[badasssaxo]

how long has it been in that place??


300 years??

whats all the crap round the grill??, the back box looks like it came from a disused submarine base lol, other than that looks ok

[carlsmith715]

i personally dont like the backbox its too big and i think it was the guys attempt to hold the grill on. it was a bitch to get it off tho and it was sat for two years
i only payed £80 for it

[badasssaxo]

well £80 is a steal, but yeah lose the back box and hopefully clean up round that grill it will look great

[carlsmith715]

thanks. i been cleanin the grill today took me ages to get it off and also the engine a non runner i think the battery flat atm so i dont know

[P311ATT]

Agree with badasssaxo exhaust is a no no!! car looks buff though with abit of love :p

[carlsmith715]

been cleaning off the grill this how it looks at the moment.

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/09022011246.jpg

i also dont know if this car is a runner or not but i came across this wire that was just hanging doing nothing. anyone know wat it is.
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/09022011244.jpg
by the way the wire is on the gearbox

[vtrjoey]

you cant grumble a £80

[carlsmith715]

i know yeah i think its a bargain even if i cant get it running but i dont see why it wont start. does anyone know wat thhis wire is its only about a foot long
thanks

[carlsmith715]

does nobody know wat this wire this if anyone can help i would be greatful

[RS291]

Looks nice but I woul get rid of that sunstrip looks a bit tacky but otherwise good buy for less than a tonne

[jmwilliams]

Lush that is, I think tint strip instead of sun strip would be nicer though...

[carlsmith715]

thanks but im not to bothered about how it looks at the moment do u know wat the wire is for from the gearbox.

[carlsmith715]

what you guys think comments good and bad welcome

[anton_sax_machine]

Im liking the back bumper but needs filling (not with two giant back box's though) nice duel back box would sit just nice in there!! looking nice mate good progress!

[carlsmith715]

when you say a duel exit do you mean two on one side and not both sides if you get me

[stevie_t]

fair play to you looking a lot better already

[carlsmith715]

its just something to do for me at the moment may look totally difeent when finished
just trial and error at the moment

[stevie_t]

ive got a silver furio have a peek at my progress if you would like some ideas m8

[carlsmith715]

mite as well i been looking at loads and getting ideas recently haha

[stevie_t]

mite as well i been looking at loads and getting ideas recently haha

i havent got any recentish pics up lately but ive gone the silver gloss black and orange theme

[carlsmith715]

i will be getting it sprayed aventually but im unsure of what colour to go yet
i was thinking bright white or maybe a relly nice red but i dont know

[stevie_t]

white :y:

[anton_sax_machine]

Just did a quick edit for you to show you what i mean and smoothed your boot them marks were annoying me haha!!

http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l483/anthonybrumwell/SAxodual.jpg

[carlsmith715]

yeah think i should do it white then thats what ive been thinking since i got it but ive been unsure lately

[carlsmith715]

Just did a quick edit for you to show you what i mean and smoothed your boot them marks were annoying me haha!!

http://i1120.photobucket.com/albums/l483/anthonybrumwell/SAxodual.jpg

that doesnt actually look to bad thanks and thanks for goin over them marks aswell they annoy me haha

[anton_sax_machine]

Haha np dude! i just think it would fill the gap with out going to boy racer and gay lol

[carlsmith715]

yh i hope it doesnt look really boy racer when im done its not the look im goin for
although i dont know the look im going for to be honest

[anton_sax_machine]

haha! go euro your already heading that way!!

[carlsmith715]

yh but i have stripped the interior out and so on or does that not matter
and what is euro exactly im unsure ive seen loads of different cars saying they euro and they look nothing like what i got told euro was so im unsure weather i been told wrong or the people are doing there car wrong

[anton_sax_machine]

Tbh i don't think many people know what euro look is including myself ha!

106 mirrors
50mm lowered (sat just nicely)
Dished alloys or banded steelies for something different
You have already smoothed your front bumper..

Thats just my opinion dude... from what i have seen i think what ever you decide to do with the car will look nice!

[carlsmith715]

thanks mate im unsure of what it is aswell
i fort it was like standard but modified in a way and smooth

and i hope it looks nice when done aswell

[carlsmith715]

received my engine loom and got it started finally haa
pic of the engine
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/13052011538.jpg

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/17052011551.jpg
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/17052011541.jpg
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/17052011540.jpg

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/17052011552.jpg

comments welcome

[carlsmith715]

also the head light wireing was a little messy when i got it (angel eyes)
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/09022011245.jpg

this is how it is naw
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/13052011537.jpg

[carlsmith715]

took my dashboard out to remove the sound proofing from behind it
much easier than people have said it is
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/18052011553.jpg

i think somebody has been messing with all the wiring that goes to back lights is it seems abit short and not run properly
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/19052011560.jpg

[ForteChris]

liking this thread real progress :) and for some reason as soon as i saw ur back box and rear bumper i thought of this saxo maybe a idea for u plus its red :y:

http://i911.photobucket.com/albums/ac317/crispy91/redsaxo.jpg

[carlsmith715]

thats not too bad but i dont know if i mkeeping the backbox yet as i havent actually herd it running properly as its got some idle problems and i need a battery

[shannon-ob]

Like the car mate, not keen on wheels or rear bumper and exhaust! Such a bargain though! Keep up the great progress!

[carlsmith715]

i got the wheels thrown in a deal with my bucket seats for £40 so i took them they look better in person than pics and yeah the exhaust i think is a bit too big to be honest

[shannon-ob]

Hmm not too bad then, you're good at finding the bargains ;)

[carlsmith715]

i know you just have to wait and haggle abit but it does help that i got mates who mod cars and change there minds all the time

[shannon-ob]

Haa yeah that really does help!!

[rob_s]

Could look quite smart this

What part of Manchester you from?

Makes me miss my 106 seeing projects lie this take shape!

[carlsmith715]

i got some thin blue carpet from a guy on ebay that messed about abit so i got it for £10

http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/13062011588.jpg
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/13062011586.jpg

its just enough for floor fr now but going to do up sides and get some race door cards in future for the gaps

i ordered a laguna splitter cut for a saxo from ebay a month ago only just arrived other day and its not cut for saxo its not long enough on the sides but its wide enough
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/22062011594.jpg
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/22062011595.jpg
so this will not be getting fitted unless i can do something about it

[carlsmith715]

[carlsmith715]

so its been slow progress since i started working as i dont get time to do any work on it so
i got myself some mirrors from a member on here not colour of car but plan is to get respayed anyways so i dont mind
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/01072011602.jpg

also got some spray glue for my interior carpet and started that
but i was abit unsure weather to get a false floor to make it flat in the back but i started to lay carpet anyways and actually like it how its come out
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/06072011604.jpg
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/06072011605.jpg

also i cut my front arches down and folded a lip over so it not a sharp edge and will get undersealed and sprayed when vt arch is fitted back to wing
http://i1212.photobucket.com/albums/cc448/carlsmith715/06072011606.jpg
hope it wont scrape now
