Well it's been a while, I pulled up the front carpet and found I had some surface rust at the start of November, finally got that sorted the other day.

Decided to clean the engine bay and now it misfires, a lead or two is dead or the cap or rotor, so I've purchased a replacement for them,

I've just finished shampooing the carpet and restoring the plastic.

I've replaced the damaged door and generally got stuff neatened up on the car.

As you can see the damage on the outside left is quite severe, I am looking for a similar colour metallic blue front quarter panel to replace it with, failing that I will repair it myself.

Hey, VQ, Whats up man? I haven't been on Racerplanet on forever, Tell all the guys I said hello. Nice car, she looks mint. Contrats dude! Are you still persueing you career with diesels? Good Luclk with it man, its a profitable business. I got a job as a Motorhome Tech-thats shits complicated. Well, its not that hard, but it's different than working on Hondas,. thats for sure. Speakling of Hondas, I'm right in the middle of doing some engine work on mine, and My uncle said he'd get me some 17's for my graduation present. I'll be sure to take pics, maybe I'll be back on Racerplanet soon......
Take it easy man

Nice 264- I think I saw that for sale on ebay a while ago. If you're going to replace the wheels, you could give the old ones a good clean up and put them on ebay. They're called virgos and are pretty popular ( you prob. already know but I thought i'd mention it). Keep us posted with the improvements etc. Paint looks good and so does interior so looks like you've got a good base to work from.
