Supercharged 5G Motegi

Post by JDM-BB4 » Mon Mar 10, 2014 1:16 pm

A couple of p155 poor phone pictures of my new purchase.

Its a 1999 model with Motegi kit and it has covered only 74k miles
It has been off the road for 6 months so the brakes need attention and the bodywork is faded in quite a few places.

I'm not sure yet. I'm going to get the brakes sorted first then see what else it needs before putting it in for an mot.

Does anyone with a Milano red 4th or 5th gen have any tips for restoring the paint? Any special polishes or techniques?

H22A8 friend

What made you go for a 5th over a 4th anyway? (If there even was a reason other than availability)

This one came up nearby and tempted me. It has a few tasty mods on it. I will need to thank a fellow forum member for spotting the advert that led me to it. :)

It's also getting harder to find a rust free 4th gen as most are over 20 years old now.

Had success on my mates Mitsi GTO with this then a decent top coat over it.
