Hey mate, i am an evo specialist and restore them, you have yourself a whole heap of trouble there on the underside. You can see the chassis rails need replacing, so just be prepared for that, likely rear sections of sills rotted too. Also, i'd recommend pulling the fuel pump out and checking the condition of the insides. If its been left for years with some fuel in it will likely be corroded and need replacing, new OE ones are still available to buy. Cleaning them out isn't an option.

[@hanyolo_]

I don't think those strut towers are going to make it either they look like they are done, if that much rust is visibile in the bay and under it, imagine how bad it's going to be when you start digging?. I rekon there's 300 hours work just to stabilise that car rust wise and basic mechanical stuff and a huge bag of money will be required. After that you could start thinking about resotring it. I'm not even sure it's worth the effort.....

[@rich_gasson]

@@hanyolo_ agreed, this car is just a breaker for me, far too many warning signs, but if they wanna give it a go so be it 😬

[@hanyolo_]

@@rich_gasson Yeah fair play to them if they can save it. I hope they have deep pockets 😄

[@hoodstig]

Hey rich really appreciate your comment speaks soo much volume and helps me a lot.... would love for you to come visit me and see the evo in person and give me some advise..... very rarely do we bump into evo restores

[@rich_gasson]

@@hoodstig where are you guys? You don't sound very local to Kent haa

[@Honda_Man_Sam]

That evos months away from being broken for parts in Bradford. It’s inevitable

[@manualgarage]

Great car, great project, can't wait to see it fully restored nice work👍

[@endeavour2127]

Great project!👍 You definitely got your work cut out with the rust! Hopefully your ayc pump isn't scrap!🤞

[@Jameesjourneys]

Fellow Evo owner here. I’ve got a 9 FQ340 that I’ve owned for 10 years. Well done taking this one on dude! Fingers crossed you can save it

[@hoodstig]

yes we have to save it

[@exgtt2061]

Great vid, it’s rough but now prices have gone up it might be worth saving. The motor sounds great to say it’s first start in 4 years 👍

[@hoodstig]

i agree my bro...

[@headleshydra]

The non-centering gearstick can be as simple as a spring thats come off which centres the knob

[@williamrae9954]

Salt goes down at 6C,it's an overtime payment job,so 1000's of tonnes of not needed salt is spread up here!

[@ReefOoze]

watching this thinking oh crap, have a 9 thats been on my drive for 4 years.. hope it can survive

[@aaronwilkinson2327]

I just bought a mint Evo 7 shell imported from Japan fresh for £2000 and swapped it all over under sealed it twice before fitting the parts minter

[@hoodstig]

not a bad a idea... but i want to challenge myself first but yes re shell is always an alternative

[@stevenlittlejohn5520]

Ware abouts did you get the shell from ware abouts did you even find to buy a evo shell from and how much was the shipping cost for it as well as I am in need of a evo shell myself lol

[@arden6665]

I once bought a audi a3 from scotland and lets just say ....never again. I wouldnt be suprised if thst under seal is hiding bigger problems. Look forward to seeing the out come and hopfully things are ok.

[@hoodstig]

thanks arden

[@NickCA6175]

Can’t wait to see it finished 💪🏻 fair play

[@featuringkhalid]

Wow this is a blast from the past! Glad to see it finally getting some love and attention woohoo on road soon land

Thanks, you too!

[@UMXEVO]

Save this evo man!!! Can’t wait to watch more videos on this build

[@hoodstig]

that is the way forward! next vid drop soon!

[@maljef2026]

Lovely car really is. Its a shame cars up in scotland get such harsh weather all year round. They do like to put loads of salt down on the roads and the rain its a toxic mix.

[@undefined9247]

You have my old em1 coupe in the corner! Good to see that back on the road at some point 👍🏻

[@hoodstig]

no way!!! that's mad bro small world.... btw i,m ready collaboration when ever your free bro!... i wanna feel the boost in the mini

[@fpmclovin2014]

Yeh almost things in Scotland especially that far up suffer badly from rust out clean chasis will be very different from Englands clean chasis

[@kristofevo]

Mate, both my Evo’s are in mint condition and I’m from 25 miles North of Inverness......but i NEVER run them in the Winter! Good luck with it, mate, but i think you’re going to have to totally strip it and get rid of all the rust which is a mammoth task in itself.

[@hoodstig]

i guess its who is the owner...

[@mrmalavey1098]

Mate thats a lot of work, but we now ya not stupid and make the bestbof whatever situation 💪✌️

[@hoodstig]

nice one bro.... wait for the next vid its 50/50

[@R19Robbin]

Seems like an awesome project car 🔥🔥

[@hoodstig]

thanks rob!

[@bcr1818]

Those chassis legs are gone. This one is going to have a lot of expensive surprises

[@ukultimaterc]

Friend has just scrapped his FQ360, rotten as a pear. Looked lovely on top but underneath was horrific. Most are rotten. Nice project though

[@GTAgamesfans]

That car looks surprisingly original for its past owner count! 👍🏼

[@hoodstig]

That is very true! But have you seen the following videos on how bad the car actually is… brilliant it or not we have re shelled it

[@davidhaygarth648]

Looking forward to this....

