This S-Limited arrived in the UK about 15 years ago and i took ownership about 6 years ago. I drove it for 6 months then left the UK to work in Dubai at the time. It has been a little bit neglected since, but is my long, long term project. Its is almost original with a few tasteful mods and if I keep it will stay that way

Here is how it looked 6 years ago

Has original Gold BBS Alloys

Nice Chrome touch in engine bay!

Original Interior with factory stereo

Managed to track down red tonneu cover and chrome brace bar

I do love the chrome in engine!

Then took off the road 5 years ago. Became something that was used to store kids toys and tools etc on so has become a bit sad and unloved. Only time it was started was when I moved house earlier this year. Now it lives in its new garage and will get renovated sometime in the future.

Its a little bit rusty having lived on Scottish roads for about 10 years

Its my own barn find so to speak!

Still used as a storage area until I clear garage of old wardrobes from previous house!

Will be a long build thread, as I am only home for 4 weeks a year...but work is ongoing just now

Right, getting a bit of work done now....

Front wings both getting replaced. This was behind old passenger side one.

Replacing both outer lower sills so this rot at bottom should come out

Better at top of front. looks surface rust.

Driver side lower...lets get it open...

Sparks too!

At least rot looks low down..

Further work on driver side...

Front wings on

rear wing now...

Cheers thats the plan.

Half way through collecting parts for a full rear end refurb of all parts to new or as good as new. got a good subframe, as new rear upper wishbones and waiting for lowers to arrive. then will clean up etch prime and por-15 them, spent a load on bolts already and have a new front subframe and as good as new wishbones already as well.

l plan to have it as original as I can... Unless i go the rocketeer route with it!

Thanks, not seen before.

Yeah I plan it to be original, and as far as I know (apart from Chrome cylinder head ) it is original. Still have the MSSS stereo which most have lost

Only got about 115k km/s on it and drove well when i used it and aim to take it back to its best.

Looks like Ste is doing a nice job too, he's a good guy.
