thanks for the comments guys :)

Yeah mark, they can be used for the rear, but there's no point unless they're clear rears :)

Got a few stickies through the post today:

Just want to get pressed plates and sort the bodywork now

pressed plates will look good no doubt. cars looking clean.

car looks really nice mate....looks sooo much better from when you began...good progress....like the stickers too!!

Thanks mate, i'll be collecting them from Bedford when i get back from holiday next week :)

Cheers man, yeah i think lowering has made the world of difference. Yeh, i like the stickers too, spesh the speedbumps one..had a few close calls lol.

running out of ideas now, any suggestions? lol

sweet ride mate :)

Thanks :y:

Thats one of the nicest engine bays ive seen
nice one :y:

Nice wee car mate

Look well well better than wat it did tbh! ;)

Thanks mate, glad you like the engine bay :)

Yeah dan, i got the stickers from volkswagenstickers.co.uk
Iv got loads of those smilies that i dont want. They were in fast car. They're yours for a quid :P
My plans are to get road legal metal pressed plates next. Then VTS alloys at some point. Running out of mods! lol

Thanks claire, i think so too, glad its looking how i want it to now its been dropped :y:

u no what to do matey..

then get a new exhaust on ther..

Nice engine bay.. nice car overall mate

im liking it.

looks really good what bodywork needs doing on it? looks pretty mint to me!

Yeah, i might do.. still indecided. Exhaust will stay for the minute too, fits the recess quite nicely now, but would like something quieter...

Thanks mate glad you like it :)


Cheers rob, there's a few niggly bits i see when i clean it, like dings in the bonnet, little flex in the door pillar, crack in rear bumper etc. Thanks for the comment :A:

quality mate reli like it :D

looks lush mate! :y:

Thanks for your comments :y: Gotta get some new updates to live up to the title of the thread :P

True to my word, i have a nice update for this page :) i havent got any pics yet, but it cost £150, and only just fit in the car :P Pics as soon as i take some :P

A sneaky pic related to the update:



:A:

PS: Spaniel unrelated to update

lol at ur signiture :P glad you like my compliment - what induction kit you got mate?

im seriously thinkin about buyin a vtr for cheap (standard) and keeping it in the garage and havin it as a project car and stoping the mods im doing to the motor ive got now. theres just alot of things i wana do to my car but couldnt afford to do them. Now im working full time again, i recon i can.

haha no worries, thought it was sig worthy :P I have no idea what the carbon induction kit is, bit it has a green cotton filter. No idea of the brand of the enclosure, trying to find out myself lol.

just read the whole way through lol great mate really mean it just gives me more insparation to get mine done also likeing the polished bits ;)

ive found a vts carbon fiber enclosure like yours but its for a vts and i duno if itll fit ma furio... *sighs and wishes his engine was a vt*

how hard is it to swap an engine , 1.4 furio - 1.6 vtr lol i might buy a new engine next weekend

honestly this is one the nicest saxo ive seen so far every thing is done nice every where on the car the engine bay looks epic top job m8 nice to see people spend that amount of time and efort on a car and to share it with us nice one:y:

Ah right, you have any pics of it? might be able to help. The induction might fit, with a bit of modding, but im not sure myself. I would have thought swapping the furio engine for a vtr wouldnt be too bad for someone mechanically minded, with help, but you'd need an engine hoist and a fair few hours spare lol. tbh i wouldnt bother for a vtr engine, the difference from the furio to vtr isnt a massive amount..especially for the effort. I am considering a vts conversion in a year or two on mine, purely because of all the work ive put into this car, plus, i know what's been done to my car, whereas if i buy a new vts, id probs have to do everything ive already done to the 's lol.
Good luck if you do get it though, keep me posted :y:

Thanks a lot mate, glad to hear it motivates you :) i always wanna go and have a play with it when i read other people's threads too :P

Wow thanks mate, glad you like it! im gonna have another go at getting the rocker cover a bit more polished soon, few rust spots are coming through :oops: Yeah, people say i wont get my money back with everything that i do to it, but i dont think its all about getting my cash back, its a hobbie imo :y: cant see myself selling anytime soon :)



Right, i have a day off tomorrow so i will get some good pics of the freshly cleaned car with my new GTI Leathers :hug:

Can't find my camera so pics will have to wait :( also, possibly getting a mauritius vt kit

dont know wat it is about this car but i really like it lol but yea you wont get all of oyu money back but its a good hobie looks sweet startin to do my mrk two soon been doing audio but this has given me some great ideas nice one ;)

your car look awsome mate, wish i had the money to make mine as nice

Thanks mate, hopefully a few new updates to come in the next few weeks.

Thanks for the comment mate :) I don't make too much from work, i just only spend my wages on the car lol. No distractions lol. Plus i work in a car parts shop, so most of it comes cheap :oops:

wow just read the thread start to finish.... amazing to see the progress.... cars looks awesome.... keep up the 2 tone :D

Hey mate :y:

Just read your whole thread.

i only have one thing to say;

YOUR CAR IS MY FAVE TWO TONE ON THIS SITE. ;):D

Cheers buddy, glad to hear it :oops: and thanks for your comment :D

Update

Right got some pics of my new GTI Leather, and a few pics from a cleaning sesh today.

I used Meguiars Soft wash gel applied with Megs soft wash mit and dried with Autoglym chamois. Then used Lucas Paint Gloss Intensifier and finished with Meguiars Carnauba Wax. I used Autogylm Traffic Film Remover to clean the wheels with Autoglym Show and Shine on the lacquer, with Meguiars Hot Tyre Shine as the tyre dressing. Cleaned all the sills and innards too.

For the leather, i used Kleeneze Leather Cleaner and Meguiars Gold Class Leather Conditioner. Autogroom Foaming Upholstery Cleaner on the Alcantara.
Meguiars Ultimate Trim Detailer on the dash and plastics.

Pics:

Have also ordered my pressed plates from Dubmeister too, so hopefully will receive them in time for TRAX.

To do before TRAX:

- fit pressed plates
- get bumpers sitting more flush
- remove rear diffuser
- re-polish rocker cover
- touch up any body imperfections

That's all for now
