Default MY 2WD SAFF RESTORATION ( updated 05/03/05 )

decided in april that i wanted to bring the paint work to the best condition possible although it wasnt rotten there was a few marks and scratches, and the bootlid had bubbled up under the spoiler so i decided to take it off the road and sort it out.

the worst place for rust was the bootlid i was very suprised to find no horror stories after stripping the car down


once in the paintshop it had a few repairs to dings and imperfections that i wasnt happy with



these pics were taken as it left the spray booth

my living room was starting to reseemble a spares shop with all of the new bits that were going on the car


i decided to get the bumper bars cut out to aid the cooling to the 500 intercooler
and add the rs500 style splitter

unfortunatly after it was all fitted back up and i had it back for a week i notivced some blisters around the doors edges it had suffered a paint reaction so it had to go in again

so we took the oppurtunity of stripping the bay down and getting that freshened up too


whilst all this was happening tracey and i took the oppurtunity to build a install


here are some pics of the car as it is now well worth all of the hard work




a massive massive thanks to supreme motor bodies particulary pat,thanks to tracey for her help and understanding,and scott for his help

future plans to include the underneath will get some attention i havent decided weather to go full bufty or not yet,i have a big hi spec disc conversion in the bedroom awaiting fittment and a few other bits and bobs.

had the middle box removed on the mongoose today as it kept hitting the floor under acceleration

the wheels have gone to be refurbed and powder coated going for a different look with them

hopefully getting the brakes fitted in the next couple of weeks also
