So I sold the RX8, which has been replaced by this mighty free-bee off my Great Aunt. Been sat for 9 months and so....

How I picked her up...

Still needs a bit of work. I'll do a full detail when I have time. Up close its still not great....

Thinking of turning it into a bit of a project as they are massively tune-able with engine conversions and head swaps galore. Fun times!!

It's a special edition too :wub:

I've always wondered how people dent that area on the car. Was it reversed into a lampost and only had the bumper replaced?

No she reversed it into a supermarket bollard and then the bumper popped back out. She hit it quite hard and didn't stop.... :lol: :beat:

Saved me doing it myself ;) They are going Sky Blue though eventually. Just white is a nice easy base so should only need keying and then a couple of coats of blue on top :D (think of the Lotus Elise Club Racer blue :D )

Good effort on the wheels, those wheeltrims make me Kry. That's a proper shed Robin, even you aren't gonna pull in that. The suspension etc does have a lot of potential on civics though. Civic Cup??
