Hi guys, I finally decided to register here after just reading for quite some time. I thought I´d put up a topic on my car for you to see.

-Rollcage
-JDM Orange cornerlights
-Drilled/Slotted discs all-round + EBC GreenStuff pads
Maybe something else too, time will show.

Here are some pics, this is what it looked like when I got it a year ago.



I noticed that I had a "small" rust problem so I started taking off the interior to get a better look at the problem.


Here are some pics of what was found under the rear seats and in the rear wheel-wells:





The rust was pretty well spread throughout the rear end of the car, at this point I wasn´t sure if it would even be worth keeping or should I just sell it for parts or something. I ended up replacing and welding all the rusty bits with new metal, took a hellova lot of time and effort, but now it should be good for another 20 years before it looks the same..


The rear end bushings didn´t look too good either, replaced them all with Energy Suspension urethane ones.

Next up I took apart the head, it was shaved and the valves and seals were replaced:



Also polished up the engine bay a bit, and threw in some new parts..


Trying on the bodykit I got for the car



And here she is on the trailer before going to the paint-shop


It got painted with G66P - Barcelona Green Pearl, wich is the original colour for the EE9 European spec B16A1 engined 91' Hatch.

I also have the same kind of yellow foggies that the car in the pics has.
