'KOLeen' Goodbye Sweetheart
 

Ok so i went on a mission in March to find a new car as the mini 1.3i cooper's project hadn't got off and running due to repairs! With this in mind i wanted something i could run without fears of breaking down or not starting! I was looking for a honda civic v-tec but couldn't find a decent mileage one in my price range!
Then one day a sweet looking saxo vtr went past me, it might have been the girl driving it but i thought 'I HAVE GOT TO GET ME ONE OF THESE!
So for the next week or 2 i searched the web looking for a saxo vtr or vts, i wasn't going to have anything less than a 1.6 as the mini was a 1.3 and it was nippy! Especially in the winter! :homme:
One day me and my dad went driving round the west Midlands to look at 4 saxos we had picked out!
First one was a vtr possi blue 64k 2,795 Test drove it seemed good! liked the power! But we went to have a look at another few! One seemed abandonded in a road by a garage! Another the bloke said he had such a good month he wasnt going to lower the price (wtf) :gives:
By this time i had decided I wanted the first one! :P So we drove back to tamworth and said we wanted it! He offered 750 for the mini but i knew i could get more so we said we would just buy this and sell the mini seperately!
The saxo had to be MOT'd and it was about 4ish so we sat in the office waiting for the MOT to be done! Mechanic came round said the brake's had failed the MOT so we couldn't get it then!
Went home right p'd off but they had said it would be done on the Monday! Just had to get back up there! Luckily my dad had the day off so on the monday off we went to get it! They could have at least washed it properly but i knew i could do a better job once i got home! So we handed over the money and i had the first drive in my new car on the motorway! :evil:

:bored: So that was March and i gave it a clean and had bought a sunstrip from a place by me (Cheap and made a difference! Coming off soon)

I was set to go for a while anyways until i had paid back what i owed! It came to August and i was on the internet when i came accross Saxperience.com! So i signed up and found out about trax2006! Sounded good so i sent off for the ticket and show stand! But car's arse was in the air it had to be changed before i went! So after searching round a few garages i found a place that did it for 82 quid and got it sorted!



So went down to trax and looked at what other people had done to there cars! so decided mine would be a project! First i did when i got back was change the grille!

Which brings us up to this weekend! I smoked the fog lights last week after I ordered black angel eye headlights start of the month and they came on friday! Fitted them friday! Just gotta do the grille now as it looks a bit wonky!



What do you think so far??

loose sunstrip and washer jets ad it looks ace! :D

Great progress so far :)

Whats next on your list?

yeh i agree with rob5axo, looks a lot like my VTS

nice car mate

looks good! decent progress!!!

Next on the list is either tinits or colour coding! Probably getting colour coding as i had it photo shopped and it looks amazing!

Then:
sort some euro style wheels out,
exhaust!
Lose the spoiler and rear wiper (After winter tho!! RAIN NOT GOOD)
New suspension
Engine mods, tidy engine bay!

it makes a lot of difference to the look when you body code it, as you can see in you picture

looks good, better with the colour coded and definately loose the sunstrip

lovin it get a smaller sunstrip or non at all :)

Nice read there mate, would be great to see it soon as your only down the motorway from me.
Actually my Dad manages/owns a Petrol Station in Stourbridge (in Pedmore). Sorry no free petrol!!
Keep up the good work and get some more pics up soon, looks like the sunstrip is going too lol.

:P

Well i am always around Merry Hill, Stourbridge, kingswinford so you will eventually see me! if you do beep cuz i will just look at you and carry on! bit dumb like that! what petrol station is it? Sunstrip might go tomorrow!

oooh hun the lights are looking good! x an the rest of your car of course lol

Looks great. Like the look of the photoshop too!

Just cleaned the car and thought i would test the new phone out! Took off the sunstrip! getting washer jets tomorrow! New pics . . .





best picture of the day . . .

What you think??

very nice love the lights

looking gd mate!

Very clean car, like the fogs.

that looks wikd m8.i like it

looks nice mate, lookin so much better without the sun strip good stuff mate!

loads better without the black sunstrip covering half the window.

nice car

Good to see the sunstrip has gone, looks so much better without

smoked angels and fog lights look smart.

very nice mate, so you not going for the euro look anymore???

must say them angel eyes look gorgeous on posi blue saxos :D:

Looks very nice when clean matey, so much nicer without the sunstrip. Mk2 rear wiper would suit it too.

Looking good buddy!

very nice mate! light look tops! Anyone heard of anything about Angel Eyes for the mk2 yet? :(

Still going for the euro look! Just trying to find some wheels to go on it! Then it will be lowered 60mm front and 80mm back! hopefully colour coded soon! Just gotta save up the cash!!

Thanks for all the comments! Think i made the right decision getting rid of the sunstrip!!

Save up quickly and get it done lol!

Just a quick update on the car! Haven't done anything major to the car this month as i can't afford to!!! But i have got rid of the washer jets, rear wiper, wet'n'dried the rear badges!! Thinking colour code next month with some money i have put together!!








Looking good???

Thats looking good mate.

Car is mint, I wouldn't colour code it though.
Where did you get your lights?
And also, what is it lowered?

Got lights off ebay, gk motorsport or something like that! Wouldn't get them from there though!! Lot of hassle getting them. i dont know how low it is at the front as it was like it when i bought it but had the torsion bar lowerd one notch so bout 40mm??

should get it lowered 60 all round not lower at the back, will look great then, nice pics.

Looks nice mate, good old mk1s! Blue n black themes always good too!

Its got lowering springs on the front, just don't know what they are!!

shes a credit to you skorpion!

She aint doing too bad to say i have been working on a budget of a tenner a month!! lol!! Trying to get her booked in for colour code before Christmas!! Kinda leave things late though!!

not too keen on colour code i think the black bumper strips give the saxos there edges, look too rounded when colour coded, especially the mk2's but thats my opinion. love the lights mate, nice clean car ya got there

Like the new pics mate, car is looking nice and subtle like Saxo's should do.
