Admiral Blue 1.1
Lowered 60F:45R on Apex shocks and springs
S1 Rallye Steelies in need of a refurb
Bodywork is about to be cleaned up, dented by the only previous owner an old lady haha.
80,000 miles on the clock but runs perfect and has never gone wrong, very reliable car.
Plans: Debadge and dewiper boot, Colour Code Front badge, Sort out bodywork, Refurb Steelies, Yellow headlight bulbs, possibly smoked headlights and indicators but undecided! Want to keep this thing looking retro, want it to be something different!
Will try and keep this updated, Please comment on the car and on future plans :)

You realise you might possibly have one of the first Saxos to be released in the uk!

[JamieFozzie]

Thanks Jayline, and I know it is one of the earliest ones produced! Please comment on what you think of it, cheers

[jeffchiz]

should get some deire bumpers/sidestrips, smoked headlights/fogs some sort of front splitter with the de-badges boot would look good

[GTuff]

@jeffchiz your ideas make me wanna cry, u in ox soon?

[JamieFozzie]

Was thinking either fogs in this bumper or a vt bumper with fogs. What do you think? Smoked headlights I agree would look good, will put some bright yellow bulbs in. Im getting the Debadge and dewiper sorted in the next few weeks.
What do you think about the grille? I'm thinking just colour code the badge

[GTuff]

Yea mate u shud keep the early grill mabe a smoothed one as I. The same as jeffchiz has if you gonna debate rear will be keeping it the same

[jeffchiz]

i was just gonna mention my grille, the chevrons been cut out and smoothed

tuff- i was in ox the other day but was very rushed :( will be back once more near the end of the month

[JamieFozzie]

I like the smooth grille! How hard was it smoking those headlights? and what do you think about smoked indicators if i'm doing the headlights? I think it would look good and I need to buy some new indicators too!

[Steelies]

Looks really nice, great choice on the steelies.

easy doing the headlights, an afternoons work and just need a bit of sand paper and a can of matt black

im not a fan of the smoked indicators, imo you'd only get the smoked indicators so they match the headlights BUT the smoked ones you can buy are much darker than the leadlights so you end up with the same problem but the other way round having the indicators darker than the headlights and you just paid £30 for the priviledge so unless i see some lighter smoked items then i wont be getting any

heres a pic of LSO's ith them, i think they are too dark

[chris-hall-yo]

looks nice mate! another decent flatty for a change

[JamieFozzie]

@steelies Thanks a lot mate!!
@chris_hall_yo cheers pal, nice to hear that!
@jeffchiz thanks for the advice! I will definitely do the headlights then. And good point about the indicators they are darker, undecided yet wether I want them, I need new ones anyway as the current ones are cracked. Tbf I think I prefer them to standard even with the contrast

[saxplee]

looks good and 1996 WOW!!! i was 2year old when the car came out of factory lmao!!!


plans sound good aswell :)

Thanks Lee! And yeah it's an old one, but mechanically still perfect as im it's second owner!

[JamieFozzie]

What do people think of rallye steelies in grey or black?

[m11ler]

Nooo they have to be white!

[JamieFozzie]

Any recommendations for headlight bulbs? Was thinking Nokya Hyper Yellows?
Thanks

[JamieFozzie]

Got a new bootlid off eBay for a tenner that I'm going to Debadge. Needs respraying. But at the moment it has a vts spoiler on it, undecided wether to take it off or not? I'm thinking take it off. Any opinions? Cheers

Cheers mate! I will keep it up to date! I'm away at the moment but in the next few weeks will be fixing and respraying wings, touching up door, respraying debadging dewipering bootlid, smoking headlights, refurbing steelies with new caps, fitting new headlight bulbs, new indicators, colour coding front grille and then possibly fitting a vt bumper with fogs!
So certainly a few things to be getting on with!

[littleblue1]

keep us up wind with everything mate!

Made progress today, been sanding and filling a bootlid I bought of eBay. Filled in the holes below the badges and sorted some dents.
Got 3 coats of primer on now
It's got a vts spoiler on which I wasn't sure about but it's grown on me a lot!

[greyjasper51]

First words of first page...

Admiral blue...

[LSOfreak]

love that silver saxo ;)

is yours an L reg saxo?

[JamieFozzie]

love that silver saxo ;)

is yours an L reg saxo?

Nope that's a private plate

[greyjasper51]

Imo those rallye wheels need a paint.... But not brilliant white, just like a dull white.. So there smart but not screaming out "whoo hoo im standing out too much!!"

Just my opinion...

That's on the to do list pal, they are crying out for it, just busy doing everything else! Will do them like a smooth white

[greyjasper51]

What about some fogs?

[JamieFozzie]

What about some fogs?

Plan is vt bumper with fogs, possibly yellow

[JamieFozzie]

Had someone open there door onto my car and dent it in a car park, does anyone know the best option for getting out a small dent under the rear window?

[greyjasper51]

Interior door card off and gentle push from inside...

That's a good shout will have a go tomorrow

Maybe get a mate to get a hair dryer or hot air gun to warm area up a little... Then push, only if its fairly small...

[JamieFozzie]

Yeah it's only small just annoyingly along the crease in the bodywork which makes it noticeable

[greyjasper51]

Personally i would be doing it with heat, especially along a body line...

[JamieFozzie]

That looks tidy for a mk1, nothing OTT either. Any plans for a power plant swap?

No real idea but probably not as I won't make the money back when I sell it. When I can get insurance for something quicker I'll buy something else!

[jamie281093]

looks real nice, but i think maybe some colour coded mirror caps would help finish it off, its not been over done, i wouldnt go too far with the modding, might ruin it ;) haha

Thanks mate I'm sourcing some 106 mirrors for it, will either keep them black or colour code them!
I'm not doing much more just tidying up, adding nice extras, won't chav it up don't worry.

[JoeHindle]

This is a wicked little car :y: love how good the colour match is on the bootlid!, personally I love 106 mirrors, I had them on both my old Saxos, colour code the caps and it'll look top :y:

[jayline]

this is a pure beauty!!! all it needs now is a 2" back box and your done! what an amazing example of a mk1.

[jonesyFX]

Nice car mate, glad to see you have kept it subtle and not chav OTT :)

Keep it up!

[JamieFozzie]

Cheers mate that's what I'm going for!

Thanks man, the exhaust would possibly be a nice touch when I get the funds!

Yeah I'm really happy with the bootlid! Oh right nice I am definitely keen to get them. Cheers pal!

[JamieFozzie]

Whilst I'm respraying the rallye steelies got these old boots on haha

[Xplodee]

Bodywork looks very tidy, Keep it up dude.

[JamieFozzie]

Got the first coat of paint on the rallye's after spending ages flatting them, and ordered some of the Peugoet centre caps as they look really smart!
Future plans: colour coded 106 mirrors, possibly some yellow headlight bulbs? Sort out the interior. Anybody done anything with their interior that they would recommend?

[JamieFozzie]

Resprayed Rallyes with Peugeot caps:

[Whiskerzz]

man that looks pretty sweet!

Just get yourself some colour coded side strips and bumpers (VT on the front) and it will be perfect imo

[jeffchiz]

Very nice dude I miss my rallye steels I've always been tempted to spray the headlight inserts yellow to give it the retro look should give it a go along with some yellow fogs and maybe tint the front indicators Orange could be to many colors but could look good
