I remember this car, blast from the past.

Looked ace and fair play for doing the work yourself have you got any photos of when it was featured?

Pictures get all a bit messed up tbh

but the storey goes the roof rails started to crack as the bodyshop just used filler rather than welding it as i had asked

drove down to max power in 04 i think and manaed to read end someone at the lights wasnt paying attention so had to drive around birmingham to find new headlights at some dodgy scrap yard type place. Was full of imigrants that couldnt speak english

so got some new lights and tied the number plate to the crash bar and set off home on the sunday. Got home no problems.

any way some damage



bumper was all cracked

bonnet was fucked

so

new bonnet and i cut a vent in



bumper was a bit of a mess but i managed to get it fibre glassed back to gether and a bit of filler and was hunky dory

On to the interior

clocks were stripped down and brushed alu face fitted, also binned the blue dials for some white ones and painted the needles red









managed to crack the face when taking them to bits so had to buy a new one

also set about making some speaker pods

stripped the door pockets down then made a mdf frame



It was filled with expanding foam then trrimnmed and fibre glassed over



Trimmed the back in black viynl before putting them back together

All fitted





Trimmed the door cards front and rear along with all the pillars aswell cant find any pics of that though

one before speaker pod fitted




The more observant will notice there is also no window winder now as i fitted some electric windows

Also fitted an electric sunroof


Also took inspiration from beardys v6 corsa with the tv and display moved to the passenger side







Also had some corbeau recliner bucets fitted along with esparco harnesses

then i though i would make a new boot floor with wee cubby hole for small tool kit and a can of tyre weld















made wee lugs to screw the 2 halfs together then folded a small cut out in the carpet back over the screw head

When at the back i though i could do something with the boot panels seen as i now had no parcel shelf, so cut off the lug hinges and the supports and fibre glassed over them.



then trimmed them with suede like material same as the doors, cant find any pics though
