Sup guys, Heres my new toy :A: had the saxo a few week now but slowly been getting on with tidying it up so thought id start a progress thread.
The cars a Topaz Gold VTS, Bought it for a decent price a few weeks ago from a friend. Plan was just to find a cheap motor to get me to and from work etc and give my other car (Astra sxi) to the wifey as we have just had a little girl and she needs to get about whilst im at work. Fortunately for me 'by chance' a mate rang me and at the end of the conversation randomly asked if i wanted to buy his VTS, so a few minutes later after i gave it some thought i said id take it off him.
So here i am now with a saxo and on here :P
My mate had already stripped it partly, fitted lightweight buckets and harnesses, 4-2-1 mani, de-cat and scorpion backbox and smoked the headlights. So that was a few jobs ticked off my plans list :)
So heres the plans, although they could be slow to progress as the family are my first priority money wise.
-General Bodywork Tidy-up
-Repaint wheels
-Replace Grille With Standard Item
-Sort 2nd Lambda out
-New Steering Wheel
-Carbon or Perspex Door Cards
-Tidy-up Engine Bay
-Smoked Rear Clusters
-Quick Shift
-Polybush Everything!
-Paint Stripped Out Rear
-New Rubber
-Suspension (preferably Billies)
-6 or 12 point SD Cage (from the group buy hopefully!)
-Throttle Bodies
-Management etc
-TRACK TIME!
Sure iv probably missed a few things off that list but ill update as and when shit happens.
So here she is the day i picked her up
