PeeWee Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Great stuff, now for the fun bit of restoring it to its former glory & above all enjoyment of driving it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee_2f2f Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Nothing wrong there that with a little work could have it looking great again.Nice to see TOF back home again & look forward to seeing it hopefully progress back to the car many of us admire here on EVO. It was tested on those plates though? Hear Hear. But jeeze Tina, you got your work cut out hun. That back bumper needs replacing (and to replace it will be work as that one is extended to fit the arches) Front bumper needs TLC and those wheels need spacing as said. but Tina, I am glad to still see this car circling Evo and being in good hands. Oh also! you say its back on UK plates, does that mean its the TOF again, or has it been given something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat_Steve Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Well done on passing the MOT, it's getting there. You'll be able to get away with getting the rear bumper plastic welded, if you can find a bodyshop who are good at it - My RX-7 bumper took a knock and on hearing it'd take 12 weeks for a replacement to come from Japan, they did a plastic weld repair - was flawless, and my bumper was in far worse shape than yours. The front - well, it's fibreglass so is easily repairable, though a replacement doesn't cost a fortune. And once you get a set of motorsport-style alloys with spacers on there it'll be getting back to its glory days. Get Dave's Compos back on there! ;-) BTW Dave, before the car went in for surgery it was Ash Black, and when I gave it to my bodyshop I asked for it to be painted panther black. BUT I'd trust them about as far as I can throw them however - did you have paint match issues? If so I would not be that suprised... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
