hello from the uk, on my limited budget I managed to pick up this bargain for £4k









with 74k and at 4 grand she was a steal....but then ive just spent 1200 quid on it pretty much, but even then for 5200 it'l be like new

booked in for new roof at monsoon and will be doing a shit load to freshen it up over the coming weeks and ile be updating this thread with my progress, hope you like

 

Great deal! It looks clean

 

looks nice and clean

 

Clean and tidy....

Welcome to the world of s2000s durmz

 

damn.. thats in excellent shape for the price you paid too 0_o

 

you know that haha, bit of an update, been right old busy, given full service, copper greased all the brake pads as it was squeeking from cold, given full detail minus machine polish as I dont have a rotary, cleaned wheel wells and underneath, engine bay next. pics coming asap

 

sick deal. car seems in great condition. have fun with your car

 

ok so this lot has been done over a while,

new aerial
new floor matts
full service including, air filter, engine oil (fuchs titan race 5w40)
hamp oil filter, quite a bit slimmer than the std one;


redline mtl for gearbox and redline 75w90 gl5 for the diff

good old oil syphon pumps real handy for this job lol


iacv valve was clogged up a fair bit



clutch slave ball...thingy...was a mess,

I used a bit of fine wet and dry and then metal polish on a dremel buffing bit

forgot an after pic lol,then packed it with grease, also did the contact points on the arm

then the brakes where squeeking so took all the pads out, give em a brush down and cleaned up the calipers, then copper greased appropriatly


and give all the arches and that a good scrub as it was filthy

shiny;


then for a good old wash, my process goes like this;

rinse,
snowfoam mixed with g101 apc, rinse
2 bucket wash with megs,rinse
simoniz bug remover, rinse
ag tar remover, rinse
iron x
rinse,
clay (was in good need) with ag quick detailer, then rinse all the crap off

headlights where yellowed and murky so used megs metal polish, probably 5-6 goes over brought them right up


for the wheels I use a mix of wonder wheels (cos its cheap as chips) mixed with bilberry
for the inside I usually just use a damp microfiber, theres not alot it doesnt sort, anything stuck in I mix in a tad apc



was fairly clean after this, it did show up alot more of the imperfections in the paint though, but for a ten year old car I was fairly impressed,

then to polish up I used ag ultra deep shine, carlack 68 vinyl, topped with an autoglym HD wax


pics of finish!









hope you enjoy, sorry if its a long post! lol
