Had a few hours on her today

Front end susp/cross member/steering rack etc removed and stripped ready for powdercoating,just a few bushes to get pressed out

Chucked the seats in to keep them clean

Could not fit rears though,as previous owner has cut the brackets off shell

The Mitsi seam sealer on strut tops is a bodge 8-|

too much of it,and stops the strut brace sitting flat(you can see the indent in the sealer)
So its got to be re-done properly ;))

Got all the front end nuts/bolts soaking in Vinegar ready to go to be re-plated

No,GSR

You pay circa £5000 more for a Tommi Mak than a GSR VI,and your only really paying for the name :ymsigh:

Cause there are not alot of upgrades over a GSR,diff seats,10mm lower springs,faster spool up turbo,slightly more advanced ECU

All Evo's that I know of have alloy arms

Cosworth gone years ago :))

Was rotten

and eng lost all oil pressure and had bad piston slap

Sold the big brakes/wheels etc then sold shell to a breaker

I've had a Evo V since then,that too turned out to be rotten as a pear L-)

Real nasty bodge job on rear chassis :-o

Broke that for parts and bought this VI shell and using eng/box/interior out of V to get this in one piece

You've got me confused with Gaybrows pal!!!! ;))

Unreal how good a job vinegar does on rusty bolts B-)

Read abit on net about it,but was well surprised how good a job it does

I think the EVO II was the first to have forged aluminium front arms, the VI was the first to get forged aluminium rear arms.

I've been told Cillit bang is even quicker at cleaning rusty bolts, also removes zinc plating etc though.

true

never use vinegar or any kind of acidity on old coins though as it removes the patina :-B
