I bought this lovely 1 litre saxo (spree II, not forgetting. Although I removed those cheesy stickers sharpish) on the 23rd of may, a couple of days after passing my test, on my 18th, of all birthdays! Here she is all standard and purdy.. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/579788_10150845837771909_352037273_n.jpg
After a short amount of time, the clutch commited suicide while i was in town waiting at traffic lights.. Very embarrassing but some nice folk helped me push the car off the road.
a new clutch set me back £160 squids...
Driveshaft gaiter needed replacing...

Alrrrrright! So the first thing i did was rip out the old citroen cassette tape player, and replaced it with a good affordable JVC head unit. The second thing I did was stick a big ole sub in the boot, as it is of course essential to aid me in my driving.

It does look a bit out of place but it certainly does the job :)
Took the grille out...

After that i took out the rear lights and sprayed them black tint

Back on the car..

At the moment I'm still waiting for my new alloys to be delivered.. I'm expecting them tomorrow hopefully. Or if not, very soon!
So anyway today i was bored so i decided to tint my indicators! Here it is..

The alloys that I'm expecting are 15" 3 stud wolfrace katanas that i got for a steal at £80 including tyres!
The next thing i want to do asap is lower the french bitch to the floor. Well 40mm at least! I'm shopping around for some springs, and I know someone who will adjust my torsion bar for 30-40ish quid, as I don't trust myself to do it without something going horribly wrong!
So for now that's it! Until my alloys arrive anyway. It's only early days but i wanted to share my progress with you people! hope you like my little surrender monkey! Any comments, ideas and suggestions would greatly be appreciated :fcuk:
