Restoration of my SVX - See pics of the work
I finally got my SVX back after loads of panel work repairing the dents from the previous owner. I also had the black bumpers stripped back and painted in the body color and had the roof painted black. Topped off with gold STi wheels and new rubber and I am really happy with the result. Once the paint cures I will cut it, seal and get some quality wax on it. Stoked to have it back and be driving it again. This post is a bit picture heavy but gives an idea of the amount of work that has gone into it. Enjoy the restoration.
When purchased it had black bumpers and dents down the sides, dents in the bonnet and dents in the roof and some parts of the clear coat had broken down. The body was stripped and work was started on all the dents. As you can see there was loads of work done. The finished result. From this to this Hope you enjoy, cheers Col

Re: Restoration of my SVX - See pics of the work
Thank you all for the positive replies. I get pumped up just looking at the results and then just want to get in and drive it I will post some interior photos at some stage as I have cleaned it up and it looks really nice too.

Don't all of the mirrors fold? Every SVX I've ever had had breakaway mirrors.
