my saxo on vw bbs splits, retrimmed and smoothed ass forsale 5k ono

[106pete]

ive had this car for nearly 2 years, majority of it spent on my drive in bits, i bought her 3 weeks before a trip to the nuremberg and a week later found a hole in the gearbox and a worn or bent rear axle.

i spent the next 2 weeks stripping it and waiting on bits to fix everything, ended up fitting a 1.1 gearbox cos the scrappy robbing bastard sold me the wrong box, had a right mission trying to press out the old stub pin from the axle but luckily a sneaky trip into work one night sorted that.

the nurberg didn’t go to well, we got to the track early morning and not knowing where we were going ended up in the queue for the track so 4 ppl in the car and wet road ended up in the barrier haha, nothing serious but got the car towed home and decided to rebuild pretty much everything, the damage was minimal, only a bonnet and bumper needed but it spurred me on.

anyway nearly 2 years on and im happy, still got the body work to do, i think itll be in the garage next week if itll go over there speed hump.

[Ryan]

looks great that does, bar the bra

but sure you didnt go to Nurberg? as nurenberg is a totally different place to where everyone goes.

[Gordi]

i love it mate.. really fancy doing something like this with mine. but high miles so dont know if there is any point :( the wheels look ace. all id say if i had to change anything it would be the seats. the standard GTi Leather would look alot more subtle and go better with the syle you have..

car looks mint though good job :p

[Danr]

When are you going to be finishing the back end Pete? Like the badge holes and exhaust space?

Really lets it down but other than that it's the tits.

[blackvtrt]

lush!
what u getting done at the bodyshop? apart from the badge holes covering i guess?
where did u get the exhaust from? is it just a diesel box?

[saxokid100]

Looks very nice,not fan of the bra though....:n:Have you still got your Gti mety?? any pics of it bud.........:y:

[106pete]

yeah i always get nurberg wrong ill change that hehe, the bra's only on to protect bonnet itll come off at shows etc, its a poo fit around the grill may try and get another.

hopfully the bodyshop are doin the rear boot and bumper next week, ive only just taken them off yesterday and found nice scratch marks under them so more of an excuse to do it.

the exhaust is just from the scrappy of a 1.1, probaly restricting it but ill have a custom one done once the bumper is sorted.

not changing them seats i really like them, the all leather one will have alacantra to match the other one.

i never had a gti matey, had a goldy 106 xsi before. that cought on fire cos of a dodgy engine so broke it for bits :(

[Mark51]

very nice mate, id smooth the holes in the boot from the badges and also the cut out for the exhaust and it would look great

[Peejous]

MOAR :y:

Looks lush that does mate.

I actually like the bra.

[Slammed_Posi_Vtr]

Love it, that interior is the sex! Only car i've seen that the bra actually suits too, was it hard getting those rims to fit?

[Ryan]

have you not had scratches from the bra like most people get???

they do more damage it seems than good

[TU-Tuning]

Thats stunning. Love it mate. How come one seat has Sparco embossed in the headrest are and one doesnt?

[davidharvey]

Lovely car. Lets see some underbonnet pics
I dont usually like slammed, but it suits it on those wheels

[philb121]

lookin good m8, but are the two front seats the same or different models.

[Tontsy]

that, is proper sweet man! love it :Y:

[CHIP]

Wait till Lee see's this lol. Looks good matey. Some smoothing of the bodywork will get it mint :y:

[coinboi]

[CHIP]

i know heres me thinking im all original buying these at christmas then when i actually update theres two other people who have done the same thing lol

No offence to anyone, but i think yours will always be one of the top cars alongside with Robbies. Once you've got the rims and interior it will truly be legendary :y:

[saxo98mad]

that looks the the tits mate best looking sax iv seen for a while .

[CHIP]

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/ll155/chipvtr/blackeurochop.jpg

[T4FT]

[chris205]

[TOM_VTS666]

[Danr]

looks absolutely gorgeous that does....im in love

[PSPDan]

Stunning car mate.

[MiniGibbo]

Wheels look mint matey, dont know about the bra though a bit to euro for a saxo.

Matt.

[Jimmy-Boy]

Straight up!!

[Rossi86]

very nice, like it!!

[Sutch]

Very nice, the amount of people saying " I wanna be euro", " I wanna be ..."
You have just done what you want to your car, and looks savage, as mentioned, those few touches on the boot and rear bumper and It'l be sorted.

You're only down in Plymouth so I'll ask, who're you getting to retrim your seat? I have a rear bench that needs doing, but cant get any good prices..

Ed

[106pete]

have you not had scratches from the bra like most people get???

they do more damage it seems than good

ive not had it on long mate and not taken it off yet, i did wonder if it would scratch it up, gonna try to get a custom one made and see how it looks weather it stays or not im not sure.

Thats stunning. Love it mate. How come one seat has Sparco embossed in the headrest are and one doesnt?

yes there different seats but same make and model, i got them at seperate times on ebay and trust me you wouldnt mind at the price, the embossed sparco in one seat is prob something i wont change.

