R MOOSE Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 As many of you know I bought the red 97 850R that was for sale for the last 7 months. It started at 3k and I ended up getting it for $1100. I figured I would share with you what is being done with it. When I picked it up, not one body panel had shine to it. I am in the prossess of bringing it back.....so far so good,as you will see in the pics. The R came with 3" turbo back OBX,S60R manifold,and EST CAI. I have already ordered IPD springs PCV kit SNABB intake full suspension kit and all new silicone hoses.I'm sure I will be ordering a lot more. While waiting for the parts to come in, all I can do is clean it. And many of you know I'm OCD with my cleaning. I do have another 850R that I will be taking things off of..the Volans Don't get me wrong,the other R is a perfect running caR. I just want to have the red one as my main project I will post pics as I do things so you guys can see the progress. It WILL be ready for Carlisle!! And now for the pics of what I have done... The day I picked it up. It may look shiny...but noooooo it wasn't The whole car looked like the center of the hood. After a little polishing and waxing A before and after Just a little bit more system......1800watts worth I have more pics but I haven't uploaded them yet. As the parts come in and go on, I will post more. This R has fell into good hands!! Hope you guys like what I have done,and am doing to the R.

R MOOSE Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 What did you use to polish the exhaust tip? Fine grit sandpaper and some NeverDull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad850 Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Glad to see someone finally picked up this lonely guy. I would have if I wasn't still in school. Already looking really good. Those wheels you put on look 500 times better than the old ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R MOOSE Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 The wheel is a temp. The other one went flat. And honestly, I haven't taken it on the road yet. I wanna make sure everything is working right before I go out and test it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
