looking good crowman,all the floor/inside looks good nic. so was the only rotten bits in the front.

Looking good Martyn, and pleased my old TMIC is going to a good use.
It's been sat in a box in the garage for about 6 years.
To think it nearly got chucked a few months back.

Yes mate, the front and one of the rear arches , a little bit around screen , the rest of the car is rust free

Thanks Scott, getting there.
The TMIC is as good as they get , and it's exactly same as Sti5/6 , same size etc .once silver and the factory sticker is on it , will be perfect .
A meal is on me for you and Rob .

Two happy meals:chinese::-D

Lol, might stretch to big Mac meals

What the delivery driver ?

That will three happy meals then. :nod::lol:

Coming on nicely mate, I do love the spoiler less look, I know you gonna put the p1 spoiler back on though :-)

did you pick a colour for the ic yet???

im looking at doing mine

Yes mate , sonic blue :-)

think im doing mine white :five:

Fpmsl , now your talking .

In all seriousness I've got some silver and will see how it looks, will post pics ones done , so you can see

that be great,getting sick of the gold thats on mine

Make sure the carpet doesn't get distorted if cleaned out of the car. I haven't got a clue but Edd on wheeler dealers always says to do it in the car to keep the shape.

Look at Flash Pants with his electronic garage picture !

It's the same pic I used to have been it seems bigger since I had to re-register.

Cheers Tel , had the carpet in my classic done with no problems :-)

A little update

Final two top coats on front end .
Air con rad fitted
Binned the rear bumper bar also as very rusty . Picked up a mint replacement
Rest of car stripped down and now just need to get some spare wheels and it's off to the body shop :-)

Yes mate, all glass coming out .
Screen is cracked so it's going to have a new one .

At least the bumper bar is the correct colour lol

Yeah, haven't heard that before :-)

I know, a oldie but goodie (bit like me lol)

Great job,at least the shell looks strong,

Keep it up.

Have refurbished the TMIC , well pleased with the result .

Started by rubbing down the complete IC and all brackets attached to it,then covered the fins as I didn't want heavy paint on them .

The old cover( bottom) was tatty , so I painted the replacement , fitted new mesh and new sticker.

Cough "my subaru goes sideways therefore I win" Cough

Thanks honey, not looking too bad yourself :wink:

well done martyn,that ic looks brand new m8 :ok:wots happening too your wheels are they being painted or are they already good nick.

Cheers Didz , the wheels are mint, just being super anal , I don't want any overspray on them , and it gives me the time to give them some more loving :-)
Once car is away I'm going to take everything off engine so I can get the dremmel out and clean ur up , followed by paint of course :-)
