OK, here we go well some of you may know that my car has been off the road for the past few months since the end of the summer show season. I decided I wanted to "tidy up" the underside on the car. Now I am no bufty, I wish my car was like some of the mint s2's on here But, I just wanted it to be a bit cleaner and add some colour to the underneath! So, in true d.i.y fashion all done by myself (and far from finished!!! ) I have slowly been taking the car apart (to a point where I feel comfortable) and learning a lot whilst I go along I have some pictures to share with you lot.....

I will just say, yes I know it aint nothing compared to some other undersides, and I should have power coated this and properly painted that, as I say I aint entering it for concourse, just a tidy up, so enjoy what I have done so far, constructive comments welcome!

I'll try and keep this page updated as and when, to be honest I dont think it is going to be complete for next summer (I work very slowly) and it is a case of funding things too When it is eventually finished I plan to start my engine build

Anyway, enough talk..... I have made the pics a decent size so should be fairly 56k friendly.....enjoy.

This is pretty much where I am up to now. Nothing more will be done now till the new year. (Apart from another coat underneath) Next thing on the shopping list is a cossie rear disk setup from the Zoo And then with a few more hours getting a few niggly bits sorted then I can start putting the rear suspension back together and get all the rear done. I then plan to pull the car out and spin it round and dissemble the front end including dropping the engine and box etc (will be calling for mates help I think ) and the front end will be cleaned, painted and polybushed at the same time I will clean the bay up a bit, although it is pretty sound already

Will try to keep things updated as often as possible but I work slow so they wont be coming fast That lot is about 2 months worth of 2 or 3 nights a week for a couple hours

Cheers
