Hi guys
Been looking for a low-cost project to keep me ticking over for a while now. Have been lurking on 6gc for a while so thought f*ck it, lets do this! Anyway, found an SR. It seemed half-clean with the exception of some 1/4 rust and a few dents so I thought I would start to try and restore it and keep it as a daily driver (as its the SR the insurance is affordable for me at the mo) So I'm looking for some input into what to get done and what kind of problems I should be checking on one of these? I may even wrap it when the bodywork is done next year so anyone have any experience they can pass on? I have done some cheap interior mods on other cars a few years ago and have started with ordering some low cost interior mods to keep me ticking over (spreeLED kit, touchscreen head unit, carbon fiber interior wrap) Thanks This post has been edited by Dennisthe10: Feb 17, 2013 - 3:39 PM |

I can't believe it was in a scrap yard. At least all the cars over here in scrap yards are just that. Well good for you on saving it.
