My new - C32 Estate - Tanzanite Blue

[clk320x]

Hi guys,

I just bought this C32 Estate as a bit of a project - I’m looking forward to bringing it back to 100%.

These cars are so rare now.

I’m going to remove the wind deflectors when I get a chance.

Today - I took it to my indie to have an A service done with Mobil1 (bought from Costco!)

What tyres would be recommended? I’m thinking of Michelin PS4s?

cheers!

Whats the plan, back to 100% original , or just as nice as you want it to be ?

Was that on eBay recently, been looking at them recently and it looks familiar? Great colour and looks a solid base.

Thanks for your kind comments, yes you’re right.

Nice car hope it's a good un. Remember that engine/supercharger - IHI S105 is shared with the SLK and the Chrysler Crossfire SRT-6

I have already booked it in to have both front doors and both rear quarters/arches repaired and resprayed. I noticed some small rust bubbles today when cleaning it, they are very minor but I’d rather catch it early.

So it begins....

Looks like a nice project! Is it a uk car or a Jap import?

I still have my jasper blue C32 estate. I've owned it from new! Certainly becoming a rare sight these days.

If you need a (cheap) replacement rear NS light unit, I have an "as new" one gathering dust in my garage, along with an aerial amp from the tailgate!

Thanks Chris - I’ll keep this in mind.

Although not normally a fan of aftermarket wheels, I really like those and I’d actually keep the colour (or maybe go grey). I had Continentals on my C32 and they were great.

Looks a good one though mate, I absolutely loved mine, keep on top of the niggly jobs and you’ll have plenty of fun.

OP wants it original so the wheels will have to go anyway.

Thank God! I love C32's. But black wheels.....err no.
