Lol, i know what you mean about leather, but if i keep it stripped, i will make sure it looks special and very clean :)

Took the misses out for a spin tonight, just to see what she reckoned and she prefers it stripped :S

16v may be on the cards anyway dude. R lump has recently rolled over 90k.

Right folks. The Sax is going to stay stripped i reckon. The plan is basically fixed buckets, paint inside, harnesses, lots of flock, lots of carbon. But it's going to take a while due to money... although i've just had a pay rise so that's going to help abit :)

Some pics for now:

theres still alot to remove chip..

get on it.

im glad its been stripped chip.........just so we are abit more different lol

Haha, i know dude. I'll get on it. The carpet on the arches seems to be glued? So i'm going to make sure i've got plenty of time to do it right as i want to be able to put everything back if i ever need/want to. The rear plastics, i need to get the cage out to remove them, so again, more effort than a quick job. Shall all be done though dude :y:

Always look on the bright side haha. Tbf dude, it does seperate them a little lol. If you hadn't got morrette's (or i had) we could play mind games with people :P

Right folks. I've been off work since yesterday, partially due to me wanting to get some stuff done to the Sax and partially due to the fact i went to see Enter Shikari last night, was mint i tell thee. But anyway, yesterday i went to the scrap yard and picked up some 106 door bins and door handle surrounds. A bargain at £5. These will be fitted once i get my fibreglass door cards which my mate makes.

Today's progress:

Basically today, i wanted to get the rear stripped properly. First up i had to get the cage out and the rear door panels off..




This revealed lots of wiring, so i decided it needed tidying up...






Then i wanted the arch carpet off, but it left lots of horrid glue which looked messy as...


Pipe cleaner is my friend...


The result of afew hours :)


And then i gave her a wash... and it started to start spitting with rain lol

Next up i need to paint the inside's, get the fibre glass door cards and some bucket seats. Shall all be done soon hopefully :)

stunning as usual! Will be much better when you have the buckets installed :y:

great pics chip and plans sound good. looking forward to seeing more

def the right direction for your car

Lovely car mate.

Cheers dude. It's abit strange having my car stripped out at the minute. I like it, but it's taking some getting used to. Keep going outside and looking at it lol.

Cheers mate.

Who thinks Pro Race 1.2's in black would look good? I know they're a common wheel, but i like them.

EDIT: Also took the sound deadening off the rear arches this morning... but i aint going to post pics up of that lol. Just imagine bare metal haha

looks beauty mate, notice any gains?

reminds me alot of mine.

buckets and harnesses would look beauty now.

Well, it's definetly lighter lol. It's raised the back a little and has made the stance spunk-worthy dude. Just got to see how money goes for buckets and harness'. Hopefully get them in the next month or two. Hope the S is suiting you well :y:

looks good Chip, will be really good once you have the inside sprayed up.

Going to see the people who are hopefully doing my re-trim tomorrow hopefully

James

That sounds good dude :y: Who's doing it? Or pm me if you prefer. I'd really like leather. But strangely stripping it out happens to be more practical and the added bonus is it's abit cheaper. Once it's all flocked etc it should look awesome too :)

looks amazingly clean mate

what is strange?? what takes getting used to?? just the fact its empty?

Yea dude. It's weird after nearly 3 years of having interior in it lol.
