right where to start my rs has been looking a bid sad after the winter and due to the turbo going in january i pulled it off the road my intentions where initally to just put a new turbo on and carry on enjoing the car. anyways on starting to remove things i became curious to the state of the car. underneath the car is mint has only been welded once by the drivers seat mounting point the car used to be concours by the previous owner but sadly its age is setting in. me and my freind who owns a local bodyshop have set about starting work on the car. first step was to take the engine out and get that rebuilt whilst the bodywork is underway

anyways heres what ive found so far

original Battery tray still solid just needs cleaning up and painting

drivers rear arch gone quite bad but easily solved


passenger rear arch just as bad as drivers lol amazing what the trims hide lol

both sills are new already


rear wheel well is mint just going to have it repainted
