As you can see its in a sorry state at the minute. Plans are to sand and repaint engine bay, sand and repair rust, treat and paint underbody and arches. Refurb wheels. And much more!

Good progress made, keep the pictures coming. I love build threads like this. Any plans other than rust restoration?

Thanks Daz6. Lot of work to do yet. Plan is to get it as clean as possible back to pretty much stock.

Type R = Type Rust unfortunately.

I will be keeping an eye on the build. My girlfriends EP3 is getting attacked by rust but im not sorting that out as well as my own cars.
 
Welcome to the fold, this is my kind of build thread :)

Looking forward to the progress mate

Your not wrong . They do like the rust. What are you working on at the minute?

Ive been having a bit of a break from doing my cars for a while, after I did the clutch on the EP3, pads on a yaris, built a log store, cutting loads of wood for the store and other stuff getting in the way ive not had chance to do my own.
I took a couple day off work last week and fitted a new manfold, and downpipe on my starlet turbo converted it to a external wastegate setup, rotated the turbo and shortened the intercooler pipework. that's nearly finished now I just need some 40mm pipe to make up the screamer pipe. Then I can get back onto the Dc2 rebuild, there's a thread In here for it but I've not updated it for a few months.
 
Keep up the good work buddy. Enjoying the updates.
