So i have another one that needs some work. Although its not for me.
A friend had dropped this off with me as it needs some love.
Its a Rev1 Japanese import and has been off the road for the past 10 years.
So the good bits
Its a T-bar
Nice low mileage confirmed at 70k miles
Has the following extras
Power steering
Folding Mirrors
Aircon
MOMO steering wheel
Mudflaps
Yellow steering fog lights
The bad bits
Automatic Gearbox
Early brakes and suspension
Cloth interior with a small tear in the drivers seat
The paint is very bad.
Boot is full of water
Smashed window
The Ugly
Rust
Bodywork/paint needs alot of work
Previous crash damage and has had repairs but not done very well.
Both front anti roll bar mounts are cracked.
Here is some pictures of the offending areas
Drivers sill
Passengers sill and door
Front boot floor
Anti roll bar mounts
In general the rest is rather tidy.
The rear arches need no work at all and are still shockingly clean.
The sections behind the rear bumper are solid too just would benefit from a clean up
Continuing the inspection i pulled the front bumper off to have a look at some suspect things
And found the front end has been crashed and half straightened too
Washers shimming up the headlight
That will take a bit of work but not unachievable.
The plan is to pull the rest of the front apart and do similar to mine replacing the outer skin of that bent chassis leg. The rest of the bodywork should straighten with a bit of pulling and hammer work.
Ignoring that mess I made a start on the sills instead
