Bought this car in 2007 but circumstances meant it was confined to the garage for 8 years. started working on her in 2014 and thought id share my progress so far.


How she started off.

Stripped the front end off to fit the new cooler and get rd of all that gastly rust.

Dirty engine bay!

I had to move the horns and airbag sensor round the other side of the front bar to face the a/c rad. on a good note it all fitted without chopping anything off with a grinder and still kept the original washer bottle and front fogs BONUS

All bolted on nicely my two kids helped me do it ! getting them into the ways early

Looking pretty good IMO.

Got the kids to derust the battery tray and paint it ready to have the hole cut for the cold pipe.
