Ok this is where it all started, I got the car from a mate in about 2001. To be honest it was fooked! It had to massive holes in the front floor pans, paint work was bolloxed,it had drum brakes all round and had next to no interior. The car started life as a 1300L and allthough it was a bit rotton, the backend was well solid aswell as all the chassis






These pics are just before it went in to get the rot done and a cheap respray

heres a few of the car in the bodyshop ready for paint







and after............

Anytime mate, nothing special, just a chipped (I think ) Silver S3, 2001 on Y plate, probably worth about Ł12k and if you see it there's a big 'For Sale' sign on the back with my mobile number 07834 152 166

This is not a 'For Sale' post by the way, cos Im not allowed to do that

 

 

NEXT BIT

this is when I got it home after all my sweet and blood had done its bit.

Its was still a 1.3L at the time but I had a 1.7L in stock ready to go, so that was the next thing to do.

September 2004...................



Car was looking good on the outside but you could see the road through the passenger floor pan and the crack in one of the top suspention plate was getting bigger!!!

So I decided to have the hole front end done, from the front floor pans to the sills, transmission tunnel, top plates, wing rails, RS wings and some other bits.

I didnt get many pics for some reason






I had it resprayed aswell (same colour) heres when I got it back and started rebuilding.........






And finished, ahh t'was a long day......










I didnt think the car was quite there untill I bought a set of 7"/13" superlites............

I couldnt belive the differance it made....


STILL MY FAVE PIC EVER



All was good and car was going pukka untill one nite on the way home from the kent RS meet. I was chasing me bro down the A20, somthing didnt feel right so I backed off and behind there was death smoke everywhere

Not to sure what was wrong we nursed it to the garage. I took the head head off the next day and...........................





yep number 3 piston melted
This pissed me off so bad I decided to go buy a pinto. I went to Escortec and bought a 2.0l pinto (205 block) with the RS alloy sump, engine mounts and a fast road cam. Since I put this in I have had no probs, its the bollox .

Thats about it, up to date. Ive got loads of plans for over the winter and will post up my progress

Heres a few more pics of the car in action,






hope everyone enjoys, thanks for looking and any questions please ask
