my 6th saxo project posi blue vtr
 

hello all ive been driving the little matt black fiesta 1.25 on one of my other threads for a while but couldnt stay away from saxos as usual so ive been on the hunt for a new project so here it is..

its a 1998 posi blue vtr with just 66k miles from new with documented previous mots to prove and some previous history i found it on a drive opposite work and hadnt been started for 12months with a little help from a booster pack she turned over straight away and i drove her home and with no mechanical faults whatsover and pulls like a train for an 8valve! bargain buy!

the spec:
vts interior in immaculate condition
clifford concept alarm
scorpion (i believe) cat back exhaust system
decatted
pipercross viper induction kit
remapped
ebc cross drilled grooved discs
mintex pads
morrette head lights and grille
diablo red rocker cover and manifold heatshield (not to my taste)
o.z alloys with good tyres
lowered only around 30mm on the rear 50mm front? (they are black springs and its solid on the road? any ideas?) turns out springs are red just caked in sh*t

bad points:
needs n/s/f arch and side repeater
dent in bootlid
needs a good valet and service


pics to follow

pics from last night how i bought it..











picture quality isnt great but i will take some more later on today after ive done some work to it, also any opinions on what wheels to go for would be great i was thinking gunmetal grey vts' but there becoming common..

thanks

few pics in the daylight..

also dewipered it fitted a 3inch ariel and led number plate bulbs and refitted some of the plastics since these pics..





(not sure if i like these wheels)




opinions welcome good or bad

not to bad, a good clean under the bonnet and id spray the red bits blue or another colour that isnt red lol

gunmetal vts alloys maybe be common but look good :)

once the panels are sorted will be smart looking car with a decent suspension drop

how much you pay?

You have a saggy mirror :(

Looks a good base though!
If you do change wheels, I may have these off you if you decide to get rid..providing they're 15's :)

Whats it been remapped to? Looks good though mate, need to change them wheels though.

yeah cheers im starting to know these cars like the back of my hand now lol im a valeter so it'll be up to scratch as soon as i get a minute lol, not really sure what colour to do the vts wheels that my mates offered either grey or white im thinking and yeah it is 50mm atm with some very stiff rear shocks on it lol. panel wise just needs the boot doing the mirror and the n/s/f arch so not much really.

and £280 mate one of the most expensive ones ive bought lol

yeah hopefully get a mirror this week mate, i am selling the wheels now so ill inbox you details

lol @ one of your most expensive cars, doesnt the front bumper need a lick of paint also? lol

not sure mate a friend of the previous owners done the mapping i have the paperwork but it doesnt have a print out on it and im going for vts wheels

are you sure its lowered 50mm? looks standard height at the back and maybe 35mm at the front:S

just noticed there isnt a rear towing hook lol

one of my pricest saxo's lmao i work in the car trade so i get offered cars every day bought a e46 with tax and mot for £180 last year and yeah mate ill exchange a valet for a lick of paint soon

yeah the pics from the rear are after ive jacked it up and it hasnt settled down same height as my mates at 50mm when its settled

Needs a bit of tlc, also sort the sagging exhaust out, even if its just with some cable ties lol

in the middle of doing that now and its just a worn rear rubber probz got one lyin around somewhere

still needs a clean i know so dont tell me off i havent had time lol but i have got the fogs out and started wrapping them ;) and fixed a few more little issues like the loose grille which had no fixings in it! (still need to find one self tapper) and the morrettes indicator wire which was just loose, also does anyone know where i can get the reflective metal inside the morretes from cheap? as one of mine rusty and stained? thanks







opinions welcome also looking for wheel ideas peeps thanks

Alright mate, if you need any parts mate, let me know got a full body kit off a Posi blue VTR- also got Saxo wing mirrors too pal

i need a nearside arch and a drivers mirror mate also a drivers side fog light? cheers

Shall dig it all out for you pal, and will take some photos in the daylight so you can see the condition :y:

no probz mate there is more i need i should imagine lol loads of silly things i.e cigarette lighter and some 10mm bolts that fix the headlights/fogs in place

do you know, as bizzare as it sounds, I have some Posi blue 10mm bolts with the Citroen washers haha!

woo! mine are silver and 2 are missing so thats good, how much we looking on the lot? also long shot but any vts wheels and a 4 branch available?

update: lots of parts on there way a clean up and more
 

over the weekend ive ordered/bought the following:
.a posi blue passenger side arch
.cigarrette lighter
.pair of fogs
.posi petrol cap
.drivers mirror
.flat blade wipers
.oil, oil filter and engine flush
.led number plate and side light bulbs
.yellow tinting film
.couple of nice stickers

and more bits and bobs to come

found out a few parts i had lying around i.e:
.cd player from the fiesta
.3 way door speakers
.powder coated heatshield
.flick switches that may come in handy

also ive looked through the history to find the car has had a brake conversion up front to 266mm which is a plus (near new pads and ebc discs)

anyways gave it a real quick clean up today wheels door shuts engine bay and the outside needs a full interior valet and a polish up tomorrow when i get chance so here are a few pics...













(still needs a major clean)


(exhaust rubber needs replacing)


(bootlid will be getting repaired soon)


once the bits and bobs ive ordered/bought are fitted and ive finished cleaning it up it should look quite tidy overall

comment away...

quickly fitted the black powder coated heatshield this morning although previous owners snapped a bolt off to that'll need seeing to so it sits perfect...



the snapped off bolt..


need to remove that sub wire as i wont be having a sub in it and after lunch give the inside a good tidy up if i get chance

posi vtr update
 

most of the parts i ordered have now shown up except the mirror petrol cap and wipers which should be here asap..

gave it a good service today:
engine flush
oil and filter
refitted the coil pack as it wasnt fitted right lol
cleaned out the air filter
put injection cleaner through her
and done a general check from top to bottom finding a few new issues one being the driver side driveshaft has no gator! and passenger side is torn sunroof seal had came loose so refitted and also a few exhaust rubbers which need replacing.

still need to wrap the other fog fit the new arch and find out a side repeator then it should be ready for its mot once ive fitted the bits and bobs im waiting on :)















also thinking yellow wheels..

now got the car taxed and on the road havent really had time or money to do much to it other than add a set of heko wind deflectors line the exhaust up properly and sort the electrical fault that appeared after getting stuck in the snow (turned out to be a wire arking out)
bought a new driverside drive shaft and spark plugs today for it so ill fit those asap along with fitting the nearside arch and driverside mirror cap..

once all thats done im planning on upping the power as much as possible as it handles perfect! so ill be looking into a 4-2-1 and a decat as soon as i can
