My name is Imran and based in Manchester.





Three issues with the car:


1) RUST
2) engine overheats on longish runs
3) full respray

In the last few months I took the car to Gary to sort the rust on the car.




I have copied the images and text from another forum so it may not flow right:


Car when I got it:





















The rust:


























Look what I found hidden behind the front driver side wing, all this damp stuff has caused lots of damage to the door post, see images below:

Found a small hole, did have a poke around and does looks quite solid:










More rust on the floor, this is that the front driver side floor:









Driver side sill, looks good apart from one hole in the middle:

Some new parts for the car: front bumper bar for 134 pounds from Toyota, they originally wanted 150+ but asked for a discount and got it









Also I found a newish number plate bar in my store room











Need a better bumper skin though as the current one is wavy at the top




Also got a set of new APEX springs for 70 pounds




























Okay the most important parts I have are the replacement panels, I've managed to get two sills
