They were given a minimal amount of paint from what I've seen, they also don' have rear arch liners. So the mud and road grime sticks up there holding moisture.
The sills rot like they're made out of apples 😂 I did get another one and the sills on that were like a patchwork quilt.. Then I decided to race it on some private land and ended up rolling it which was fun.

The one on the left got rolled.. the one on the right just had the engine taken out and had an engine bay full of grime

Someone mentioned about the sport bumpers allowing for wider wheels. This is true. I bought some staggered 13" banded steels, and I intend to use some 25mm spacers with them on the rear, as in the future I will be getting a decent set of wheels.

Plan atm is to get it on the road as I still pay tax and insurance on it.

I got them back into shape, gave them a couple coats of high build primer and some engine enamel as they're only a temporary measure. They still look good.
They came with stretched tyres and would just fit the arch with the full width tyres ill be using, however they wont fit the lightweight wheels ill be getting in the future which will be 25mm wider. (Hence buying the spacers). So i decided to extend the rear by 50mm in total.

I cut where the bumper clips to the body, in order to retain the fixing points.




I'll come back to these a bit later once the spacers arrive.
