Hi everybody 
After having a little race with a Lamborghini (and overtaking) the other week I have blown my turbo on my gtir so I is an excuse to rebuild her.. I'm gona go all the way back to bare metal though. I've had this in my head for a while I want my baby back to the day she came out of the factory.. Body, suspension, drivetrain, engine, interior.. Everything like brand new!
Now I'm just being picky but one thing that really annoys me about my R is that previous owners have jacked it up on the front 'chassis rails' drivers/passenger floor pans and crushed them it looks horrible! Also the threads have gone for the driver wishbone rear bush.. Not good! The clamp fell off while driving!!
I've defiantly read on her before that this damage to the floor is common with Rs but I can't find anything.. I really want to have my shell sand blasted then remove these damaged sections of chassis and replace with new sections..
My question is.. Does anyone have any experience doing this repair or know of anywhere that may still these panels? I know it's a long shot but I really don't want to have to make them myself I want 100% original, or does anyone know off a R being broken that May not have this damage? (So I can cut it out)
Any help is really apreciated. Thankyou.
