I've always liked seeing how some cars are kept unbelievably tidy. It's almost like they were stuck in a time capsule.

Let's see those low mileage, fully restored, concours condition or just incredibly mint cars. I'm sure there are a few of you here.

So whip off those car covers and show off your garage queens!

 

Not a Subaru but here is my very clean rubber bumpered Midget.

 

Nice!

 

Gotta still love those.

 

on bbs rs alloys now

 

Nearly but not quite yet

 

Waiting for yours now Simon.

 

You`ve already seen mine Errol, Not quite a classic yet

 

Post up some of your best shots Gaz. May not be a classic just yet, but definitely falls into the 'incredibly tidy' category.

 

Just seen the enlarged pictures. That looks like it just rolled off the factory line.

Very nice Golf you got there rsdub.

 

Original hill man super minx done 46k gone though all mots only needed a radiator and rear exhaust pipe

 

thank you.just sold it this week.was very gut wrenching seeing it go from my house

 

Keep them coming chaps. Some great looking classics so far.

Are there that few minters on here?

 

Sorry Errol I forgot to revisit this one

First outing after the build.....



And during assembly.....























Sorry Errol I could not resist that

 

Wow that is insanely clean!!

 

Where are the after pics Si ?

 

Once my S202 comes back from having a full service and TLC I'm hoping it'll be good enough to grace this thread properly.

In the meantime here are some pics before it left Japan.





And a couple of it after it arrived in the UK.









It's is unbelievably good condition for an 11 year old car, the non standard side reflectors and side repeater lamps are being swopped out for the original orange items.

The drivers side mirror for some unknown reason has a Blobeye mirror fitted so that's being changed for a Bugeye item, and it's having a few minor paintwork issues addressed.

All the chassis and suspension bushes are being swopped out for SuperPro polyurethane items, any removed subframe/chassis metalwork will be cleaned and freshly powder coated to keep the underside fresh.

It'll then be freshly undersealed ready for next year's show season, oh and the interior is like brand new as well - no marks, burns, scratches or damage to be found inside the cabin.

 

And yes I did pinch some of my ideas from Simon.

 

Here you are Stu

 

Pleased to help Ty

 

I just hope my car ends up 80% as good as yours, if it does then I'll be a very happy man.

 

You'll be there Ty.... What are you doing in the wheel arches themselves will you be doing a nice fresh coat of blue and just sealing the underside ? I think that would look great.

 

My Fresh built track car does that count?

 

I'm not sure yet Simon, from memory the inner wheel arches are in excellent condition it doesn't look like they've ever seen any road salt etc.
.
If they need doing they'll get done without hesitation but I'm fairly sure it'll just have a fresh underseal.

I'll be leaving that decision to the expert.

 

Registered December 2004, 1 owner, now done 17k miles




Registered June 1967, 2 owners, now done 86k miles

 

43K on the clock, is that low?

 

Very low! Looks like it's been tastefully upgraded as well. What's the spec on it?

 

Very nice pair of cars there 67FB. With so little miles done per year, bet you don't remember how they drive everything you start them up.

 

I would consider how i will be using the car before i decide on the type of underseal Ty.

If you're going to be showing it off at shows, but also using it as intended, occasional track day, backroad dash etc, then i think all you need is one of those overpaintable stonechip. You can then paint over in body colour and the archs will look brand new.

The regular JDM STIs come like that from the factory.

It is nicer like that in my opinion than say slapping on waxoyl; which may probably offer better protection if you are intending to drive it during winter, or want to something that you apply and forget about it.

 

I just love the 1st picture. Everything looks orignal and new. It looks like the car was stuck in a time capsule.

I've never seen a bonnet latch looking like that! Don't close the bonnet Si, you'll damage the plating.
