Mango Westcoast - Couple of small updates.
 

Hello all, you may all remember my old Saxo that I bought off Jungle_Jim, Unfortuantly someone drove into the side of my damaging the front passenger corner :(

Pics:



Lovely, isn't it?

BUT anyway, onto the next project...Yes, you guessed it! A MANGO! :afro:

Seen it for a cheap as chips price with only 48K mileage and was going to be broke and destroyed until I came to its rescue!

Heres how I bought it:





Opinions? :P

Jesus, lol.

So the first thing i did was get the side panel sent off to be fiberglassed as the clips were broke off the VT kit..

In the mean the mean time I went out searching for parts for the car that were shoddy.

First being a grill as the one that was on it was past a joke :P


And the new one I bought off Mango_Jace in A1 condition!

Fitted:

Few weeks have gone by now and havn't had much chance to sort much out untill today, hence starting the thread today, so started cracking on with it a bit more.

My side panels etc came back all ready to go on, purchased new clips off eBay to stick these back on:

The results:

Next was a new bonnet, and a new boot with spoiler from JP_Saxo, again in much greater condition that what was on the car:

Before:


After:




No pictures of the bonnet fitted as I forgot, i'll take one after :P

Anyway, the front number plate had some horrible chrome surround on it so i soon got that off:

After:



Next I attacked some horrible carbon shit that was stuck onto the side.

Off:


Yet to clean the stuff off yet as still seeking whats best to get all the shit off with?


Random picture:

Lavvv it!

And the last couple of updates are i've started stripping the interior ready for my new full VTS interior which is being delieverd tomorrow! :)

Progress:

Getting there slowly, as I'm working shit shifts at the moment progress could maybe be delayed but i'll update as I go... :P

I know its a bit of a mess but we'll get there.
