My lude. Is rust really that fast?

Post by archiebroge1 » Sun Nov 08, 2015 7:36 pm

Hi Folks. My name is Archie .Been lurking on here for a while now so thought I better stick a project thread up for my lude. Have had my 98 5th gen for about 4 months now. was using it to drive back and for to Aberdeen for my work but now I want to make it something better. Its currently sitting in bits as I had to replace the clutch. Also noticed a couple of other bits and bobs that need attention before putting it back together. Will be moving on to the rear arches next as the seem to be the the only bad part on the shell. Then I will be looking to sort the paintwork out a bit.

Not going for the mint look want an aggressive looking car but want it to look lush underneath and under the bonnet.

That's about it for now will finish with saying the standard of cars on here are amazing

here's some pics

First pic I ever took of her sorry about the quality

You would think it would have been dodgy before it went but it was fine. Just went one night :?

Thanks for the welcome lads. Got the clutch finished up can't believe how much better the car pulls now really is a big difference. Hopefully I can now get on with some upgrades and sorting out my paint
