[Liberoz]

Welcome mate I know this car well Rabi use to cane the shiite out of it so not surprising it let go just a pity it did just after you acquired it.
You forgot to add the evo bracing on the frt strut top towers to firewall before getting the bay sprayed
Great to see some love going back into her, the last time I looked at this car it had quite a few bodge jobs done to it hopefully you will clear all these issue's up as it definitely needed some restoration.
