So after a long time away from here and lost my old details I’m back after this was found in Birmingham so thought why not .. the 2000 sport, which has been sat a while and tbh the arches are not to bad at all, I was surprised…. Just a new fuel line and suspension arms and will fly through it’s MOT…. And then the work begins 🤔😂 I have a list waiting to order. But for now big deep clean and get it on the road :)

Thanks 😊 2-3 hours away bad traffic times so not far at all, it has some deep clean work this week and see how the paintwork really is, first point of call is clean out all the water catch parts, inside fuel flap seems good and arches at the back are not bad at all but will grind down and protect anyway, and parts in the engine bay .. anyway next week I hope to get it through the mot and work from there… yep I have had a fly around here and does seem a bit quieter but that can change anytime, used to speak to @honda-hardy here many years ago when I lived in Swindon Wiltshire (will have to see if he is still on )

Welcome back.
Looks like a very worthwhile project.

Nice that another Lude is road worthy

Definitely, it failed its last mot but ok nothing that can’t be sorted out … only issue I have is finding the fuel line … so far no luck 🍀 ways around it for sure but I would rather do it right …

Hi and welcome!

Sam ( @honda-hardy ) is still around, but hardly ever pops up on the forum. His 5th gen is off the road at the moment.
