New member, new project?... Options

[Dennisthe10]

Hi guys

Been looking for a low-cost project to keep me ticking over for a while now. Have been lurking on 6gc for a while so thought f*ck it, lets do this!

Anyway, found an SR. It seemed half-clean with the exception of some 1/4 rust and a few dents so I thought I would start to try and restore it and keep it as a daily driver (as its the SR the insurance is affordable for me at the mo)

So I'm looking for some input into what to get done and what kind of problems I should be checking on one of these? I may even wrap it when the bodywork is done next year so anyone have any experience they can pass on? I have done some cheap interior mods on other cars a few years ago and have started with ordering some low cost interior mods to keep me ticking over (spreeLED kit, touchscreen head unit, carbon fiber interior wrap)

Thanks

right well you saw the old rear shot above so here's the new one, debadged (kinda) and JDM's:



SR Stickers removed (i know, small job but really annoying me) and clear side markers:



Also unplugged the power antenna as the noise was doing my head in every startup. The Carbon fiber didn't work at all, full credit to anyone who can do this, I just wasted a lot of money failing miserably so have returned to normal black wrap. Had to fiberglass around the stereo as had to hack into the fascia to get a decent fit (stereo was slightly too big). Took out the blanking slots on the gear surround and added a TRD badge with some blue LED's to match the blue LED's on the stereo. Im still not happy with this part of the interior so expect an overhaul later this year when i get a break from studying:
