Marcus GTE Posted February 12, 2018 Share Posted February 12, 2018 Welcome, and great find I don’t think it needs a respray. Save your money, the polish looks good to me, and the origional paint job will be hard to match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Save your money, the polish looks good to me, and the origional paint job will be hard to match. The car will have a full respray in factory colour. I'm very fussy so want it as close to perfect as I can get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ste-dub Posted February 25, 2018 Author Share Posted February 25, 2018 Still not gone for polishing but will be going this week. I sold the oem 16s and collecting the oem 17s tomorrow. I had to throw the car on my r34s work xd9 wheels to keep it rolling. I put it up on stands yesterday to give the arches a good wash and im suprised that it seems in such good order for a 25yr old car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooter Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I put it up on stands yesterday to give the arches a good wash and im suprised that it seems in such good order for a 25yr old car It does look good, make sure you have a good check of the brake/fuel hardlines, just in front of the diff there is a little plastic cover shield (one 10mm bolt and a couple of clips to push through to remove it) that's a know mud/moisture trap and can hide rusty lines. I reckon yours will be ok'ish looking at the rest but worth double checking at this stage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellis Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Looks in superb condition. Front bumper needs a bit of tweaking as it's got that pinched look under the headlights - am familiar with that look!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herbiemercman Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 For me this thread is unique, for someone to find a car like this stored for 15 years, it has to be a major credit to the quality of these machines, we have a saying in Lancashire and it is: "The Luck Of the Irish", this definatly applies.
