The guys at HTDevelopments started sorting the C-pillar and rear arches . More crash repairs were discovered so the passenger rear quarter panel was taken off the car to see what was behind . And of course, more rust was found... The driver quarter panel will be next as there are big chances the...- bzh kevin

I am getting everything done at once and did absolutely no prep work so it's adding quite a lot to the bill . It's probably worth talking to a few restoration places and see if the work can be done in stages and how the cost can be managed .- bzh kevin

I am not sure yet how much the total cost will be as this is still ongoing . I phoned a few reputable restoration places at the start to get an idea of what to expect pricewise . The answer I was always given is that it varies a lot from one project to another and that you don't know what you...- bzh kevin

The scope of the project has slightly expended . The passenger C-pillar/roof panel join is rusty and the overall state of the paint and body was pretty rough so the car will also get a full respray . The interior was stripped and all glass removed . Unfortunately due the car having a front...- bzh kevin

For a long time I had suspicions the car had been resprayed . Prior to starting taking the engine bay apart the guys at HTDevelopments also suspected the car had been repaired before as they noticed some of the seam sealer wasn't applied very nicely . Some panels turned out to be replaced, and...- bzh kevin

The guys at HTDevelopments started working on the car last week . As expected the panel between the bulkhead and passenger strut tower is rotten . The sills are also a bit worst than I previously thought . Here are some of the pictures they sent before starting pulling bits off .- bzh kevin

I am happy with stock power . I will probably try to go back to stock exhaust if I can find one at a decent price . My biggest issue with the car is brake fade and slightly too soft suspension . Once the new brakes and coilover are on the car it should be perfect for me!- bzh kevin

The front end will be completely taken apart, all panels blasted and welded where needed . Then everything reassembled using a jig before painting . Here is another S15 they did earlier this year . Hopefully the chassis will be good for another decade of salty British road!- bzh kevin
