My project thread *UPDATE 15/03/08*
 

Here is my saxo got it for about £1000 a month ago, I went to see it at night and well that was a mistake as Ive found that the bodywork certainly needs alot of work, Ive took it on the chin and decided to make it into a project.

Things that I will do, in order.

-Bodywork.New bumper and back right hand side wing and bonnet refinished.
-New exhaust system, Probally piper.
-Lowering, 40mm?
-Air filter or induction kit.
-Suggestions?

Here are some pics




Bad Paint on rear drivers side wing







Bonet chips. need a new refinish

new bumper, needed cracked.

Thats about it really, if anyone can give me any tips along the way it would be much apreciated

cheers

Doesn't look bad mate. Digging the colour!
Plans sound good too...! Maybe some french plates to spruce it up a little, and dewiper? And replace that missing chevron at the front...

looks ok, your gonna expect that sorta bodywork on a car that old tbh. should lower 50mm and get a bmc or raceland induction kit.

try and get a standard petrol cap too

yer i think de wipering will look good with the colour, I went to a local brokers today for a the chevron, is ebay better and french plates, how much are they?

Ive went to a local body repair shop today, been quoted 250 for the bonet to be refinished and the rear wing refinished as well as the 2 dints to be removed.
Didnt know if this was a good price so I booked it in because theres no were else round here that does it

£30 for the pair. Suppose at a breakers you might be able to just take it, and put it your pocket... They won't be expensive anyway though...

Im looking for a new bumper now, seen them on Ebay for about 85 quid, this a good price?

bodyshop price is ok i spose, always expensive tbh tho.

85 seems reasonable for the bumper.

yer i cant find em anywer else cheaper, it will be about 60 for it to be fitted and sprayed I think

quick update, had a bit of trouble with a non refunable "universal exhaust" but managed to talk my way into them refunding it against a Peco C1 specifically for my VTR what a result!

Car has potential mate, should look nice once sorted.

saxo looks nice mate:y: will look good with all those plans:)

Yer I cant wait for it to start taking shape, how much has everyone spent on there saxo's im up to about 600 already and you cant hardly tell lol

UPDATE - Little box arrived today!





Its a peco C1, getting it fitted tomorow, cant wait to hear it!

nice mate

as for the B door pillar you can simply remove that to make it look abit more fresh!

Love the colour, and that exhaust should roar"!

They are only stickers and can be removed for good or replaced, to avoid the crinkling.

do you just pull em off then use white spirit to get rid of the glue?

Yeah but be careful when peeling them off because of the paint, i didnt use white spirit just abit of elbow grease lol

Just a slow steady motion then lol

Yep thats it :)
