Blue V3 Type R restoration project
 

So I've decided to take on another Type R project.

Very straight car, with a few age related dings, but that's easily enough solved.

The cars in about a million pieces and missing an engine, but I plan on using my engine from my white V3 Type R after a refresh.

A few snaps

The plan for this one is to either maintain or return to absolute stock, as the car only had a mix of 70k of KMs and miles.

First job was to reinstate some proper STI rear tail lights

Thought you wanted to do a version 2 next :D

So what's the plan with this one ? I read your last build thread and that car looked stunning after you'd finished ?:thumb:

That's not even finished yet, far from it to be honest. But this came up and at the right price, and with a spare engine coming up from correct year it made sense.

Plan is to completely restore to a mint but original state.


Saying that if a V2 RA pops up then that'll go in the queue too lol.

I love Type R's...Will follow the thread with interest!

I'll be watching this one closely :thumb:

Ya greedy fecker having x2 R's those Ap calipers are the ones im buying for my type r be watching this thread to see what gets done .
