The car had been imported, driven for a few years and then laid up due to



All i knew about the car




Money changed hands and then a trailer dispatched to collect it.



It turned up and i was staggered at how not black it was



















Completely boggo apart from:

Blitz Nur Spec exhaust
Blitz Induction Kit
HKS Boost and Oil Temp Gauges
Rev 3 rear lights
White Gauges



I gave it a wash and then picked through what it needed:

Didnt have a battery
Flat Tyre
Seized NS Front Caliper
Faded paint
Mullered Aircon Radiator
Leaking T Bar
No Radio

So in the last month when I've had the chance I've done:

New Battery
Oil change
Coolant flush and Change

Refurbed caliper
Brake fluid replacement
PAS fluid swap

Silicone roof seal repair

After all of that it started, stopped and turned the way i think it should.



So down to the MOT man today and it bloody passed!!!


Few advisories but i've got a new tyre to match the new NS one and the fuel filter is being swapped out too.



Overheating was down to having massive airlocks in the coolant as they are a pain to bleed properly.



Tomorrow the big polish starts





So made the most of the nice weather and got outside to detail the car and get it looking a bit more loved.









Not bad advisories for a 22 year old car,










quick wash













JDM Yo! cleaned the interior and found some leftovers from 2004!







this was the state of the paint, faded, unloved and going to be a pig to sort

















first pass with the Das pro and some Menzerna























getting there






















all done and ready for the mechanical points on the MOT and a few bits painting sating black


difference from 6 weeks ago












got horrifically sunburnt but was totally worth it.




Unfortunately i have found out that the house we rent is sold and i have to move, the place we are moving too has no spare off street parking so the car is for sale


it really is awesome and so much fun to drive, just cant have two cars and dont think work would let me use this as the company car!
