paddy the not so irish not actually a westcoast *secret revealed--SOLD and gone now*
its late and im entertaining myself as best i can so i thought id put a thread together for this car so ima say about it then lob a few pics at the end like
its my daily after the vtR shat itself it seemed a decent motor (youll see why i put seemed if you read) my luck has been shit again though tbh thought its a change from me buying something reasonable nick and destroying it this one turns out its allready fucked so were off to a bad start lol basically its an irish vts (1380cc 8v motor in a vts chassis) logbook is a westcoast but had disc rear beam abs vts interior vts spoiler vtr alloys standard alarm and is maritius blue which wasnt an option on uk westys im not sure how its ended up in this country as a westy as most stay declaired as a vts like but ah well dont mind lmao anyway the car has a few mods to it its lowered (60 front 30 rear) its got an induction kit thats shit its got blue rear window tints debadged bootlid mark 2 rear wiper arm ive fitted my goodmans headunit and it had alpine door speakers in it and the issues ive allready had are biggest is i cheched the left 2 tyres for tread they were ok and never looked at the right and right front is on its markers so 2 new ones needed few front panels dont quite line up and there are a few bits of kit not fitted right and one arch is cracked looks as if its been bumped but everything important is straight so not too fussed tbh it still drives fin so fuck how it looks missing chevrons out the grill the windscreen cracked in the cold somehow which was nice and the heated rear screen doesnt work (suspect the fuse has been removed to stop the heat effecting the tints) both wing mirrors are smashed to bits and dont stay still when you drive over 60 passenger door doesnt open from the outside drivers door check strap broken i went to shut the door and the check strap jammed so i pulled the handle out the doorcard and broke it central locking doesnt work alarm button fell out the fob missing rear headrests spare tyre on it was cracked all round one side so no use (lucky lea donated his old one to me) and the grill fell out yesterday after i hit a bird and said bird broke my foglight too apart from that its a shed lol! but its what i get tbh ive lost the love for saxos lately im not fucking about in the cold in the spring ill sort out the vtR again maybe refit the bodypanels on this so they line up and pull the tints off it lol anyway enough blabbering im sure you wanna see pics of this abomination to the world of saxos here is the day i got it  and here it stands now in its filthy broken state     luckily of the above list i have the following sat here for when it warms up and i decide to make it presentable if i can be arsed foglights out of my vtR windscreen from my gti shell door mechanism and check strap pillaged off gti shell origonal mirrors off my vtR got a set of wheels today for 50 quid with 2 new tyres and 2 with 4mm of tread so they can go on it mark 2 vtr interior will solve doorcard and rear headrest issues only things i wanna sort quick is the central locking and the alarm so i need a new fob and then to see what the score is on the alarm like hopefully once the vtR is running again i can just tidy this body wise and it should make a reasonable daily its allready lowered ect so im not messing about there like (even if it is nosedive spectacular lol) anyway nuff chatting shit im sure none of you will a |
do you still have the gti or is that gone? dont drive like a loon man and im sure it will be a good little runner once sorted.
|
currently the gti is sat as a shell in my garden with a few panels on and getting used as a shed
it was up for sale but no interest so scrap soon i think :/ all i do in this so far is motorway cruising to random places and potting to town for the job centre and stuff |
right so the gti is dead/going. the posi vtr is going to replace what the gti should have been. so all the hot parts brakes ect are staying put.
|
told you you'd do a progress thread,
you're still not allowed to play with it okay lol |

You and nicole are amazing at buying cars! :)
|
haha normally i find em pretty tidy and ruin them alex
nicole was set on that white one no matter what tbh so i just said get it and we could sort whatever was up and this one tbh i didnt care it worked and was cheapish so i had it lol main thing i bought it for was the colour which is a rare thing for me to do as ive only bought 2 cars for there colour and one was my first vts lol im not even planning to fix the doors ect at any point soon literally dont car on my own cars at the moment |
Looks good in the "Day i got it pic" tbh :D
Shame about all the problems though :n: |

tbh with yours aswell its an odd day here and there for a few hours lol with like my vtR its a good few days of 6 hours out in the cold doing either heavy work (on ice with an engine crane wount be fun lol) or fiddly shit like the loom routing to get it working again and tbh i cba with that lol |
sorted my bald/flat tyres out
50 quid for these with 2 new tyres up front and 2 4mm of tread rear    |

haha epic!!
its all about the tucked in stance of 5.5j |
lol they are truly a horrid wheel but @ £50 for the set (when retards here pay up to £180 - NO JOKE) im sure they arent bad for an old set of wheels to move the car about the field :P
|
haha tbh i dont really care how they look
the cars a shed anyway so the wheels just add to it lmao i bought them mostly for the tyres as the ones on my vtr rims were fucked so they do the trick there "skinny snow tyres like a rally car for winter" lmao!! |
ohhh aye!!! lol
though you would need to master the scandinavian flick :P |
haha not quite but im learning
