Thought id experiment, doubt I will see any noticeable perfomance increase but its all free









Was surprised how much crap I found under the carpet, including a snail Gave it a good vacuum and a quick wash. Still need to remove seatbelts but the bolts were tight as fuck, will do that tomorrow when I can be arsed.

There are a few tiny rust patches on the left hand side where the floor pan meets the side, are these an issue?

The rust probably doesn't matter too much at the moment. What with the car being white it's just a lot more noticable.

rust is caused by moisture buildup under the panels & interior, vibration causes the interior to rub against, rubbing off paint & then it rusts

just patch the rust, sand/spray again...

you will notice it feels a little more responsive but noisy as fook

why you left in the roofskin & other inetrior panels?? get rid

More pics of the car from today...









Sounds a bit different with the de-cat, what sort of changes should I expect apart from higher emissions!?
