I was just being polite by not saying 'ditch the magnolia hide!'

The black leather seats in my WRX SL were in amazing condition considering the age but a wipe over with the 'matched' Gliptone dye and they look brand spanking new now, and it's a doddle to use.

Gliptone is the way to go for a colour change as well.

Good luck with the project.

I would add all the belts & full cambelt kit, gearbox, diff oil and coolant,brake and power steering fluid to that too, fuel and air filters, after 7yrs standing I would change everything.

Also tell hubby he needs to pre fill the oil filter and disconnect the crank sensor under the alternator, turn it over 4 x 15 seconds to build oil pressure before re-connecting the crank sensor and then and only then fire it up, other wise you might be needing a new engine after a few hundred miles, also only use top quality fully synthetic oil, and shell V power or tesco momentum super unleaded fuel. and don't be revving the **** off it while it's cold.

I'd be inclined to Change the oil and filter. Remove the spark plugs and before you fit the new ones, Turn the engine over by hand with a spanner. It'll help to lubricate the bearings nice and slowly and you can check how it 'feels' before you fire it up.

As Ditchy said get all the belts changed.

scoobyloverx4

scoobyloverx4

Well ma girls engine being stripped down. She's started but knocking her head off and spoke to few people and all said lucky not bottom end it sounds like a shim so she's being stripped to see but boy what an *** getting cam belt cover off had to snap it. But also the cam belt bit loose so could be a tensioner loose. I will get this girl up and running proper if kills me .

Tidgy

empty the fuel tank before you try to start it, i expect it will need a new tank due to the water and crap inside it

doh, too late

scoobyloverx4

The tank is fine the oil didn't have water in it . The fuel stunk a bit but part from knocking the car is running smooth . Our mates mate and other people said they surprised how good the car is even tho been stud for 8 years they can't believe it. Lol

seventune

Looks like it's got the potential to be a very nice example with a few new bits.

scoobyloverx4

Lol no nothing that sick thankfully of was I wouldn't have even touched the car . . And I'd of hunted him down

But like said car runs sweet no miss fire no smoke no other noises just the tapping. So shall see for defo.
