My S15 Spec R revamp.

Well, by the end of last year my brother Dave and myself decided our S15 was looking a bit tired. So we thought we would rip it apart and treat it to a few new bits and bobs and a new coat of paint.
The car itself is now almost complete. So I'll post pics up everyday untill its finished. Hope it keeps you entertained for a week or two.
Here's a couple of pics to be getting on with.

Last year it looked like this.


Then we did this.


Mick Cross from AutoCross cut out the rear shelf and made this.





And this.

Some nice pictures there martin, weird seeing old pictures of the S15, looks completly different now! looks awsome!

Lets concentrate more on the cars and less on the employees...... even though this Christian is the greatest tea and coffee maker in the west! and is often refered too as colonel Kenco

I dont know how many compared to other S bodys, but there's the boot one, two on the floor and one across the roof I think. There may be more.

Ohhh nice. Gotta get mine sorted. Fed up with a multi colour s15.

standard ones over s14 are

Front under brace
Rear subframe brace
Boot brace.
Two other in boot
Brace across the roof
Brace at the bottom of each pillar (back of seats).

That's all i know of. A decent cage negates the need though probably.

I wish this was all I did at work. I have to do all my own work in evenings and weekends, which the gf loves.
