graphite grey rs1600i - flocked parts in 4/6/12
Having bought a partially restored 16i last year thought i would share some photos with you all. Car has been off the road for approx 10 years benefiting from rot removed and a full repaint.
Car was bought nearly complete, just needing finishing
Pics from previous owner during resto
Car then sat in storage while work commitments took over. Any way after buying a few things namely a new engine /wheels/ brakes etc i thought it was best to crack on.
Konis ready to be painted Sunburst red to match standard shocks
Engine removed ready for new one
Engine out
New engine in, think the rocker cover might need some modding
How its currently sat
More updates to follow.

Well had another day at it so suspension and brakes today.
First of remove all the old gear
Fit painted arms with proflex poly bushes with rebuilt rear hubs
New 4x4 cosworth calipers and discs at the rear
New 300mm discs and refurbed st170 calipers at the front
Will be running Braided hoses front to rear, need to get some pics
Underneath all sealed
Bit close to the wheel but they fit.
Hopefully more updates tomorrow

Not much of an update lately unfortunately. However as I couldn't get the 3 inch bore mongoose to sit correctly I decided to remove it and fit a 2.5 inch instead. So spent most of the day fitting it to sit correctly then heatwrapping the complete exhaust.
Also fitted my red and smoked tinted lights but not sure.

not really an update as such. Needed to get the car out for pics for the insurance company so thought it could do with a clean.
wash/ 1 coat of polish, 3 coats of wax and a coat of sealant later. Still need to finish the clean and the small matter fo getting it on the road.
