Smile Another rear end resto and floor (FINISHED!!!!)Gold cup winner 2009

This car belongs to a mate of mine which i done some work on late last year a bit of tuning 347bhp on greens so a big thanks to Stu at MSD

He has decided to freshen up the rear end but i'm asking myself WHY
As its in really good condition and even all the nasty fuel tank bolts and anti roll bar bolts came out also NO rot only a few little spots of surface

I will let the pics do the talking















Now if only my saff was this nice
Will update as i go

Paul

your getting the IMG tag's wrong mate

you gotta host them like this [img]>pic here<[img] not like img>pic<img

just copy the 2nd link of each photo from photobucket then post it, much cheaper as it will be already done with the [IMG] tag's

can always email them to me & il host

I understand what u mean cars which have load of stonechip/underbody on them usually means they have had loads of welding repairs or just covering up rust

No m8 think he got it when it was 4 years old then sprayed the underside with old sump oil which has helped it last

Cleaned fuel and brake pipes today along with the passenger side floor its a mucky job but very rewarding as you can imagineI'm used to working on mucky old rusty classics so this really is a treat
