Think it is time i updated this as my car has had many looks from when it was ratlook

 

I decided to make it Japanese look when i bought my SSR fl-2 wheels from Japan 2 years ago and a delta mini exhaust was added also and some S2000 seats from a honda on custom frames 

 

Went from this 

 

 

To this in a few weeks 

 

 

Then A second hand spolier was added from Kent garage in japan just to finish off the look 

 

 

Then this year i decided to pull it all apart and fix all the rust issues i had with it. There was really any panels ever replaced on it since 1987 so it didnt do to bad at all 

 

January this year it was rolled into the garage and strip down begun 

 

Panels to be replaced is a long list 

 

New genuine front panel

New genuine wing

genuine A panel

Genuine door skin

Genuine sill 

Non genuine scuttle

Non genuine door steps both sides

Non genuine inner sills 

Repairs under the side windows

Repairs under the back window

Repairs to the 1/4 panels

Repairs to the Floor

Repairs to the front inner wings
