U staying 1.4?

UPDATE:

got all my back end on today and the cars now back at mine... new engine this weekend hopefully will keep u updated:







also the car got a bloody good polishing today. the boot hadnt been done is this pic and the difference is immense

Where's all that been done mate, the college?

Na mate I've been doing it at work during my lunch break.

Looks gd dan get the cyclones on it!! Those wheels look bait now!! Lol

Looks like its come out pretty well mate. Do you work at a bodyshop then? If so how much to touch up 3 or 4 spots on a similar car as I am wondering if it is worth me doing it myself or not.

looking really good mate.

i honestly would leave it colour coded as i think it looks so much better. colour coded white sax's are awesome

im an apprentice atm mate working at pierremonts on the pysons road industrial estate.

but in all honesty its worth doing the prep work yourself and then paying the garage to do the paint work.

i bought all my paint for £55 and its its done nearly half a car


and i think im leaving it colour coded now for deffo

Cheers for the reply buddy. I'm ok doing all that, I might go and get some quotes although getting throttle bodies, new cam belt and a vernier pully set is top of the list at the moment!

Your car's looking like its going to look quite nice once it's all back together. You can't beat a white Sax!

looks good mate nice to see you are repairing it :D

wheres the finished artical mate, been waiting on this

cars all finished and fine but im not comfortable driving it anymore after the crash so its now up for sale. more pics up soon

bootbuild for sale
cyclones for sale
tweeter pods for sale
grill goes with car
106gti mirrors for sale

the lot i want gone

Vts it mate

UPDATE i know im slacking on pics, but when you work on cars all week you sort of loose all enthusiasm for your own, however the sax is back on the road and better than ever:



















and i had a little play with a shop window in this one:



list of things in progress at the moment are:

respraying my gear lever
new grill going on as my euro one flew off on the motorway
looking for some pro race 1.2s in black
spraying front headlight trims. however i am considering getting some morretes for the front.
painting 106 gti mirrors and much more but really cant be arsed to say so youll have to wait and find out...

let me know what you think now shes all back together?

looks good, so you decided to keep her instead of selling ?

looks like its got 2 black eyes after tha crash haha

This is such a minter. Just read through the whole thread. Looks like you've worked so hard on it, it would be a real shame sell it.
But I can understand how you can feel uncomfortable driving it after a crash. However, I regret selling my car after I crashed it. Nothing else has ever come close. :(

Great thread though :)

Well I've decided to keep it, feel really comfortable driving it now. I've aslo defused to lower the front to level the car out instead of raising the back. 60mm pi springs on the way hopefully. Cyclones are on eBay atm because I really fancy some pro race 1.2s and I wanna whack some buckets in it too. Loads more plans just no cash atm

Very nice mate!

You havent posted in ages! this is a well good thread so far and your car look shweeeet! get posting i'm watching this!
