From a humble flat arch rag top to a Stunning show standard Tastfully modifed car, To a epic Track spec... But for a few years now iv been confused as to what happend with this absolutly stunning car.. Not being a member on saxp, i hadnt realised the car had been broken for parts and the shell sold on..

Well I stumbled across this car for sale stumped up a , thought i recognised the numberplate and bought it!

[W343NNA]

How she stands today..

and its gutting whats happend....

None the less, its Still a great car, The lads who bought the shell off willsy have done a great job of converting the rear beam engine ecu and full wiring loom from a 2003 vtr , its running 306 gti brakes fully polly bushed solid engine mounts big 3 earthing kit and drives really nice to alot of newer saxos iv owned.

Few bad things i want to sort out Theres a issue with the dials and they keep turning off. The exhaust ( cherry bomb muff diver) is a bit LOUD. the bodywork could do with some attention, full detail and some paint, For peice of mind im going to rip the dash out and have a look at the wiring and replace the alarm ( also the sunroof hasnt been wired in )

But im hoping to shed a new transformation on this car! keep it living

:drink:

[Prickle]

Hopefully you do a good job on it.

IMO since Willsy sold it on its been ruined to say the least.

[W343NNA]

Wrote all that out A couple of days ago, posted it up tonight,

Since then iv replaced the supersprint manifold with with piper 4 into 1 and a full cam racing system

As for the grill, iv got a set of morretes for it Just need to find the colour code and find a decent bodyshop that will get the colour match spot on!

Mathias You'll do well to get it back to it's former glory!!

Its going to take some work, But obviously im going to put my own touch on it transform it again, think im going to keep it 8v for now iv got a feeling that im going to keep this car a while, so maybe in due time, A16v turbo conversion some alterations to the bodywork may bring it back on form ?

But thats dreams lol...

Some parts i have waiting to go in when i get chance

Iv got a choice of wheels mounting up in my garage

speedline turnis
Pro race 1.2s
Vts wheels
oz ultraleggeras ( the same as it had on it )

Morretes

Yellow and black leather interior

Wind deflectors

Smoked jewel rear lights


Parts that will be going on in the next few weeks

Not long finished referbing a set of pro race 1.2s for my mango westy, so im going to give these a try to see what they look like

http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/599247_4209649517767_1331898935_n.jpg

whats the splitter off lad?

[Lewis1600]

I absolutely love your old furio!

cant wait to see what your going to do with this :y:

[GolfJay]

With your history of cars, I give this a month before it's either written, sold or simply ruined!

[W343NNA]

With your history of cars, I give this a month before it's either written, sold or simply ruined!

wise words from you jay correct me if im wrong but did you not shaft your saxo nose first into a wall or a lampost or somthing then bodge it back together? why do you always act like a bellend towards me never done you wrong.. never wrote a car off myself iv had one car crashed into the back of me and i leant amate w343nna and it wa destroyed. not by my self. my mango vts was a shed sold it and kept all the good parts other than that iv still first furio moth balled in my garage a mango mk2 on 43k.. and my westcoasts still on my drive again another tidy mango on low milage and tastfull mods wich is up for sale..

But if you wish me to sink to your leval and compare car history

I belive this was your first car correct me if im wrong i do appologise , Wich you overpaid £1290 for back in 2010, then sold on after you had crashed AND ruind for £650


http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/9687/saxo1.jpg

( sticker bombed your rear view mirror and broke your screen )

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/L1QuiD/e293bd0f.jpg

Then you crashed into the back of a iceland van..

I take back my comment about crashing into a wall or lampost

http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/g439/L1QuiD/f2bddfb1.jpg

Then since then youv bought a golf that everybodys seen, Wich isnt to bad the wheels are marmite but its your tast and the paintjob on them is impressive and look far better than silver,

But other than that you constantly act like a cock towards me and feel you have the right to tell me i "ruin" cars

So lets start..

