the saxo 1.1 east coast :) (sorta show car ;) )

Right so I was 16 and my 17th birthday was on the way so naturally i was trawling through ebay trying to see what i could find in my price range.

was looking a c2 1.1 but then my mate from fusion said to me that he had a 1.1 saxo sat in his garage doing nothing, he said it had a bit of a bodykit on but did need a lot of work. But for nothing I was up there like a shot and signing the log book :panic:

So i got it with a bit of a bodykit on and so on :) so here it what it looked like when i got it :)

the next step was get all the body work sanded at my local bodyshop (http://www.autokolor.co.uk/ ) I was quite friendly with him so I was down there every day after work helping with what I could and there at the weekends. often with a crate of stella working late into the night :drink:

after a couple of weeks we had got the bodywork to a good standard and ready for prima :) so we got chatting and then we come up with a few ideas and scott ( the bodyshop owner ) had said he had once heard that 206 lights can fit into a saxo with a bit of work so we got cutting and here is what we got ;)

so once again the sanding began and the finally ready for the spray booth :)
and ready for primer :)

lovely pink primer I know :homme:

so once primered it was left to stand for a week and then sanded once again it was back in the spray booth for the final colour :)

so once sprayed the next stage was the interior and audio :)
so once I got chatting to tom from fusion and me and him began the boot build :) the orignal idea was a false floor and one sub because thats all i could really afford :/ however we had a bit of a meeting and got chatting to the fusion market and retail guys and they said they could do the products at cost so off we went to car audio eletronics to pick up the gear and the boot build began :)

it helps abit when your mum works at b and q and you can get some diy stuff with discount :y::y:

so once the skeleton of the boot build was done it was time to strip it all out again and have the mdf flocked :) im nottingham based so was searching all over to find someone finnally found a guy in ilkeston who did it :)

head over to his site there are few of my bits in his gallery :) http://www.floc-king.co.uk/gallery.php

so once we got all the bits back it was time to get them fiitted :) here is what it looked like once fitted :)

so thats what it looked like I was happy but then the sudden relisation of the white not keeping clean hit me and was all changed to black leather :) which we and my dad had a crack at :)

so once that was done it was time for the seats :) so here is what i ended up buying some nice black half buckets :)

so there is how it stands now :) the next step for the car is to get some mam mts 1s and hopefully get it on a rayvern hyrdo or bag set up :)

here is a few more pics of the car :)

As far as body kits go that's not a bad one iirc not a fan of the lights in the boot but oh we'll as said get better pics up mayne

Looks good mate. As said, some people won't like body kits but at least they can appreciate the work thats gone into it. Look forward to watching this project.

The only thing I don't like again is the lights on the boot. Those ring LED's look so thrown in to me, even though I know you've had to weld up the boot etc. I think some MR's (red/clear or smoked) would look totally smooth for this project.

However, I do like the 206 light conversion, and the general effort :) Top lad

yeah the lights look a bit odd that high up. They'd look better in the same position as the standard lights

yeah looking back at it now i wish i had done standard lights but hopefully the plan is while the boot is shut those lights will show when boot lifted the original lights will show thanks for all the positve comments aswell really appreciate it

as said not a fan of the rear lights never liked that style, but the rest of it is top notch!

must be tempted to drop a 16v in there ;) considering all the work youve done an engine swap would be a 'small' thing to do
