More updates to follow ..........can't wait to get the SR decals back on

So off she went for an MOT failed on brakes few bulbs and emissions I knew she would it was just to make a proper list Brakes New discs and pads all-round calipers rebuilt and painted New brake drum shoes and handbrake cables both sides Emissions Basically just needed a full service new plugs and cat clean Re test then a straight pass not a single advisory Cars now rust free and mechanically spot on while it's was having mot the water pump cambelt and pulleys was all changed at the same time as they was long overdue after being sat so long

Thanks gents it's took a while don't get me wrong !

Thanks mate much appreciated

👏👏👏 love it glad this threads still alive and cars tip top condition

In the next few weeks- new brakes and cambelt MOT interior trims decals oem extras fitted

il let the results speak for themselves getting ever closer to the finish line

We then moved onto the underside all sheeted up surface rust ground back rust converter applied to be safe zinc primer and underseal this is a proper job and took a full week and was left to dry in the oven between coats

First time outside in a long while

After this all the cars outside was re assembled minus the decals trims etc shes still sat on the non refurbed wheels at this point the new ones still to be fitted

Been a long long time since i updated this on here as a few of you already know its been a very good few months of progress all the rest of the panels got the 1ao treatment

Looks awesome

Thanks honestly cost has mounted up a lot more than I budgeted but worth every penny to me and still a fair way to go

Also had the speedlines refurbed with new caps tyres and powdercoat

Lots more to do and no corners being cut

i also had the rear slam panel and sills and arch lips covered in raptor stone chip before the respray to prevent the rust happening again Original grey also sprayed inside of filler cap under bonnet boot area etc its the little things

As promised more pictures of the respray looks unreal to the eye the fresh 1ao silver really does have a nice ice blue in comparison to other silvers

Quick update this was a month ago .....more detailed updates and pictures to come the car has finally had a full respray

Things are quiet on here but a few still log on I'm about to update my build thread probably only me that reads it Fingers crossed for a new one

Same always mention it in the FB pages nobodys interested I'm sure is only me that reads my build thread

This is the glass from the JDM starlets with the UV glass it's etched into the corner it's in much better condition than mine so these will be going in You can really see the green unlike UK spec glass

Been cracking straight on with the filler and blending another once over is needed then its glass out and onto primer in next few weeks I do have some nearly new glanza green tinted UV optional extra glass with brand new windscreen to go in some updated pics attached

Good to see someone updating their builds few and far between keep up the good work mate