Lovely car. Lets see some underbonnet pics
I dont usually like slammed, but it suits it on those wheels

ive got some recent ish pics ill dig them out now, anything but slammed on these wheels looks wank.

lookin good m8, but are the two front seats the same or different models.

read above :)

i know heres me thinking im all original buying these at christmas then when i actually update theres two other people who have done the same thing lol

what widths you got then pete?

lee is there anything else you want to copy me on? im affraid your just them few steps behind hehe ;)

my wheels are 7.5 front and 8 rear, isnt any room on the rear but maybe another half on the front but then there wud be more poke at front than rear, where did you get the gold bolts from mine are shit quality want some new ones, hope you got ss outters?

i like the fog lights i dont like large areas of smooth panel, just the same as i dont like saxos with everything colour coded just doesnt work for me.

looks absolutely gorgeous that does....im in love

Rims and height are spot on, what kind of coilovers are you running?

my own specials, ive done a write up on coilovers and covers how to do them, also check out my spec page.

Very nice, the amount of people saying " I wanna be euro", " I wanna be ..."

i dont know who is goin to be doin it yet mate, a friend took his golf for a quick bolster retrim to some guy last week and seemed very good price but ill see.

:clapping: ive heard enough about getting the rear done so ive booked it in for monday haha

[Xsi16v_Jk]

Euro as...
Lushhh :D

[106pete]

heres the hole in the gearbox, had a plate rivited on and glue'd, i wondered y the oil came out looking like silver paint!!
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/106pete/saxo/S5000176.jpg

old stub pin from axle, i dont know if the trailing arm was bent or it was just the pin being so worn, not something u expect on a 03 plate with 42k!
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/106pete/saxo/S5000182.jpg

a couple pics of past projects:
track 106, i got sold a duff 16v engine. spent shit loads trying to find out why it didnt have top end power, only found out after it spat out all its oil and a small fire that the sump must have been smashed in and bent the dipstick tube so constantly had 1' to much oil!!
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/106pete/106%20parts%20forsale/9869.jpg

bert, this didnt stay with me for long but if that car never happened what wud lee be rolling on lol?
http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d177/106pete/jays%20shed/S5000720.jpg

no engine pics tho, ill do some tomorrow.

[106pete]

Love it, that interior is the sex! Only car i've seen that the bra actually suits too, was it hard getting those rims to fit?

its quite easy really, just the usual rolling and trimming of the arches and some custom made 15mm hub adaptors, i had them sitting in my room for ages tryed to sell them but no luck haha lucky for me really!

[waites]

i want them wheels lol

[browne174]

i need those wheels in my life :fcuk:

[5AMBO]

i remember seeing a pic of this car about 6 months ago now and fell in love with it, nice to see some more up to date pics mate and im loving it!! Keep up the good work.

I agree with others on the bra too, its about the only saxo i seen that it suits, i dont usually like them.

If you ever wanna sell, drop me a pm.lol.

[PSPDan]

[Chris_O]

[gjs]

[106pete]

had it trimmed by a local custom interior place, need to get some grab handels and sunroof winder from a 106 as there black, wud suite alot better.

[LEE_VTR1]

lee is there anything else you want to copy me on? im affraid your just them few steps behind hehe ;)

my wheels are 7.5 front and 8 rear, isnt any room on the rear but maybe another half on the front but then there wud be more poke at front than rear, where did you get the gold bolts from mine are shit quality want some new ones, hope you got ss outters?

i like the fog lights i dont like large areas of smooth panel, just the same as i dont like saxos with everything colour coded just doesnt work for me.


sorry mr original lol, i never knew about your car tbh, but iv got spec the only spec i see on yours is under the bonnet iv got mine else where so :P lols

iv got my 3 inch rear dishes arriving soon and im getting my bolts re anodized through work at a local metal finish company :D so no more shite faded gold bolts for me :D

and yes i got high polished Stainless dishes lol got to be a pimp now days aint we lol.

i like the standard look to but i also like to carry on lines of the car on like.

also nice digs at me about the suspension and stuff.

[106pete]

dont give me that, u spoke to me in october about the wheels and i believe a month later u had something special planned ;)

spec? whats spec?

im glad uve got stainless tho everyone one ive spoken to with ally dish has seriously regretted it, make sure u put cling film over the gold bolts as you torque them up, saves the anodizing from being damaged.

i was being nice about the suspension, u really shud have asked before telling that guy to by springs when i clearly modded the suspension u have for a good reason, it may seem to simple as alex put it but it works.

bored of my saxo now, if anyone wants to buy it, pm me but u better have deep pockets!

[K17NEY]

pm'd mate

[VTomR]

Love it mate...is it on coillies?

[Lippy]

covers from a c2 vts, i just went to citroen and bought it, some do come up in the forsale section every now and then. they dont need sealing on like the old style and better engine breather apparently :wink:
