[SaxoMart]

Hey all.
Its been a while since i posted on here (usually just scout around) so heres a quick update on where im at
My 1.1 saxo has gone for those who remember it (VT kit lowered on JBW superlites, check old thread if you wish)
Went a bought a VTR with the money i got back had it around 12months now. i drove it for those 12months and modified along the way but the car is now offroad for bigger adjustments
Anyways this video should bring you up to speed!

Cambelt change
New waterpump
VTS fans in red with on/off switch mounted to dashboard

New rear axle (old one had created its own camber)
Rear grilled and grooved discs and new pads to boot.
Fog lights smoothed (bumper still in prep stage.

Also purchased front drilled and grooved discs and new pads. And finally paid the bodyshop to get my fiberglass smoothed bonnet and smoothed boot finished!

was the fog fillered in?

Looks nice though.

[Dan-Subtle]

Looks good mate although the filler appears to have sunk on the bumper. Did you pay a garage to do the work?

[DavidsVTR]

Morrettes look good aswell. :y:
Suit it well imo
I might have to invest in some ;)

[SaxoMart]

Thanks guys! I very very rarely use any sort of garage all the work gets done in my back garden lol. From engine rebuild to the bodywork. The bumper was me hence why its not perfect but nevertheless im happy with it. Practice makes perfect and all that :)

That's cool mate, wasn't meaning to piss on your fire was just hoping you hadn't paid a garage to do it. Good effort though and looks good with the morettes.

[SaxoMart]

No offence taken bud. Ive only done small things really like side repeaters and door badges. The bumper was always a gamble :) just waiting on my smoothed boot/bonnet to be painted then its all fully smoothed which is hopefully this week