My first car 2000 saxo furio paid £220 for it off machachinos mate nathan,

http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb5529485/p4pb5529485.jpg

After the year i owned it it went through a few changes

http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb5677414/p4pb5677414.jpg

http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/546872_4654809326484_217994280_n.jpg

http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/247321_4654807686443_920547872_n.jpg

Then i had it up for sale changed a few things to sell it on

http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb6420742/p4pb6420742.jpg

Then driving to riply, Ironicaly to exchange keys on a swap for a fiesta zetec s i was crashed into the back of by a carless driver
http://gp1.pinkbike.org/p4pb6445226/p4pb6445226.jpg

So then absolutly skint and a destroyed car i had to go out and find a new car wich i stumbled across a mango on ebay wich needed work, but was cheap low milage taxed and motd, so i made one good car from the two
http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/227131_2042714585748_4832742_n.jpg

It may look "ruined" now, but thats another story as its a long term project, and judging from most the finished results of my cars, i dont doubt myself on finishing it.. But the mangos another story so now its sat in my garage awaiting time effort for the remaining bodywork and then respray
http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/426194_3439318779980_382182423_n.jpg

I garaged the mango and decided to use it as a project car because i bought a 106 gti didnt really do much to it as i was happy with how i bought it

http://sphotos-g.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/395652_3130033528042_1026841956_n.jpg

Then i bought W343nna, Measly £400

http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/417052_3471124095093_298511896_n.jpg

Had a deadline of a month for fast show to get it looking how i had in mind

finished it the day before
Already posted the best picture i have of it but heres a entrance pic from fast show

http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/560357_3551824312548_1548924941_n.jpg


I then kept this for a couple of months then karls mango came up for sale and i wanted it so i bought it and leant w343nna a freind and through no fault of his this happend
http://sphotos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/p206x206/246489_4023948755364_707047537_n.jpg

So the mango baught it like this..
http://sphotos-b.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/150783_3913625117342_207547755_n.jpg

Transformed it into this kept a few parts and sold it,

http://sphotos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/303391_3993085103792_600618860_n.jpg

when i sold the vts i was going to buy a focus, But then a westy came along To keep me going for a few months, its now for sale
http://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/548179_4276582551051_1377902190_n.jpg

Since the photo iv changed the wing mirrors to standard

[blackie_2k5]

need to remove some of the old pics from the op's i think mate

very pic heavy start and theyre old pics..so distracts a bit

get a few choice pics and give short write up..then move it along to the current car and your plans :y:

[W343NNA]

Ill probably make a new thread when i start working on it bud and have links to willsys threads if he doesnt mind, Just nice to see how its changed over the years.

[GolfJay]

Whoaaaa, i never said any of them was your fault lol Jumping the gun much?

Ps: The Saxo was my 12th car...

[mattknight1984]

How can you keep buying Saxos? The 106 and mango vts were tidy, why not keep one of those rather than selling to buy something worse? Upgrade when you change cars, buy something else!

Good luck with the newest addition in any case.

[Jay_]

The black 106, weiner and the last mango are the only ones I like.

edit and obviously willsys.

[GolfJay]

Again, not a critisism but good looking getting someone to match the colour.

[Bean]

Saw this in flesh yesterday! Pictures don't do it justice! Still looks great in the flesh (apart from the wheels) they're the only thing letting the exterior down! Oh and the grill lol! Caught me in the act on te splitter ting eh Sam haha

[W343NNA]

lol scott steeling my ideas! didnt realise you were on here a
has your mate got a thread ?

[Tom5190]

Lol at this thread im never arguing with you.....

Will keep an eye on this good luck matey.

[W343NNA]

sorry iv probs come across as a but of a twat but this jays never really got a good word to say. its not the same when i used to see him in person used to be a alright lad now iv aired my point if mods want to delete that please do.

[Bean]

lol scott steeling my ideas! didnt realise you were on here a
has your mate got a thread ?

Haha I saw it and thought its gotta be done! All credit goes to you for the idea though ;) no he hasn't yet mate, he's getting it all done body work wise then start the thread I think, and yea man been on a while now

[UKtom]

looks smart mate, if you can get it back to how it was then this will be a minter!! makes me want a saxo again!

[bobertmate]

get this old girl mint again, loved this car soooo much!

