bay, I took it out because I didnt know if I was going to paint the engine bay or not. Yes, it is a 10ae. There were no tail lights on it when i got it, it was just a shell...

Well the vin says it's a 10AE.... The burgandy interior is killing it for sure... I would put it back together with a black interior and all 10AE parts, because 10AE or not, it'll never bring a decent price with bodywork and a red interior... BUT it's still a 10AE if he does it right...

i would have dyed the interior black ..
theres a couple threads on here with peoples results with pics ... turned out really well ....
its alot cheaper than piecing together another black interior
