OK . so where do i start . i was on the look for a ps13 for ages and ages, i viewed a few in Ireland but none were up to spec at all. all of them had very bad body corrosion / rust problems.
i was then contacted one night about a navy un registered ps13 that was in the country 2 days . i honestly thought it was a piss take so i rang the number.it was then i realized it was true and rising sun legends in cork (myles cooper) had one sitting in the docks in Dublin.. he sent me a few pics and the auction sheet and i just had to view it.
knowing the car was 100 % standard ment i could start with a blank canvas and make it mine with a rust free shell.
some of the pics i received of it

the car needs some minor body work as there is faded lacquer and minor bits. i was happy with it.
went and bought a bride seat for it with a super low rail and a fmic kit.gave the bride a right good wash and she came up like new

so as a mechanic myself i said id bring it to work and give her a good going over the weekend. the car is mint underneath , and simply is.. i didnt wan the irish roads to take its toll and i wanted a full rust free protecion on the arches and rust prone strut towers on the front, gave it a good underseal

i was trying to decide what kit/ wheels etc to go with on the car so i decided im going with a 17inch rays te37 in bronze with low offset with all the original aero parts, so firstly i picked up this mint aero bumper from Japanese performance.
