Hi guys,

I've had this car since the beginning of June now, that my brother had bought off someone who lives down the road that used it as a track car. Before being imported back in late 2007 it was used for drift competition and is in very good condition. Back in the time when my brother had bought it, it had been left on a trailer in the back garden for a good 5 years without any use. The car was in shockingly good condition despite being left in the elements.

My brother got it trailered back to the unit to start working on it, he found all the fuel lines and tank needing replacing aswell with alot of ours due to the lack of use. He replaced Coilpacks, sparks, fuel lines, tank and alot of other bits I am unaware of haha. The car was a non starter and there seemed to be alot to get on with but after replacing alot of fluids and parts she started, a bit lumpy and horrible to say the least!

Due to him needing the money he offered to sell it which I immediately jumped on the offer, since owning it myself I have fitted an Uprated Fuel Pump (Walbro 255), Driftworks master to slave (damper loop delete), apexi air filter as the previous mushroom had started deteriorating.

Aswell as all the previous, whilst it was in a unit I decided to get the car on axels and underseal the car aswell as stonechipping and hammeriting the arches.
The car now sits outside my house waiting on the registration for the road!

It sat outside for 5yrs and didn't need any rust repairs? That's pretty impressive. Get some pics up!
The fact that it was on a trailer saved it yo be honest otherwise it would have been a wreck. One of the best condition R32's I have seen let alone own hahaha

Also as you can see from the pictures there is no rust in or on the arch lips! ;)

Now for some stupid reason I took pictures of the underside of the car before I undersealed but not after so will have to get some pics for comparison, but anyhow here are the pics of it before and yet again on specs of rust, no corrosion!

I had my friend MOT it and he was looking at the underneath and was so surprised at how clean it was!

Just got the back of the car sorted (primed and stonechipped), also for the front end of the car just done behind the wings and general front area.
