Hi guys,
I just bought a ek 4 for ek 9 conversion. But the car feels like it is falling apart as it rattles the heck off. Mostly from the back and the left rear seat belt area. Can anyone tell me where to start to fix all these rattling sounds?

try tightening all the bolts and see if parts are clipped in the area where the sound is coming from
start with easy things 1st

it is the interior trims. The chasis is pretty good.

if its interior trim get someone to sit in the back when you drive and point out where the rattle comes from..tighten any screws/bolts..if it still rattles put something behind it? like tissue or some foam,..shoul shut it up. :)
