Reviving KP30 : Goodies Pt 4

For the year 2011, nothing much happen and the progress is quite slow. This is the time I did a full research on how Im going to built this car and preparing my budget and planning to achieve my goal. At the same time, I gather some parts that I need to complete my project. I bought my KP31 XL front grille and headlamp housing from the local scrap yard, and my rear tail lights from CHACHA racing family Japan.
But, due to some missed communication between Kouji of CHACHA racing family and me, he assume that I didnt pay for the goods that I get from him, which I already done the transaction a year ago. No emails replied from him but instead he posted in the Speedhunters saying that Im a Liar and did not pay for the goods and desire me to strip off the stickers that he gave to me.
I felt really disappointed for the action he made although I have done the payment. I am a professional and I pay for the things that I want. I wont deal anything if I have no money for it. And to Mr Kouji, I will not have the problem to pay for the tail lamp once again.

Two years missing, no updates, no pics, but it doesnt mean that I stop building my KP30. Due to time constraint, and my addiction to Iphone, which for the time being I search anything that I need through it, makes myself rarely lay my hands on my laptop.
So for the quick update, I did my research and collect the parts that I need, and done some small restorations and suspension upgrades to my KP30. I have started to learn and to do almost everything by myself except for parts that need to be send to the machine shops and the bodywork. As like any budget car builders out there, cost is always the factor and what we concern the most, that leads us to show some effort and built the project on our own.
Im going to post in detail on everything that I did for the past 2 years but before that, here is a little preview on what I have achieved.
