A little background, I brought the car in jan 09 just after my father passed away. I needed something to focus on and with my dad being the reason im into cars, it seemed fitting to do this. Could say I did it for him.

Now the car, Its a 96 2000 turbo. my mate who had the car did some engine work and tells my shes sitting around 325bhp. Certainly goes like it. After that he sold it to another friend who just made a mess of her externally.

The day i Picked her up. not the best pic but shes full of dents, scratches, in need of two new wings, boot lid and yes that is an evo spoiler on the back.



Work begins..






After a few weeks...







And the present...







Shes not finished just yet. I changing the wheels to Rota Gtr's and thinking about have some arches from ABW. Not sure what do on the inside i may strip it and go for show on the outside and race on the inside. Well will see though.

cracking job so far, I do like the cut of the rear bumper...crying out for a diffuser of sorts

DanAmo

Thank you mate.

Funny you should say that mate, because I have been thinking about getting one for it. Will have a look at ht auto's.

time for some wallet bashing then...I've had a HT Auto diffuser for 18months now must get it fitted

DanAmo

A major wallet bashing mate, I was involved in a bit of a fender bender on good friday. Purely cosmetic but new lights (all the front ones), Grill, Bonnet and Bumper.

So I am going to facelift it at the front, apart from the bumper.

Time to get my hands dirty....AGAIN

Facelifting it will make the world of difference . Make sure you get the crystal headlights, you'll find you can actually see when it goes dark
