well i thought i would do a post about my Si, considering i havnt really posted anything on this side at all since i joined, ive had the car about a month or two on the road now (still nowhere finished), as this is an old thread what i did on FT.com, well to start, i got it for a good price of £270 and its got 48k on the clock, engine purrs like a kitten, and runs absolutley fine, the only prob was the door,





the interior is near mint, just some mold on the roof lining and on the seatbelts.




heres a pic of the engine bay when i got it:


and now with a new filter on it:


well to start off with was to get a new door on, just needs a little fiddle to get it perfect.




found some rust on the front valance.



and now looks like this.



the first bits i decieded to get were some new dials, and some clear rear lights.





so on with the body work, today i sorted the holes on the wing sanded the bonnet and the bumper and sprayed in primer.







this is what im going to be aiming for



itll be lowered -60mm
RS/2i arches
RS2000 skirts
2.0 engine
and a front splitter which im still deciding on

this is what it was like when i took the rear bumper off



i smoothed in the rear spoiler (people said it would crack but it hasnt yet)




well finally cut off the rear valance so that is awaiting the new one to be welded


ive fitted my mk4 wiper arm


and heres a pic of the smoothed spolier and the top swage line gone




and ive sorted the dint and the deep scratches on the rear bumper aswell and finally smoothed off under the rear lights:



well, i got myself a cheap set off alloys off ebay got a good price of £31 there only 13" but im not really that fussed, ive got some grooved discs to go on, and a rear strut brace.

hope its ok, as its a stupid amount of pics, the fez still stands in a multicoloured state as ive had no time what so ever to do anything on it, but hopefully when work dies down abit, i will try and get some bits and bobs done to it,

cheers
