Picked this up for a reasonable amount:













Needs a few things sorting more to follow!

Plans:

New boot, dewipered.
Get cesaros resprayed in star silver
Sort the exhaust out (Get a hidden one)
Source mudflaps
Sort all the nicks out
Opelise
CC Doorhandles & bootlock
Smooth fuel cap
Either Depos or morettes.

Then either see if it polishes up or full respray!

Right so first day I had it i bit the bullet and wanted to see what rust it had.. Not THAT much for a 16 year old car. Took both bumpers off found bits of damage not much rust behind rear bumper, theres alittle in the wheel welll but thats where the wheels been sat on the wheel clip and presssured it tthrough the seal so exposing the metal...

Behind the back bumper..





Can't see much but theres nothing serious, should clean up okay...

Wheel well...



Hopefull can get away with cutting the bottom out and using the wheel well out of the sport..

Front bumper... Well this is where the problems usually hide... Right to the word...










So going to need welding up before MOT oped to using the crossmemeber and slam panel off the sport as they are tatty on this car...
Also replaced the radiator and fan as these were completly fucked!

Bought an angle grinder to get the work donw with, thanks to gayboyslee got this at trade price...



This is all till Thursday...

Tou can get a hold of a new crossmember from cv panels for just over £30. Saves you cutting up your other car m8
