**Updates on Page 3** Car nearly up to standard :)!! Frisby's Saxooo Progress Thread
Right well i thought i would start my progress thread now as i have just brought the car. It's a Gold 1.1 Desire. I brought it with 56,000 miles on the clock, X reg (2000) for £1600. It came with a few added extras which are alloys (not sure which make) and lexus lights for the rear. Think it was a good buy for the saxo's which were around my area and the money I had. Few pictures of the car when I brought it yesterday. Passed my test on the 8th March :).

Welcome to the world of Cheap French Shite LOL
Number 13 (lowering) should be the first thing you do buddy. You'll understand when its done. And don't bother with the 'Bee sting' Ariel, they're shit. I had one on my VTS when I got it and I couldn't pick up any stations. just get a shortish one from your local spares shop. (under a tenner) Also you might want to de-wiper the back and get a rear Spoiler?? |
The things arn't in order, just a numbered list lol. They get done as money becomes available :L
|
dosnt look too bad mate you dont see too many gold saxos non there?are they tsw razors you got on there, how long till you get rid of them? as im after one:)
|
ooo well, if you want them, depends how much you'll pay becuase im getting some VTR ones :)
|
Fresh goldie mate :y:

short update on the car.
I have brought a 400w sub, going to wait until i get my new cd player and 6x9's until i get it wired in. It is currently in the boot, looking big and beasty! Also i have brought gold vt side skirts, vt front and rear wide arches, vt door panels, a vt rear bumper and finally a vt spoiler all in topaz gold :) Just have to buy a vt front bumper. Unfortunatly can't find one in gold, but will spray one. Have already found one so just in the process of buying it :) Hope everyone likes the updates, pictures will be up in the next couple of days :) |
Just one more update, my dad has brought me a set of VTR alloys for the car, they should be here tomorrow so I will get some pictures and put them up tomorrow for everyone. I feel the car is coming together the way I want it to be :)
|
Sounding tasty :)
|
Right well heres my new VTR Alloys:

Finally found a front bumper off a VTR in gold, should be here either tomorrow or next week. Also have brought a set of VTR Seats for £50, which are in excellent nick. All the parts should be here so by next weekend hopefully i can get come pics up of the car getting the new parts added and the final piece after. Only the odd bits to do after all this :)
|
got some really good ideas should look gd with vt kit have look at my thread for ideas
|
Thanks mate :). I just prefer the look of the VTR's to the 1.1. Personal preference tbh. Ill have to start ticking off my things at the start of the Thread ;)
|
Just a quick update on whats happened today.
Well basically the cars had a full service, the rear bumper fitted, Spoiler fitted, VTR Alloys fitted, new spark plugs, air filter, oil filter, new air fan thingy :L, new canbelt, new rocker head covers and a few other little bits but i can't actually remember. Its turned out to be a little project for the guys in the workshop tbh. A Guy wants to fit carbon fibre door mouldings and bumper moulding bits but im a little unsure atm. Tell me what you guys think. VTR Side skirts, door panels, front bumper and seat should be going in this week so ill have pictures up soon of the final product :) |
Gold is a good colour i miss my gold one :(:(
