I never bought it 😆😆😆

Yeah but you knew about it 😂

Wow looks awesome mate not mentioned it before but the wheels look perfect 

One was on sale on here for ages struggled to fetch 5 grand I belive

great cars though really go under the radar for those not in the know

Thanks lads that's it for a while now just a couple smaller items to swap then order some decent tyres 

The journey around the country continues picked up a set of replacement glass as one of mine is badly scratched and since the glass is coming out for the respray may aswell replace them with a full set as they have age related marks on them also picked up a optional extra that compliments the oem head unit

Passenger window is slow so also picked up a great  condition replacement 

Good call so much effort going into a car you randomly ended up with 🤝

Thanks lads the amount of driving up and down the country I've done is frightening 

Also got myself this fuel tank I can't express how immaculate it is its dust on the tank in the pictures unsure wether to fit it while the cars being done underneath or wait till the current one gives up the ghost 

Also the  tte lip is back from being repaired at the fibre glass place and has been reinforced on the corners to aid fitting and add strength 

Also some nice darker plastics very hard to get a full set inc the rear, boot compartment door sills glovebox basically a full set the parts he has up for sale arnt your usual rubbish and well cared for items 

Picked up some nice oem mats of siwfc not the usual green colour but a really nice grey

I've seen this in person so can vouch for it  honestly you won't find better 

Spent yesterday evening collecting some mats blown away with the condition  won't find a better set ended up buying a lot more than I went for everything was as new seriously if you see he has a part you need it's worth the journey priced very fairly genuine seller too many people getting silly with prices his items are worth his asking price 

Thanks 

Been across to pick some bits from siwfc today and saw these parts / panels in person.... Belive me he could ask alot more than he's asking it's not your usual crap on facebook genuine guy these will be gone in no time at all

Need to shoot over again Jase and see all the progress crash bar looks perfect mate 

Looking good Jase

A uk model with air con nice 😎. I bet u can’t wait to get it back now. Only just seen the updates or I’d have sent u condenser foc mate let me know if u need anything else happy to help 👍

Yeah I got really lucky with the AC was the first SR looked at,

at first I just assumed they all had ac after a few months I realised they didn't thank you regarding  the offer of any other bits that's very kind 

Yeah I'm really looking forward to getting it back shame it will be over winter 

How's yours been running since its  map

The second hand ac condenser arrived yesterday other than slight oxidation and spiders webs it's in great condition and at less than the 3rd of the price of a new one I'm really happy sometimes common sense takes priority and at 300 plus vat for a new one was a no brainer 

Another part ticked off the ever growing list 

Great news il look forward to the updates Sam 

This week the bodyshop managed to split the lip from the bumper there was absolutely no way I was doing this for fear of snapping it 

Now it can go on my own silver bumper

Great attention to detail mate, she'll be amazing when it's finished. A true step back in time for you and the SR.

Approved 

It really will mate the help off here has been amazing whether it be advice or the parts I've been offered 

Also as most will be aware the 98 spec rear bench fits different to the UK spec one to my surprise you can still get the jdm clips to secure it down from Toyota! 

I dropped it off at the garage for a quick mock up and I love it 

Overall its been a good few months shame the car wasn't ready for the summer but its been a blessing in disguise as I'd given up any hope of finding a lip
