I picked this up last Wednesday (25/03/15) looking like this:
So far, I have changed the brakes and given it a service and driven it a bit, handled like a boat so put my old coilovers on. Unfortunately they are shot, but on the plus side my new coilovers and polybushes turned up today so they will be getting fitted tomorrow provided its not raining.
Plans aren't very extensive with this at the moment as not fussed about power, but have a list I want to get done rather sharpish (want to get as much done over the bank holiday, but got a wedding to go to Saturday which will scupper some plans).
Plans so far are to:
Fit coilovers and polybushes
Fix rust
Spray and fit sideskirts (to replace existing ebolaids skirts) and front bumper lip (cheers battscrxvti)
Spray and fit jdm rear panel thing (cheers solrider1985)
Fit new intake to replace ebay rubbish
Fit tyres to other wheels and put on car
Enjoy driving
Track it
General tidy up as and when
I want this car to handle well, so I have gone against my preferred choice of dishy wheels for a set of one of my favourite designs which also happen to be quite lightweight for the size (might be going against the purists, but the replacement wheels are 17").
I plan on keeping this updated so that I can keep track of what I have done, so with that in mind, updates and pics to follow over the weekend.
Cheers for reading so far and if anyone has any suggestions (or would like to do all the work instead of me),please let me know.
