thought i would finally get round do doing a progress thread on my car. i bought it in november 2005 for £600, it was a N reg 1.2 8 valver :o




it came with a spaxo spoiler, m3 sideskirts, gsi bumper and a few other little bits. it also had a few rust spots on the bottoms of doors and a few dents here and there so i booked it in at the bodyshop and decided i wanted a car with a bodykit but to still look classy and not in your face :D

while it was in the bodyshop the first time :o











once they had it all painted they dropped it off at my work place on a trailer and it was back at the body shop that week :( you could see the filler lines where they had done the roof rails (not even welded them), outlines of doorhandles, no laquer in some places :o and loads of imperfections.







once it was back at the bodyshop, about 3 months later :| it was ready this time it looked a lot better and i took it away that day. when my boss drove it home for me i had fitted my carbon bonnet that night and the catch came off which resulted in me needing a new windscreen lol but once it was home things started getting better :D firstly got my standard rear lights in and gave it a really good clean up to get rid of all the dust

heres the pics











i then started doing little bits to it slowly as im an apprentice mechanic on £80 a week:( lol.

i fitted my astra G smoked side repeaters, tigra scuttle panel :cool: and bonnet pins :D which i will be painting black as they stand out a wee bit too much.









then purchased and loosley fitted my purple and cream leather interior and a few black dash parts off danweilman :thumbs: will be coming out again soon as i will be sound proofing the whole car.







more progress pics soon to follow :thumbs:
