Before and after
Nearly 2 years ago I bought this as a project.
Luckily it didn't scrub up too bad but there was a lot of work to be done.
The inside didn't look quite as nice though
It was a little off putting to say the least.
Now after nearly 2 years of hard work it is about where I want it
It's had a complete respray and last week I fitted a new front bumper and a couple of months ago I changed it to stage 3 with a T34 turbo, dark greens, pace rs 500 spec intercooler etc There are still a few niggly jobs left to do but I am happy to say this is how I want it now
I spent a whole afternoon the other week with a mates VAX cleaning the interior It came up like new, I need a couple of new bolsters but they are cheap off of ebay
The exhaust still needs lining up but a friend of mine is going to take it to his work one day and line it up on his ramp I think I'll get him to heat wrap as much of it as he can because I still have a huge roll of heat wrap in my garage
The new intercooler is quite large
So that is the story so far I hope you like it.

Looks lovely mate, a real credit! The only thing i'd do though is just chop the rolled lip off the tail pipe so the exhaust looks standard too! For me, that would finish it off!!

I'm hoping that when my mate takes it off to align it he wraps the whole thing lol.
