My SE9 rebuild.
« on: November 17, 2010, 09:48:25 PM »
Hello Guys and Gals, heres some pictures of my Se9 im currently rebuilding. I brought her afew months ago for £220 quid. The oil cooler and head gaskets have gone which is why im rebuilding the engine at the moment. I plan to rebuild the engine, restore the interior and get it resprayed back to red.

This is what she looked like before picked her up afew months ago.



When i got here back home and on the drive.







Heres some more pictures of how it looks now :)
