As some of you know, I've been spending the last 5 years restoring my Mk5 RS2000 16v.
Here's a complete pictorial history of my restoration.

















This is how she looked when I first got her.







First started stripping the Almera bumper, Mk6 rear end and WRC.



Picked up Mk5 Bodykit and trial fitted.





Garage was a bit full!



Trial fitted morettes.



How true this was!



Stripped everything ready for a good check for rust.









Rear light surrounds and aviation fuel cap sorted.











Battery tray done.





Moved garages, it's still full tho!







Floor damage repaired.





Sills replaced.









Trial fitted Hottuning manifold.



Powder coated brakes and engine bits.











Fully serviced and fitted bonnet raisers.



Doors de-locked, boot de-wipered, ready for paint.





In the paint booth.











Going Frozen white.













Back in the garage again.











Smoothed bumper lines, trial fit front splitter.







Fitted snap-off steering wheel boss to 4 spoke wheel.



Aniversary stickers fitted (+15bhp!)



Rocker cover changed.



Lol, Garage still full of crap!



Final application of waxoyl and underseal.



Another new home.





Gauges fitted and dash carbon wrapped.









MOT time!









Finished engine bay.



Got the bumpers and skirts back from the bodyshop, this is how it is now.
Not going to say finished, but maybe 98%.







Even took it to some shows at the weekend.







Thanks for reading.
