Owner of 2657

[Lenos1980]

Hi all I'm the owner of 2657 bought this beauty last year, I thought I had already introduced myself on the forum but apparently I hadn't 😅.

Planning on a component resto and a respray this year to take her back to mint again.

It's only done 33k from new and I believe it was owned by dreamscience at some point in its life.
I'm going to start a component restoration soon and would love a recommendation for a respray soon after (or before) I'm in South Devon but don't mind travelling for the right price/job.

It has no rust but I would like the door shuts, inner wings, sills, inner sills and the boot floor painted aswell.

Theres a few little parts I need to find also or have refurbished if you can recommend anyone (including the gt alarm).
+Foglight plastic surrounds
+Grill and upper plastic
+Gt alarm module (if it's likely the cause)
+offside inner plastic splash guard
+steering wheel needs refurbishing
+headlights
+spot lights

I'm hoping to refurb all the suspension components as I go but things like the driveshaft and rear arm stickers will be needed also.

Thanks for reading!

Hi.
The listed parts are not often available and you may need to wait sometime for them to pop up.

Regarding the steering wheel we've a great opportunity for refurbished in original look on the members area, if you've registered full membership.

I bought it around a year ago but I've got other Fords aswell so this one hasn't been a priority until now.
I don't mind the parts being refurbed rather than buying new but you guys will have likely done all this already!
I thought I paid the membership when I signed up but obviously not.

Welcome to the club forum.

Lovely example this car Lenos. Have many pictures as well as the for sale advert when Dreamscience had the car for sale.

Good to see you and 2657 here.

Thank you, yes it's a lovely car we are very pleased with it, I bought a new civic type r in 2003 when these came out and regretted it ever since.

When I saw this one come up with good mileage I couldn't miss out.

It does need some work doing now though most of which from damp storage but fortunately it doesn't appear to have any rust. I want it at its best so most of it will be restored and I would love a recommendation for someone to respray it as it has chips and some water blemishes in the paint.
