Bought this scooby the other week from sheffield sports salvage with light damage. Its a 97 uk car turbo 2000.

Had a few jobs to do before i could start the car as 2 of the 4 cam pulleys were broken. First had to order 2 new pulleys and a new cambelt. I fitted these and it started up right away (well as soon as i sussed out how to turn the immobilliser off) Now running i started to replace all the front panels.

had a list of parts to replace;

Bonnet. Done
wings x2. Done
wheel x1. Done
slam panel. Done
headlight panel x2. Done
bottom cross member. Done
center support bar. Done
n/s headlight
n/s sidelight
n/s indicator
front bumper
rear bumper
exhaust center section. Done
exhaust back box. Done
lamda sensor. Done
air filter
cam pulleys x2. Done
cam belt Done
bumper support bar

also had to weld an extra 2inch to the gear stick cos sum twat decided to cut it so short it was almost impossible to chage gear. Also had to remove about 20 metres of wiring from a neon kit that was fitted and tidy up the inside abit.











Got stuck in as soon as it was delivered this was after about an hour




then after bout 2 hours all the front panel removed.



Got on the phone and placed an order for the panels and started as soon as they arrived





All front panels now fitted and seam sealed and painted.











Bonnet and wings just bolted on to ensure right fit and there very good. Will be painting the rest next week i hope still need to get a new front bumper but all other parts are here waiting to fit.

 

looking good

 

Love it m8 how much did ya pay for her?

 

 

Cheers guys.


Once finished it will have set me back bout Ł2300-2400 only because im doing all the work my self. That includes the car and all th parts + paint ect

 

I thought you meant Ł2,300 for parts! Great work!!

 

lol fuck no Ł2300 all in

 

it looking good

 

good work matey keep it up.

 

Ive now got a replacement wheel for the missing 1 but had to settle for a black 1 but its now painted will put sum more pics up later this week.

Finally sorced a front bumper from ebay so waiting for that to arrive now and going to pick up the replacement rear one on friday i think.

Still need to get a headlight sidelight and a pair of indicators but i can them any time quite cheap.

going to be painting some of the panels this week after ive sorted out my shit heap of a garage (cant even see the floor for car parts so a trip to dump is in order i think)

 

Ok last 2 days ive got most of the parts painted and a few fitted heres some pics.











Just when i started to spray the first panel the gun decided it had had enough so had to buy a new 1 so bought this twin pack from Kestral Top feeder and suction.





Nice guns easy to use.

I also decide to respray the bootlid and spoiler cos the last ownder had left loads of sealent on it and plenty of scratches.







Fitted a few of the panels back on but need new hinges and bumper bars b4 the bonnet and bumpers can go back on.

Boot and spoiler back on





And the wings





Spent bout 3-4 hour yesterday compounding the rest of the body with G3 and giving it a good polish to make sure the new paint doent look out of place. Doesnt look bad but the new panels still need flatting and buffing yet.

 

 

Cheers bud

 

Nice one mate good to see you doing it rather then just going to ScoobyClinic.

Whats the plans for it?

Good work mate keep it up

 

Cheers again. Got a bit more done rear bumper is now on and ive got a few new parts but STILL waiting for the front bumper to arrive.

Been looking at some other damaged cars latley and thinking of buying a shitter to drive bout in and do a few cars up to make a bit of cash. Looking a S1 elise and a vx220 at the moment.

Wish me luck

 

Small update car is now more or less done bar a few parts but they can be put on any time.

Finially got a front bumper and sprayed it





and ive resprayed the bonnet because of a run i got in it the first time



Front bumper and bonnet now fitted



and all the front complete except the grill and spots.



All more or less done





are lass getting sum elbow grease in



In the last 2 weeks ive also sprayed and had a new tyre fitted to on of the rims and replaced one of the other tyres.
Also bought a new headlight side repeaters and front indicators, Fitted new discs and Red stuff brake pads and fitted new speakes and a stereo as it didnt have any.

Dropped off the VIC form today so just waiting for my appointment to come through now.

 

 

LOVE IT

nice gravity spray gun mate

 

Cheers lads

 

well done mate,done a really good job on it

 

Thanks

 

Wish i had the skills to do sumin like that

Looks like a top job

Shockingly good value aswell

 

Cheers. had a few prob's when putting new front panels on because they were patern parts and not subaru 1's i had to do odd ajustments to make sure they fitted good but apart from that everything has gone great all in its cost about Ł2400-2500 including the car. Uk turbo 2000's go for about Ł4000ish on a P plate seen a few a bit cheaper but if i sell this i'll still make a little profit, and might actually be selling very soon as my boss is interested in going in on halfs on a damaged Elise or vx220 as a project to start making a bit of decent cash profit.

 

looks spot on

 

Good work.

Wish i could do this to make some money on the side - nice one

 

Right the scoob is now MOT'd and tax'd and the VIC cheack has been done so its on the road now. Need to get a new front fog but thats all. will put sum more pics up this weekend when its been cleaned and had a polish.

 

Spot on, Well done
