supertwisted Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 So this will be my project thread for my Pirates Black MB6. You can expect slow progress, daft questions and roofbars (yep, I'm a cyclist).Me:30-something, married, kids, mortgage, no money. Always loved my jap cars, really missed my old EK4 when I sold it and after a spell with a sensible Accord couldn't stand anymore and had to have another quick Honda. The car:1998 Pirates Black VTi53k with historyNo modsGreat paint!When this appeared for sale I just couldn't resist, after a few messages with the seller it was down to the bank to get the money out and then a family road trip that weekend to buy it. Queue a 200 mile round trip to Suffolk.How it begins:The plan:Keep it clean, fit some subtle well thought out mods, drive it and service it.Comments and suggestions welcome!