[@mtk4158]

Devin niemela is the youtube king of evos. Good to see initiative used here. Its rusty but savable. Back to a bare shell and blast it. If the bays rusty god love your chassis legs

[@hoodstig]

yeah is a legend!!!

[@aqib2000]

Car number 129 was my old baby! It’s got uprated injectors and a bigger fuel pump. Last dyno’d at 630hp with my turbo

[@hoodstig]

jheez sounds mad bro

[@mohammedshahaziz570]

Brother just be on it. I got a 350 evo myself they're high maintenance but worth every effort trust bhaiya

[@Mastertoad84]

Such a shame that jdms suffer with so much rust my mates Mazda 6 mps looked immaculate on the top but the chassis was in bad shape corroded bad. Hope u manage to get it all sorted always loved evos

[@hoodstig]

ups are lovely cars super quick too.... stayed tuned for up coming vids bro

[@ys55tas]

Great video

[@jayryia]

take a pull off of the small strip under the rear window and watch to see if any rust holes formed on the 2 corners.

[@hoodstig]

cheers for the shout bro

[@rickydub6950]

Brutal man but its an Evo 👏 strip the back end completely and get into it with the thinners and flap disc 👍 end result definitely in body colour as others have said.. 🙂 hopefully not too much welding 🤞

[@hoodstig]

nice one ricky will do

[@liamcosgrave5410]

Wow thats a lot of work man. The onoy way do do this properly is yo completely strip ot. Is is clearly going to need a lot of metal work in all the usual spots. I hope you have a lift mate. Good luck

[@hoodstig]

yes good shout... lift is coming soon... deffo restoring

[@craftycasting9578]

i admire your optimism that thing is rotten my 89 sapph cos looked immiculate in comparison and there was still rust hiding in sills and rails i see a fuckload of dust and metalwork in your future hope your a good welder and have a full wallet

[@hoodstig]

yes that's the one my bro!

[@boi9433]

So when are you armor plating it and doing the IED mod

[@hoodstig]

very soon bro

[@TypicalBlue-rq8ri]

Wow what a shame some people don't deserve nice motors glad your going to save it bro 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@hoodstig]

100% bro

[@christoph404]

it snows all year round in Inverness Scotland, so lots of salt on the roads, and if it aint snowing it is raining and if it aint raining there is a fine moisture in the air...so any car that lives there is going to be extremely rusty, just how it is.

[@TypicalBlue-rq8ri]

@@christoph404 there's plenty of stuff you can do to protect your motor from rust in that kind of climate bud and if you have a car that's not the norm then it's worth going thru the hassle.

[@christoph404]

@@TypicalBlue-rq8ri yes sure, not so many people would take the care and effort to try and protect their car from the corrosive climate here in Scotland, but I'm with you on that, it is defo worth the effort if you have a modern classic, the previous owner of this Evo obviously didn't bother their arse to even give it a basic spray of wax oil every year.

yes it had the engine work done at the time was buying..... it was the body work that was all hidden

[@stevenross-watt8640]

​@@hoodstig I'm not knocking you but with a 550 mile journey ahead I'd have been cruising off boost and scared stiff haha. I drove a car down from Aberdeen to central Scotland. I'd just bought it. It was -7°c and midnight. For the first 20 miles I drove at 50mph. Didn't want to be standing at the side of the road freezing to death when I broke it. Anyway, it worked out well for you. Enjoyed your video. Thx. I owned and Evo VI Tommi mak a long time ago. Mega cars.

[@hoodstig]

@@stevenross-watt8640 awww sick enjoyed reading that and i,m 100% going to be taking that advise from now..... glad you got to experience one of the most legendary cars ever made! take care and stay tuned for the next vid.

[@chiefrocka8604]

I’ve rescued a MY2000 Impreza turbo,saloon that got stood in 2008 at 8 years old almost because the keys got lost . The guy who owned it in 08 still owned it in 2022 hence why he just gave up because he couldn’t find the keys . I discovered the car was a rhd Dutch parralel import sold new by a car supermarket in y2k and as such no British key expert could get a key code or immobiliser number. I contacted Subaru Holland who couldn’t care less and said contact Subaru UK who told me to contact Holland, I then contacted Subaru UK again and moaned I’m getting the runaround and what am I supposed to do so I got out onto someone higher up in Subaru UK who told me the infos at the parent company they need to contact Subaru Japan . So after a load of chasing I had the codes and numbers and got a key easily which with a new battery ,plugs, fuel filter and oil change and filter the car started first time in 14 years . I took a massive chance on a 14 min maybe 16-17;year old cambelt not failing but wanted to check it ran before restoring the car and I even managed to drive it home from the garage that got it going. I purchased a waterpump and cambelt kit plus tensioners from ICP and can confirm my belt looked good, the pump too but the tensioner had seized and there was rust on the bearings so I’m glad I got that sorted out . Just a message to say what happens when a cars stood a long time and you chance it getting it going 👍

[@stevenross-watt8640]

@@chiefrocka8604 good story and good resilience on your job to get the new key. Did you get the car much cheaper because of the key issue?

[@LiamStark96]

Also I believe all JDM cars are like this due to the weather in Japan they dont use grit or salt so it doesnt need as much protection as it would (and does) in the uk

i agree liam deffo... i guess we have no choice.... save the japs!!!
