@wurly I see all type S as sacred, the God of vtec would be disappointed if we let it go to ruin..
@sam-h I really did want the wings west set up, but after seeing the bodywork on it in the summer, I couldn't let it rust for another 12months...

I may still bring the WW kit back when eventually I return next autumn.
@ratty hmhhhhh not sure.....that pic has me lost for words

Oh Yeh..... My steering wheel actually has no leather wrap on it at all, it's been removed by previous owner.. Prob to hide the worn leather.....

So the restoration is going well, mostly done... Lights and door handles/petrol cap to go back on.. But the job looks good so far... I was sent a lot of pics but i will post a few that I uploaded on photobucket.

Yeah that sill wasn't in great shape!

Totally confused why they have filled over the repair patches in that area though?
Looking good after painting

Yer did they weld those holes over before filling. Also why the rear bumper fog light?

Other than that. Nice job.

Yes it was welded... I'll post better pics.

The rear fog hole was already on the bumper. Bit of a sin to have it there...

My type s has the same oval fog light hole. I filled it in by plastic welding a section of another bumper but it's starting to crack in one area as I'm sure someone used my bumper as a stop

I hate the oval one even more than the usual oblong shaped one.. So on my type s I get the worst one! Did U rewire into one of the fog-lights ?!? When I get mine back we are Gonna be twinning from behind... Altho I know your Mugen spoiler is modded.. I've lusted after this spoiler forever

Okay I made some sense of the pics I was sent. This shows the sills being repaired on each side, one side was really bad. And the areas that were treated for rust and prepped, then sprayed. And also the Mugen skirts and spoiler. I don't actually have a pic of the rear spats.

As per my post in the above thread this is why I say to check the areas I stated if buying a 5th gen. Rudelude I presume they also checked the inner arch as they look complete and rust free but with any pressure they crumble just like the sills/jacking points as per the pics you have posted.
