Hi,
I bought my N/A FC a few months ago and will be re-furbing it over the next few months. Pretty clean car with bits of rust in the usual places (floor pan / inner sill).
Nice to meet you all!

 

welcome.

don't all cars in the UK have bits of rust in various places?

what will you be refurbing?

 

Yeah pretty much, most come with rust as an optional extra from the factory!!!

Well the guy I bought it from tried to remove the air pump, failed, then left the car to rot for the next 2 years! I've just removed the exhaust (header back) to find some of the worst bodging / mutilation of an aftermarket system I have ever seen, shitty chassis rails and bad rust under the drivers footwell area.
The brake discs are badly worn all round and I dont even want to look at the pads!

So once I've sorted emmissions removal and a new header / down-pipe from Racing beat, done a complete engine re-fresh (not internals), I'll set to work on the crusty parts. Once they're completed, Tax, Insurance and MOT then .



How many icons do you guys have!?!

 

hey man goodluck with your car.. any pictures?