[willsy]

Glad to see that the Saxo lives on :-) considering I sold the shell to a lad that lives 5 minutes away from me I have never seen it out and about in the last 2 years.

Really hoping you get it back where it should be.

The paint code is 0069 Lamborghini Corona Yellow.

Ahh thank you!

Yeah hopefully mate! not had much time or effort to touch it just recently

[W343NNA]

Not much of a update few weeks back i fitted some pro race 1.2s in white, Not sure weather to go black tho ( iv got a set of black too )

http://sphotos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/248855_4863401021146_1750167212_n.jpg

Oh and some fuckers stole the GTI spoiler


http://sphotos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/67798_4813297488589_787579401_n.jpg

[Prickle]

jesus!

parked on the street or in the drive?

[W343NNA]

Got home from work about 6, parked on drive, had my tea went back in car to pick misses up about 6.20 - 6.30 instantly saw this white shit lookign at me ( the sealent ) thought wtf... It had been pulled up and cracked the corners and then chucked on pavment... ( my assumption is, thicko pulling up at spoiler broke it then thought fuck that dont want a broke spoiler )

So yeah a little anoyed, will have to get a new one painted up when i have my morretes painted same colour as the car




Quick one, i was all up for doing this car like my photoshop display picture, how ever im thinking it looks really fresh on white wheels colour coded ?

Opinions ?

[LSOfreak]

thats so annoying about the spoiler

im sure its the only saxo on here with a gti spoiler aswel! took a bit of trimming to fit iirc

[Whiskerzz]

Keep the white! I love white wheels on yellow cars !

My mate has a set of white speedlines on his yellow ph1 172

[willsy]

Fuckers! Took me 2 weeks of tweaking to get that Spoiler fitted. The underside skin was removed and the edges trimmed and built back up to match the Saxo boot lid perfectly. Definitely not as easy as stick it on, job done.

Almost a shame they didn't fit it to their car as you'd know straight away no one else had done it

I could tell from looking at it that it had had some work done! if i recall correct the chap i bought the car off said the back window was smashed and he had to remove the spoiler to have a new glass fitted, wich is also a shame a every other window is original and has the reg etched on :(

Ill sort it at some point! i quite like the look of it behind with no spoiler though!

[DickyyDee]

They are some cracking saxos! Nice one fella.

[LSOfreak]

saxos look really odd without a spoiler imo
like somethings missing...

i remember when my mk2 spoiler fell off, at first i thought it didnt look bad and i quite liked it, then i grew to hate it lol

[W343NNA]

have to agree been looking at it at work and its deffo gota go back on having some running issues at the minuet think its idle controll valve and lambda sensor going to take it off the road for winter got to manny saxos atm ( 4 ) still havnt sold my westcoast so im going to stick a vtr lump in that and use it for a bit might have more resale potential with a r in it this is going to stay a vtr too iv got a mango furio in my garage wich im restoring too right heap but iv got an attachment to it if anyone has any ideas for what to do with this please share!

[Southern_saxo]

how much you lower it by and what size wheels and pleeease tell me where you got the lush splitter from :y:

[Jay_T87]

Some sweet motors you've had? Massively jealous of your special edition!,

[W343NNA]

Decided to get my arse in gear and sort out this beast now the weathers getting better,

Early on last month she came out of hibernation so gave her a wash!

Wasnt really sure what to do with this sax, so iv started to sort out the mess its currently in, First off out with the old and update friday with what the new will be ;) :drink:

[marty80]

the possi blue saxo.. what type of front splitter is this mate?

cheers

[willsy]

About bloody time too lol

[Prickle]

Indeed! about time lol. Poor car ¬¬ ;)

[W343NNA]

sadly over the years rot has set in really bad so im going to plate and smooth the engine bay and the rear arches are non existant. also the engine plans to go in i dont feel safe if the cars ever in a accident tpuch wood she wont be buts its going to be having its powerfullest engine yet! so im on the hunt for a full roll cage then time to put my own touch on the bodywork. the front bumper and splitter offf my old furio is being prepped! so if anyones selling a full cage or can recomend me the right place to get one hit me up!

