The car is in fantastic condition due to a recent restoration of the car. it has had a full respray which included the removal of both doors and tailgate. to be honest there was only minor surface rust on a few areas of the body which has been treated , etch primed / primed then painted. all lights / wings / bumpers / trims / were also removed. the car has also had teroson underbody wax sprayed to the underneath of the car to prevent any corrosion. all four alloy wheels have also been proffessionally re-furbished which involves acid dipping then powder-coat priming then painting with base coat the laquering.

It has had a oil and filter change and air filter. rocker cover gasket , water pump and cambelt and fresh coolant.

it has tax until the end of november and mot until march next year. it went straight through the last mot with no trouble. it has had new discs and pads at the front and new shoes at the rear. the tyres are also a set of avon's which have done around 500 miles.

the car has done 146158 km which works out at 90818miles as it is an import. the car*has a solid roof (tintop)*with no sunroof but has aircon.

Above copied from advert mostly irrelevant due to picking up a B18c4 + box this afternoon

Can't emphasise how mint this thing is! I thought the ek9 was mint...car was owned by a bodyshop owner!

*sexual wee*

looks stunning mate, very clean.

Why you putting in a c4 out of curiousity? Planning turbo? If your keeping it N/A why not a b18c/c6.

Engine came out fine, got it all cleaned up and treated with anti rust stuff, stripped to bare metal

Had a alot if screwing about with getting CRX vtec mounting brackets but eventually got them and got the B18 test fitted. Alls good and we've done a bit of chopping to make the alternator fit

Welded up a load of unused holes and are well on our way with smoothing and very soon looking to paint it, have early pics when it was roughly filled
