Will get some better pics when i have cleaned it. Anyone know the car?
it has some 17's a powerflow cat back exhuast and pipercross airfilter
when i got it it was on 0.4 bar of boost i found the problem so that was easly sorted
but put the car up on a 2 post ramp today and it looks like the cars been in a puddle for
5 years  ??? But all seems to be surface rust so when i got time ill attack it with a wire brush and
repaint and underseal it again.

Hi Stu, did you get it from Lee by any chance? ;)

Nice example, still needs the bonnet vents turned around tho, lol. Any questions, feel free to post 'em up :)

Yeah, they're to let air flow through the bay rather than channel it in ;)

As for the dash item, check the for sale section for anyone breaking their car, or your local scrapper......