[Prickle]

Im suprised about the rust tbh

[willsy]

Im suprised about the rust tbh

Me too especially if its that bad. The arches were all cleaned out fully and painted, hoped it would have protected it better. How many miles has the shell done now?

[willsy]

Engine bay looks a bit neglected aswel :-( the inner arches were nice gloss back. Does it look like a result of poor care taken when putting the car back together by the last owner causing scratches that have rusted? Front arch sides look like its been offroad as they were all cleaned out when the wings were off at the respray time.

[W343NNA]

i dont want to nock the lads who put the car back together as they were realy frrindly and helped me alot storing the car for a few months / saving it till i had all the money but everything seems to have been bodged its having a full interior and engine loom as therr both bodged / a mess and ill take photos of the rust it looked fine then you could peel the paint back and it was rotten undernieth sadly :/ the front seems better than the back no idea on the milage of the shell as the clocks say 84k and there mk2 digital vtr clocks the electric roof no longer works either dont worry willsy! its in good hands and i have some epic plans! ill be using the wiring loom interior and engine out of my 206 due to the engine thats going in plus will be cool to have the mpg counter out of the 206 lol

[willsy]

Absolutly If i can acheive what i have photoshopped, ( not going to show incase guys with big pockets come along and do it faster than me / steel my ideas ) I have a saxo mango at the back of my garage, wich is a bare shell at the minuet and was going to be this years project, Iv had it since i was 16, But after buying yours iv had some mad ideas and cant keep myself away from it, I plan on working on it after work in the week going to remove all the interior wiring loom from this and do some tip runs with all the shit i no longer need!, Its been thrashed to be fair aswell, the bonnet front bumper and front wings have bad stone chips, So some paint is on the agenda to!, current plan of action is,

Remove the bodykit so i can send that to my mate to store / prep for paint and then paint ready for when iv finished the engine conversion,

Plate and smooth the engine bay, rust treat plate / strengthen the rear arches / boot floor and patches of rust on the underside, then find a really good underseal to do the whole car, Paint the bay yellow and rear arches, buy some solid engine mounts, mount the engine, Rebuild a 1.1 gearbox new bearings make it spot on!, fit the 206 interior loom and fit correct plugs from the saxo loom, electric window motors, etc etc so it all works, Shorten the engine loom / tidy it up ( after a minimal smooth bay ) Iv bought some morretes so they can go with the bodykit for paint, sort out the door hinges and check straps as there realy stiff / creaky, Buy some mk2 struts so i can rebuild them and paint etc, Not sure what shocks to go for, I want to get a fresh set of pollybushes for all round iv bought new wishbones ball joints drop links top mounts already, Get some new drive shafts also got a 106 gti twin fan setup, Cant decide on what exhaust to go for as iv got a nice outwardly rolled powerflow on it now, but its not stainles nor is it shiny so find somthing simular, Iv got a piper 4 into 1 8 valve manifold that iv bought a flange so that i can have it fit my new engine, need to get some new gearlinkages, im thinking constella got some 4 x 108 to 4 x 100 so the wheels i intend to buy will fit ;) looking at opting out for some better front brakes maybe 406 brembos just to be a flash sod but nothing will compair to the beasty ones you had!, No longer going to use the 106 gti yellow and black leathers as i only want front seats now im after a cage, but deffo want some black and yellow buckets ? Where did you get yours from willsy ? iv got a new 106 gti spoiler that will need some seriouse work to make fit again!, and im also looking at differnt roof options as im not a big fan of the whale skin rubber thats standard lol! other than that i hope it actualy works out for me! is there anything you think i should do ?

[marty80]

so couldn't you let us know what splitter u had on the furio.. please?!

[W343NNA]

Spent last night working on the car / attacking rust looks like the engine bay only needs one major bit replacing so far!, Productive night ended up being sat in A&E waiting to have my eye cleaned as i got rust in it grinding lol!, Scratched my cornea so no work for a few days now as iv got a gunky eye :(

Strange feeling isnt it ? like a dull ache :/ and me neither when i turned up to view the car i expected a sunroof winder to open it lol!

