5k is a lot too spend, when you could put that towards a newer car... Plus the money you get for parts of this....damn that would mean a nice late 5th gen and change for all the mods u want, or u hop ship to the dc5, which is a badasss motor... :twisted:

I'm actually spending near 3k at least to get my non runner live and kicking...and looking the way I want. But a type s is special to my heart.... And every penny I spend is worth it to me. ( he says nervously....lol )

I don't think I have helped u much.... Sorry.... :oops:
It's cool, dude. I appreciate the support :hug:

That's cool, I have spare doors.. how good is the shell? ..and how much do you want for it? Even then, I don't really have the time (or space) to re-shell my car.. and still get it painted.

@vanzep@bb1boy
sunroof didnt look too bad when i had a look just a couple of small rust bubbles but could be refurbed or replaced like you say
might also be possible to bend the top frame of the drivers door back into place
would be good to hear what the passenger side arch and sill look like :)
im still mulling over buying this from you Gerry - just wish i had somewhere to store it or work on it :?

i'd say buy a dirt cheap white uk 2.0 with good bodywork, then transplant all the goodies over 8-)

Yeah Drax, that would be good, but it still means I need to find space and time for all of those shenanigans..

Free Ranj Egg (I love the name) - the exhaust is some unbranded stainless one that my mate welded up. It has a Tanabe Limit AX manifold though, so that's pretty awesome. Try to view the pics when you get home mate.
