Meet the new Boss, just like the old Boss !
After this happened a few weeks ago
https://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-...ter-crash.html It was time to get a replacement and as the insurance company decided to be very generous :D, in their payout , it gave me the ability to replace the rust bucket that was the last scooby and find a better one. Now having a) no imagination when it comes to colour and b) I love the classics, I was on the lookout for a similar one. Little did I realise that one would turn up, not only local to me but exactly the same as the last one :lol1: So quick test drive and bought it within a week :thumb: It is absolute mint, would never believe it was a UK classic :luxhello:, came with a ton of goodies already on it and a straight clean example. I have a ton of stuff to go on it that I had removed from the damaged scooby so over the next few months I will be carefully transplanting this on. In the meantime it has had nothing but a radiator (swap) and strut brace. I also refreshed and painted the intercooler and fitted that. So some pictures :thumb: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...8bf699b3c4.jpg Sonic the scooby https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...5f64bd1348.jpg Sonic https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b6c3af63db.jpg Better than the last scooby especially from here ! https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...ac5bf3830a.jpg Mint OZ Racing Superleggera https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...bd0f66ec7c.jpg Old Sti radiator https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...2ca43498e3.jpg scabby paintwork https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d3570ca220.jpg needs a paint https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b2fc79062c.jpg and fins need fixing https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...7307a9e178.jpg Masked, etch primer and silver paint https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...a6c44f77b5.jpg Masked, etch primer and silver paint https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...1ebd291d2b.jpg Masked, etch primer and silver paint https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...6da23ae984.jpg All clean and top rail polished https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...7df0a46558.jpg All clean and top rail polished https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...f5decb205c.jpg All clean and top rail polished https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...0462df7f58.jpg sides all done as well https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...d7ac29ef4e.jpg Engine needs a clean but some parts already fitted https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...b2c8b3a618.jpg Clean intercooler with new pipework and hoses |

The first comment is not even about the car :D I shall try to get some pictures near the car next time :thumb: |
That's brilliant, really glad it's worked out for you in the end. Car looks mint :)
|
I spy with my little eye, something beginning with Type R. ;)
Looking good Chris. :thumb: |

Looks tidy that!
I had a UK2000 in DBM few years back, and have to say in the sun that colour is amazing. |

Even though it is pretty sorted already I cant resist by adding a few of my own touches so over the next few months the following jobs are planned :
Suspension Already has Tein loweing springs all round so a whiteline rear anti roll ball will be sand blasted and painted and fitted Uprated drop links all round Sti Alloy Wishbone arms Might have a look at refreshing bushes as well Exhaust Already fitted the decat downpipe which was wrapped, centre sectiona dn Blitz Nur Spec so the noise is back :D Interior It has a pretty decent stereo but my Apline is better so that is going in, normal hands free kit etc. Discovered the speakers have been uprated front and back so that saves me a job. Interior swapped from other scooby as that was cleaner. Sill guards from my sport Transmission Have a short shift in the garage so that is going on Lighting It has a full crystal pack so have done the side repeaters . Just need some Sti rear lights as mine got damaged in the crash :( Exterior Body panels are mint so only need to replace the bonnet as it has a few chips and luckily I have a mint one tucked away :thumb: P1 splitter will go on, either in gloss black or colour coded. Not sure on that yet ? Mud flaps I just received from Scoobyworld on the GB Obviously I cant go without my trusty sun strip and SwissTony names ;) Finally some window tinting is on the cards Braking It already has 4 pots on the front and the rears have been painted but I do want my red 4 pots back and maybe some rear 2 pots if budget allows Braided hoses as well Wheels Well as you can see the OZ racing ones are mint and dont need anything apart from centres and I have a set of Speedline ST2 spare but they are only 16" Engine This is where I will go to town and start my restoration project up again. The engine bay is no way as bad as the last one but it still needs a bit of Swiss TLC :thumb: CDF pulley set will go in and then as budget allows (as always) it is time for some power and I would like a VF34-5 at some point, remap and happy days :norty: |

I only just noticed you made an edit to my post you cheeky monkey !! Trying to spend my money I see :lol1: |
Still no pics of Mrs Swiss. :(
I suppose the car looks alright but I'd much rather see her, any chance you could send her out to wash it and get some sneaky pics. :D |
Just for you bunch of pervs here is Mrs Swiss playing with her pussy
Happy now ? lets get back to discussing the car :thumb:;) https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...05ed421305.jpg |

I did indeed . Were you the guy he was talking about that was coming to see it later that week ? if so sorry I got in there first but as it was only about 3 miles from where I live I did have a bit of a head start on you :) If you are looking for DBM then good luck as they are bloody hard to come by, well ones in good nick There is one on autotrader £2600 but cant really see how good it is as the photos are crap |
No worries! By the time I got round to calling you'd already snapped it up. They seem to get some nice classics there - they've got a really smart wagon at the moment, but I'm really after another saloon.
Looks like you've got a good one though - it reminds me of my old one! |
I was lucky as these are getting rarer by the day, but yes Terry does get some good ones in. He spends his time going around the country trying to find decent ones so worth keeping an eye out. Also if your budget can stretch, look at Max at Hursts cars in Bedford. Mostly imports but boy does he get good ones, not cheap but fresh off the boat

very nice
although that lock of hair could do with moving out of the way |
Great picture of me the .boss . And her pussy
Going to be a great thread as you have some great plans for it |

Mudflaps- Fathers Day present so roped in the ankle biters to help and on they went. Luckily it seems the car had them on in the past so no need to drill any holes :D
Attachment 46348 Attachment 46349 http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...psjjfcg71k.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...pszg0bqnel.jpg The noise has returned :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/09...psodynyz1u.jpg |
Looks tidy, a set of STi rear lights and a Version 6 STi splitter would finish this car off. I even prefer the mid level spoiler!!:luvlove:
|
Cheers mate,
Had a set of Sti lights on my last one that sadly got smashed so on the look out for a set but they are going for silly money at the minute. The splitter will be P1 I think from HT Autos and colour coded or maybe gloss black, have not decided yet. I like the look of the P1 splitter, always have done. The rest is coming along as time allows :thumb: |
Lovely bit of kit.Cars not half bad either lol
|
And so it continues, excellent :thumb:

After that I can always pop down to FB Tuning and ask rich to help out but the list will slowly dwindle |

Busy day yesterday
My brother in law came round with his Golf GTi MK5 as he had a list of jobs to do so thought we would combine his jobs with mine His headlights were badly clouded and marked. A common fault it seems with these models so I got out the polishing tools. This needed wet and dry 1200 grit as well as it was so badly marked Before Attachment 45941 After Attachment 45942 We also replaced his entire exhaust system to a Miltek version and in the process smashed up the cat (cold weather section) so it sounded better and improved the BHP Attachment 45943 Attachment 45944 After all that is was time for a little work on my scooby. As the front discs had warped and were badly corroded on the rears, it was time for a replacement. So in prep, I got some Pagid Disks, pads and some great braided hoses from the GB on here. God this is a messy job as once those brake lines come off, it is a case of working fast as the bloody fluid goes everywhere ! Before. You can see the old disks and original callipers together with standard hoses. Attachment 45945 Attachment 45946 and all changed . Used my callipers from my previous scooby as they were in better condition Attachment 45947 Attachment 45948 Attachment 45949 Still have the rear brake hoses to replace and handbrake shoes to swap out. and tons of other jobs !! :thumb: |
