Had a look at your thread, the grill does look nice. I'm gonna do the same or. Colour code it and then uise some black mesh to de-slat it |
Bump! :P

Needs lowering, and a bigger engine. Then it will be sorted!

i dont earn enough to pay for such things at this time, and seeing as the claim on my insurance from the crash i had in the silver saxlow has come to £20,000 i dont think i'll be able to insure anything with a bigger engine for a while lol |
£20'000!!!! What did you do!!!
Cripes! Well you can get it lowered for little monies, just go down a bit and stay on standard shocks to save cash. It will look alot better. Just 40mm all round will look nice and will be fine to be honest on standard shocks. And you dont have to tell the insurance company if you put a VTR engine in there... :oops: Looks the part though! |

and yea i think i will be going 40mm at some point but i'd rather get the body work sorted for now, maybe a vtr/s engine some time in the future |
bump bump bump :P

looking good mate, your plans sound good, keep up the good work and i will see you soon...
|
defo mate, have another photoshoot with a decent camera haha
|
ok changes have been made to the plans, going to be doing repair work on the car on saturdays now rather than having the car in the body shop all week, decided i dont really want to be off the road for that long at the moment, should have pretty much all of it done this saturday though, i'll upload some before and after pics as the progress happens
|
ok so the before and after pics wont be happening because i forgot to take my camera to work and my phone doesnt want to sync with the pc, but progress has begun. photo's to follow within the next few hours :)
|
looks good, best colour for a saxo imo.

Looking good mate, carnt wait for my turn lol
|
Good progress mate!.. love the colour aswell ;)
|
posibilty of the car being finished this saturday if my boss lets me have the day off on friday to work on the car, will update on his answer tomorrow :) keep the comments coming please folks, and should i do the spoiler in icelandic grey or gloss black like the roof?
|
what was your bosses answer mate!
|
turns out my boss doesnt sort the holidays out and someone else who had already finished for the day does, gonna have to ask in the morning. was rather annoyed as i'd had to wait right until the end of the day to ask as well haha
|
Ice grey FTW! Good job so far mate! spoiler will look best black imo
|
Gonna look good once its finished mate :y:
|
Morning bump :P
|
cars lookin good pal
|
Looking good, be nice to see it when its all done :)
|
Boss gave me the day off work so the runway is clear for me. Spending the next 2 days solid on getting it ready and hopefully painted. Bought the mesh for the widemouth today. Thoughrt it would have been a little less than £30!!!!!
|
looking good mate
gonna wide mouth my bumper soon too :y: |
Awesome car man, rep the ice grey.
|
ok so i brought the car home from work today after a long 2 days of filling sanding and priming, but i am now happy to say shes ready for sanding down and painting. heres a few pics i took when i got home. sorry about the quality it was getting dark so the flash kicked in
also i bought some black headlights from Saxomadvts last week. so they are now on the car :) ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
