on the weekend i picked up my first car with BenV. we went to stroud to pick it up and had a bit of a laugh with the suspension on the trip home :D

on picking the car up it was wet and the paint didn't look all that bad but as we have now discovered it going to need allot of cutting to bring it back to its former glory. took us nearly 2 hours to bring the bonnet back up lol.

today we got set on sorting out the really dodgy suspension setup with a set of D2 coilovers and a set of temporary alloys i borrowed from my brother.

comments welcome guys :thumbsup:

right this is what we started with

as you can see from these pics the red paint has lost its shine so i plan on cutting the paint to hopfully bring it back if not a new coat of red might be on the cards.

here's the difference n shock size :D

this has confused me slightly though as when i first looked up the ep80 gl it was down as a 999cc 4 speed but on picking her up its got a 5 speed box so im wondering wether is got the 1300cc 2e engine in it instead. any help on this would be much appreciated

So I've started to use some cutting compound to get some the red closer to it former glory.

and while i was out there i thought id take some pics of the cars conditions :D

The Right half had had cutting compound on it, the left un treated.

Looks real nice slammed! :D

What are your plans with it?

Thanks man :D

The boot lid got some bad ass rust on it

and doesn't look like it can be saved so im

planning on getting a GT boot for it.

also needs a new clutch and new rad so im going sort them before i

go to much into it.

i was just out there using some cutting compound on the roof

to get some colour back and i took some pic of the rust on the boot and the

the rad that is totally gone.
