after trying to start my project thread but struggling ( if a mod could move this thread for me
) i thought id just start it here and get some feed back
basically a mate and i decided one drunken night wed get a trackday car i found this car and within 7 days had a car and trailer sorted, we got our first day booked (abbingdon) and this is our story
ok so first came the car beleive it or not this was a CAT C !!!!! and itd been sat for 3 months and rather than the bloke scrap or break it made a perfect base car to start with
basically that was all the damage a wing and door, luckily no suspension damage and the car already has bigger 288mm grooved and drilled discs and front and rear eibach anti roll bars so it was a great base start
its got 160k but has a really strong engine and had been very well cared for so it seemed a shame to do this but weight counts so it had to been done, rather that than scraped or broken
so it started like this sun morning
and by sun lunch time looked like this
we then found the usual rust spots but they werent that bad but made the plates and welded in the patchs
and got the battered wing off
then we managed to get some old vw bora wheels and painted them to match the mood black look were going for
found a wing and door from a black vr6 (£40
)
then off came the calipers refurbed them and bought so green stuff pads which will be fitted soon and then painted them red (my mates idea !!!)
and then came the serious weight reduction
got a bit crazy on the rear doors
