106 > saxo > 106 project thread
 

im new at this so dont mock me

for the past 18month or so i've been working on a project or two, taken a few pics from how it started to where i am now.

as follows..

i bought a rolling shell, a 1.1 106 reg'd 1996 which had covered just 46k was clean as flip !






i then got bored of the series one image and started changing a few parts






i decided to smooth everything..











engine bay started to look dull and decided i wanted to be different










engine wise i decided on a vtr



then shortly after got bored and changed my mind again







at this point i had lack of funds and alot of stupidity and swapped my unfinished project for a saxo with a friend he painted it black as followed then scrapped it !



[/img]
i got the saxo and instantly started the strip down because it was a chav machine





i started by slamming the cow



and a few other little things




it needed alsorts so bought a doner car once finished it took a beating

smoothed out fogs













at this point i thought it was in a position to go through an mot and i could get it out and turn some heads, but with it being a conversion i had the fan wired to a separate switch which the mot tester forgot and decided to let the engine boil with the results being..



which lead to another engine


shortly later i was bored again with its exterior image and done something different






low enough ?




i then decided i needed the rear end smoothing abit and everyone knows smoothing a saxo boot is ugly as flip so mixed it up a little with abit of custom








Cheers, regret getting rid of it but have plans for this so it's all good!


Craig, is it only me that can see that post ? But appreciated !

i have to say i liked the 106 when it was black and purple and the end result of the saxo! how comes you put a 106 boot on it? was it alot of work to do?

I do like the 106 boot better than the saxo boot. Hell of a lot of work with the back panel just for looks though.

any idea what the colour code the purple was ya used in the engine bay i like it ha

Both cars look sweet, Loved the purple engine bay (Y)

It was bought from B&Q hahaha plasticoke purple.
Cheers elkoi, appreciated !

cheers lad 106 was mint! and i dont usually like them ha

nah everyone could see it, it was no problem thought I would try sort it for you
mod has came an fixed it all now though thread is much tidier :y:

Thankyou greatly !

No problemo. I'm on the iPad which hates lots of photos in threads but hopefully it ok!

Shout if you need anything else :)

i will do, cheers. pure virgin at all this !

What did your MOT tester do when he killed your engine?

Some great work there mate. I would of gone crazy with that MOT tester, but then again why did you not have the fan wired on with the temp sensor?

as long as i keep an eye on the temperature its fine, i just done a quick job for mot, mainly because it gives me control and lets this happen..

love this chris lad!

cheers bullock, its not finished yet, lots more deas, subscribe ?

as it stands today..

is that a flamer kit above?

If it isnt id probs be abit worried..

nah mate that would be cheating ;)

about time i updated this, out of sheer bordem i wanted a colour change..









chose matt black exterior with the engine bay smoothed and tucked on wiring and relocating everything else




only bit that needed welding

paintwork is still unfinished but work has started on rebuilding my 2nd engine which the mot tester killed






will update as progress is made..

Like the look of the 106 boot lid.

The 106 was looking sweet.

I do regret getting rid of it mind

Saxo will be alot better when its done! Roll on christmas matey

106 boot doesn't look to sit quite right? :S

I really like it though :y:

Think them photos were from a trial fit matey

i know tom, need your help though nothing gets done ! the 106 boot wasn't clasped and things where just in place as a taster all will be done soon enough though

How hard is it to fit the 106 boot lid really like the look of it

flick up abit to page 1 and theirs a piece that needs welding in because the light surrounds are a different shape, been an armature I managed it so its capable

I envy all you people who can just decide to change something such as the colour and just set about doing it.

I have to think can I afford it, who's going to do it etc.

agree with this comment

@ chrisbuckton nice project :y:

it's all about who you know haha ;) I have good friends to help me out. but you only learn by doing stuff yourself

Cheers Martin

Engine built up and ready for paint



ECU's new home

Great thread. Love the 106 boot!! I always preferred the look of the boot on 106's, might nick your idea ;)

Jealous of your work space! I need a unit like that!

Keep up the good work and the momentum of the work :D

Momentum is slow it's been an ongoing project for a year and a half or so now mate, hoping to get to fcs with it next year though

Gonna sub this

Good man

More engine work





Smoothed inlet ready for a sticker showing it's correct number of valves (seen as it is a furio engine..)




Grill to match
