Hi Guys,
My EK9 is currently in the process of having a full restoration done. It should be complete in the next 6-8 weeks so thought I might as well start this thread now to show its progress to date.
I bought the car 2 months after my 18th birthday in September 2008 and will own the car 15 years this September 2023 coming (I turn 33 this July 2023 ). I do not think I will ever sell the car and a few years ago I knew if I was going to hold on to it forever in good condition, then it was going to need this restoration at some point. The car was never my daily driver and never will be but just from working on it here and there etc, I knew once it was stripped, there would be a few surprises with rust etc.
As some of you may have seen in another thread, a couple of years ago, the car was having an issue with emissions for NCT, so I had it remapped by AP Performance (Vtec6000 on here) who also installed RDX 410cc OEM injectors into the car at the time. All engine internals are stock and this remapping restored the car to its original power and went straight through the NCT with no emissions issues. This ensured I could proceed with the restoration.
Anyway, below is some pictures I took before it was stripped.
