Hope all goes well for ya.

As promised...
This morning I went to my Uncles Garage. We had it up on the ramp and had a good look and things seem a bit more positive now

The worse part which needs attention is the "Inner wings" I will be dropping this into my Uncles in a week or so. I have taken pics and will post these in the near future.

Slight work also needs to be done on the floor plan...but this is not as bad as I antisipated, I am still going to get this done though.

When I got back from my uncles garage my mates (Rob493 and his missus), Steve my temp banned from PF brother (SteveRS1980) and I stripped out the car ready for the work to be done. We removed the side skirts and bumpers, took out the carpets, interior and gash fans - who ever put that on there

I expected the worst when I took off the body kit and thought that the car would probably have rusted arches...but luck seems to now be on my side and it was all a'ok

Here are some pictures of us in action today...

Drivers side wheel arch off!


Front bumper off showing GASH fans!


Wing & Front!


James (JimRS) putting wheel back on!


Rear drivers side outta side sills!


And...again!

Front of RST without fans, MUCH BETTER!


Steve's (SteveRS1980) son Harry, AKA My nephew! cleaning floor pan for me!


Harry wanted to clean and mop up the floor pan, Rather him than me it was skanky!


Rob's 4x4 Sapphire Cossie in background!


I like to play cars (in & out in & out etc...)


Still doing the Bloody wheel!



Tomorrow we are going to be removing the engine and then it will be ready to go into the garage for the work to be done...will supply with more pics...lets hope that it is a bit warmer!!!

 

This car will look the b0ll0ks when its all done with no hidden suprises

 

thanks for the support mate. Things are finally looking positive for me now...

 

You'll get that sorted easily, to be honest it ain't nothing I wouldn't expect from a car that age or ANY S2 to be honest

It's the inner wing and front wing hanging off you need to sort, other stuff is just superficial mate

Looks a good solid car you have there, best D reg I have seen!!

 

Thats what I thought 2b honest

 

 

Hey Dizzee

 

must be

 

hey dizzy

 

 

Pleased for you mate.

 

good to hear your getting on with it now mate, it really dont
look that bad for a d reg

 

 

It'll be back on top form in no time at all. Keep the pics coming m8!

 

Dont you just love what the RS`s body kits can hide??

It really does not look to bad mate, nothing a bit of time and effort wont sort, atleast when you do it yourself you know its all been done right

Good luck

 

SEE!!

Its not that bad is it! Not like its falling to pieces or a "death trap" like your brother said the other day!

 

That looks like nothing to me mate, a couple of hours with a welder would sort that out, no problem at all.

Keep at it!

 

Day 2......
Started taking engine out today, Quite a tight fit with limited space Anyways took some piccys of the update so far..





LOOK...Stage 3 Hybrid Turbo and a -34 actuator







Steve (Left) Rob (Right) finaly got the headlight out Highlight of Robs day that was



So....the state of that engine doesnt seem like a rebuild to me Everything was screwed on baby tightness

Didnt bother taking rest of engine out because driveshaft is a pig disconnecting on the floor So....I'll get me uncle to do the rest Lifes so easier with a Ramp!

 

looks like she gonna be making a comeback fella . Good to see that you've decided to bring it back. What did the guy you bought it from say??
