Well I finally had my black RS 1600i delivered today. Its in a bad way but its going to get a full nut and bolt restoration. It is very origional with a lot of spares which I will sell off to fund the build such as a spare full interior, spare spoiler and spare front splitter.

It was a lot worse looking than this but while it was on the trailer I steam cleaned it to remove the green moss that it was covered in.

I would say from first inspection it will need

wings
front panel and cross member
inner and outer sills
rear panel
doors
bonnet
boot
repairs to the a pillars
scuttle panel


As you will see from the picture it has had a rear end shunt. This happened when it was sat on the previous owners mothers drive and she ran into it pushing it into the garage door and into his mint white 3 door that was sat in the garage

Hopefully Gaz from over the north east will be doing the work on the shell as he is well recommended.










Updates to follow

Some of you will have seen the ERST I restored a couple of years ago. This will be done to a much higher standard
