Seeing as she's working again, and the last time she was cleaned was august 2008, thought a spruce up was rather overdue.
Filth

Fitted the standard GTi exhaust (Runs so nice and smooth)

The dynamic duo

I also refitted the P1 grille, I think I prefer it to the mesh one now.
Before

After

Once I get to the bottom of the rev counter issue the dash etc can go back in, then its time to get the underseal out.

Fitted rear strut brace and took her out on a trip to the pub last night, she did well, exhaust is blowing and a few things feel like they need tightening (Wheels need balancing I think), noisy wheel bearing is annoying too.
Got a few pics though!
Strut brace in

Driving without a dash until I fix the rev counter

Fitted new wing mirrors in place of nymo's old badly sprayed ones

Few random shots

lookin sweeeet mate, glad its all gettin sorted, bring on these big plans!

 

[Corbalicious]

Aye all in good time. Drove it 'spiritedly' for the first time tonight and discovered a bad manifold leak so got to try and sort that ASAP - think it just needs tightening and pasting.
The handling was truly awful though, think the tyres need attention and re-tracking/balancing. The shocks might be on their last legs too. The car was extremely wallowy and turning at high speed was very 'skittish'. With any luck this, and the horrendous ride height, can be addressed at the same time
I mean, just look at it. What were Nissan thinking?
