Nice car there mate. I'm sure I've seen part of this car before.........with a rusty hole it it! :doh:

As said, get that filler off the bumper (or sanded smooth).

Good to see another si being saved, keep up the good work mate 8-)

Keep the standard si bumpers on mate and put xr2i skirts and arches on, looks better than aftermarket bumpers or anything like that! :thumbsup:

welcome mate and nice freebie as for the bumper use 80grit followed by 240 or 320 then use 600 or 800 wet and dry to smooth it off nicely :thumbsup:

and get that engine cleaned up :lol:

Its the power steering fluid crossover pipe mate. If you remove that the fluid will just spill out. You would have to drain the power steering fluid first (or collect it in a jug when you break the joing to stop it going all over the engine bay!) :thumbsup:
