This is my 3 stud 1.0L T-reg Saxo, 69k on the clock, picked it up for £550 (private sale) as well as managing to get the next 12 months MOT on top off the seller. Upon closer inspection after buying the motor it turns out its been fitted with VTS steering wheel (with airbag) rear door cars (with the rear speakers) and the MkII Dashboard (preferably aim to change this to the 106 dash).
Im 18 on tuesday and work only both days of the weekend so money is not abundant by any means, the changes i have made to this saxo have been through complete bargains...
Since buying the car i have;
Removed the stickers
Sprayed badges satin black
De-Wipered it
Picked up a 12" Alpine Type R, JBL 6 x 9's + Sony Xplod 1200w amp for £90 (Fitted)
Picked up 4 brand new tyres with 4 flawless 3 stud saxo alloys for £90 (Not yet fitted - Still rolling on hubs whilst on provisional)
Pair of tinted saxo rear lights - Scrapyard £20 (Not yet fitted)
Replaced stock interior (blue, had some paint stains and burns) with a spotless 106 Gti Interior (black / grey / gold) £20 off a mate (Fitted)
Replaced barry job mdf parcel shelf with 106 gti parcel shelf, same mate, £10 (Fitted)
Replaced the clutch with the help of a friend £60 for clutch kit (Fitted)
Picked up a whole set of VTR panels front and rear bumpers included in Black for £30 (Not yet fitted, aiming for White / Black two Tone after i pass)
Gave her a good wash, colour restore, polish and bumper restore..
Next on list is too Replace the bonnet which was clearly black once before but aero soled white and not laqured as well as the front left quarter panel which has a couple of mouldy dents ... if anyone knows anyone selling either of these panels in white get in contact!
Here are some pictures of how i bought it, mouldy green theme;

I will take a more recent picture of the interior soon, plans are too get rid of the rest of that nasty green on the door cars and dash and just go Black / White, going to take up all the carpet and roof lining + door pillars - coat of primer and few coates of satin black, i have already done this with the badges, fan covers on either side of the dash, saving for collies so will have it on its arse when i can afford it. Like i said this my first car and has been built on bargains with money earned by shite pay weekend work and other things here and there, definatly not mum + dads money, cant stand that.
Let me know what you think, suggestions, comments or something.
