Ben's Flatarch Project // CRASH! Now fixed!
 

This is my first thread on here. I have been looking at other progress threads on here and decided to make my own. Got some snaps of the car now, I haven't done anything yet as I have only had the car for a week.

Picked her up for £750. Just passed it's MOT with no problems and no advisories. Also, just been serviced, new set of tyres and a new clutch.





Not sure about the lexus lights :/ Might just get some standard smoked lights


Best way to sort this out? Looks like something was spilt on it.

PLANS

I can't do anything quick as I have a lot coming up that will empty my wallet. But cheap things I will get around to in the next couple of weeks no doubt are -

Sorting the bonnet marks
New drivers side front wing (dint from someone opening door onto it)
Colour coding the grill and fitting it with mesh
Spraying the chevrons white, and the boot badges
Spraying current rims white (to get an idea of colour on future plans)

FUTURE PLANS

Lowering.
Alloys.
Induction Kit.
Tinting read windows.
Replacing rear lights.
Angel Eyes.

If you know where I can get cheap parts for my build please let me know!

Nice looking car mate, welcome to the site :y: I think the marks on the bonnet may be lacquer peel, not 100% sure though, plans seem good anyway, will keep an eye on this

Get mk1 rear light on it. But looks like a goo starter point.

Once you've got the requirements for the for sale/wanted section you can get bits rather cheep from there.

Okay thanks guys! I looked in my car for the colour code but don't really know where I'm looking haha! Any ideas on the code for my car?

And I was thinking of getting mk1 smoked rears

On mine under the bonnet on the left hand side near the battery (where the top of the strut is)

I'll have a look now. What exactly is it that I'm looking for? 3 letter code?

I think so, never really paid much attention, mines bright white though so can't miss it.

I couldn't see anything. Owners manual is out now...

Oooh, yours is a MK2, it might in on the drivers door sill..

KPKD! got it! ;D

Now, where can I get spray in that colour? I can only find scratch repair kits...

Check Ebay, or type in the code on google followed by spray paint or something.
Something will pop up :)

Found it! Thanks! Will order when I get paid. £20 for a can of paint and laquer.

Thinking of getting white sponsor stickers to go down the doors next to the front wheel arches. Opinions?

ditch back lights for mk1s, nice wheels, slam it. done :drink:

Not slamming it yet, seems as though you can't do it for less than about £90. I'd rather sort other things first, that don't effect insurance.

Boony in Manchester lowers them for £80 you just have to buy the front springs

Still too much at the minute. Anyway, I just bought some rattle cans to spray the badges, but how do I get them off easily?

look on ebay for springs. i got mine for about £20. infact most things i've bought for the car cost £20 ;)

Cheers I'll have a gander. But I want to sort out the wing, bonnet and badges first.
