As it says in the title this project will be very slow as I've not got much money but thought someone might want to look at it

When i got the car the head gasket was on its way out so me and my mate sorted that, that was my first mechanical experience apart from changing oil

How I got the car minus the alloys and de-badging as they are the first things I did before I took pictures!

After a lot of elbow grease getting rid of rub strips and some colour coded mirrors from rob_zetec. (Thank you!)

Plans for future,
Lower it (Getting springs for my birthday)
Have wheels refurb'd and sprayed gloss black
Smoked side reps
DIY Depo's
Smoked back lights
All plastics sprayed gloss black
Spoiler
2L brakes
Yellow calipers
Black bonnet? Mine is a bit rusty!
Sport interior

Ive already got the caliper paint

just waiting to afford the brakes!

Im working on the spoiler, im in contact with rob_zetec on here but he is on holiday at the moment and he has a boot with spoiler and two doors (both of mine have rust in)
And the wheels, im waiting for the tyres to run down, then take them off to bang a bend out in one and refurb and fill in some of the deeper kurbs

Its not like I can afford a new set lol, really wanted some cesaros but like I said before, there are none around and these were cheap from a scrappy and I dont think they look that bad, a lot better black though

Working on it though!

And thanks for the comments guys

Makes me wanna get stuff done quicker

The fuck are you on about Dixon? They suit the car just fine and look decent in silver.

I painted them on the car because I'm lazy and couldn't be bothered to take them off and my son was being a pain and we probably would have needed the car! lol

Thank you, I think thats the best picture!

Nah it wasnt fiddly at all, just dont put to much on at once otherwise it will dribble down the caliper lol! I didnt paint my drums, dont like them very much

Next thing on the list will either be sprayed arches and black bits gloss black and wheels gloss black too. Just gotta get the money together, oh and the smoked lights and side reps