[Gandi699]

Its horrible, I had a piece of modelling flock/grit under my eye lid so every time I blinked it was scratching my cornea. It looked like I'd been socked in the eye after a while too

[W343NNA]

Took me a good 10 mins to get the flake of metal out myself then another 40 mins before it was looked at / cleaned by the hospital Doesn't look to cleaver today! and the antibiotic cream makes things worse, Start to taste it after a bit!,

Did you have the orange die put in your eye ? i found i was coughing this up and blowing it out my nose all night! got one yellow nostril lol! tastes horrible

[Gandi699]

I didnt to be fair, but it was a few years ago now. Think I just got eye drops of some kind after they swiped it out after a good look under my eye lid with some machine

[W343NNA]

Oh hiaaa!, Took delivery of this yesterday!

[Bedford126]

That's not bad tbh I seen a hell of a lot worse mate. Mine was gone there too.

[W343NNA]

Got a nice imaculate 206 shell to cut up and use for its rear arches lol ! the front ends pretty good for its age! just a ball ache looks as if the extra effort gone to painting it has sealed in moisture ?

[W343NNA]

Sooo today i spotted these for sale and for the price of them i couldn't say no!

[OllieVigar]

Niceee. Sorted that rot yet?

[W343NNA]

took the wire brush on the angle grinder out and took it down to metal, plan on cutting out some of that section then welding in some fresh metal, Its not to bad caught it just in time as its started to split the boot floor about 1cm wich means the support bar is cracked too oh the joys, iv fixed worse! this car shall live on!

[willsy]

Bloody ell rust doesn't take long to set in once it starts does it. Was no sign of it atall when I originally painted the arches, having said that its probably been 3 years since I owned it and was probably close to another 2 years prior to that when the arches were painted.

Glad it is being fixed though mate and hasn't deterred you from the juicy plans for it

[W343NNA]

not a chance is it stoping me i want it done for fcs!! its been sat for a good two years and then a good 8 months in my garage :/

[Prickle]

Taster pics! Im in love aha really trying to put my own style into this car, took most ther interior out tonight ready for fitting the 206 wireing loom thinking of putting the aircon in too but sort of defeats the object of the roof aha

[GolfJay]

I mean it in the least dickish way but as much as I love the wheels, they look too big to me. The arch is sat on the tyre but its not at all low.

Amazing wheels though!

[moonstonechris]

is that touching cos if it is the paints gonna get ruined and isnt there a law about how far a wheel can protrude the arch as above dont want to be dickish lol, i love the wheels :)

[GolfJay]

is that touching cos if it is the paints gonna get ruined and isnt there a law about how far a wheel can protrude the arch as above dont want to be dickish lol, i love the wheels :)

The law is:

The top centre point of a wheel can be no more than 30mm out of the arch
The tyre tread MUST be within the arch.
A tyre must NOT make contact with the arch

I'm looking at the gap between the will and floor. And it needs raising yet! Its going to be higher than Prickles was prior to lowering!

[W343NNA]

Pshhfft the law is ask me the question before slapping a i already know all that downer on my thread its boring ahah hush hush i cant mirraculasly do bodywork overnight! i have it planned and i dont want it "slammed" but im not raising it either its not about being low just because iv got huge dishes its nit a vw afterall plan is the bring the arches out and get a bit more stretch stay tuned :)

[GolfJay]

I really hope you do. It'll look immense if you pull it off. Personally though, it has got to go at least relatively low to work on polished 3 pieces.

[W343NNA]

Well actualy after looking at it again i think i want it about 2 inch lower plan is to cut more out of the metal arch behind bring the arches out further same woth the sideskirt add a bit that comes out to match and also cut and extend the rear bumpers width going to take my time wanted it done for fcs but had some crazy plans and done some epic photoshops!

[LSOfreak]

i was thinking this aswel. At first i thought the front of the car would be jacked up, the ground clearance is huge!

plans sound good though, hope you pull it off

[wadoryu]

To let you know, it was almost undrivable when James had these fitted, He had to have bigger arches.

[benJee_VTR]

Awesome progress mate, subscribed :y:

New wheels really suit it :)

[W343NNA]
