now back to the dilemma of whether or not to buy this oil catch tank

_________________

well im getting an xr2i kit tommorow for it, just got 2 take the arch spats and bump strips off it, gona do it this evening i think.

then got 2 put it into a bodyshop to have:

1 arch welded and sprayed
1 arch sprayed
corner of rear bumper sprayed
xr kit sprayed and fitted

and if the front arches are rusty im gona hav 2 new wings put on and sprayed
just want to make sure thers not too much rust on the car, as i want to keep it 4 a few years yet.

how much do u reckon all that would cost abouts?

ah yes

makes sense now forgot you had the spats off

ignore me i'll go back to sleep

looking good tho

how/what did you use to remove the bump strip

looks good ive been thinking about XR/RS arches to hide my crusty ones

i used a hair dryer to heat up the glue then just carefully pulled them off, then use turps to remove the rest of the glue. it takes a while and lots of hard work to get it off thou, i still havent finished getting it off yet.

and i wud sort the rust before putting the kit on coz it will spread.
