End of august I had no car and got sick of being a bus wanker so i parted with 600 whole english pounds for this "car"




car is a loose term, bad bits were hole in rear window lack of engine mount bolts and near non-existant brakes very bad paint and a cracked dash

good bits, roll bar tax and MOT aftermarket manifold

looked ok after a quick detail minus the bonnet and boot as there fucked





just over a month of having it off to oulton park i went, with alan and sam



its fun but slow never the less

sam just behind me




first mod? cost £8

camo rollcage



second mod? free filter i had laying about and some camo tape for mounting



thats it for now, next thing is too see how bad it fails its MOT at the end of may

If you ever want rid of the roll bar, shout up ;)

the most valuable thing on the car wrapped in the second most valuable thing;)

if it fails very badly i might split it but rust wise it seems ok

needs paint i think
 

first off wheels

then the bodywork











bootlid ready for paint



so far the only rust







hopefully paint next weekend, havent decided what colour yet

That rollbar is awesome :)

have you taken the carpet up yet?

Nope not been under there yet but I assume you expect me to find some more rust?

Looking good man. Excited to see the colour.

Any problems give me a shout, I've experienced most of them lol

its a place where i found rust as the drainage hole goes through there

still a bargin thought!

Il look at that when the outsides done, sills are still solid thank god, just need a hardtop before I paint it next weekend

first go at using filler today

front badge gone



and rear panel de-badged and de-locked





not too bad for a 1st go i think

got the majority of the car painted this weekend everything apart from the bonnet as that needs to go back to bare metal, some bits need more prep as up close the finnish isnt good







so far its had front and rear debadged, rear bumper cut and red grill and door handles(although not sure on the shade of red, its not dark enough)

all for a grand total of £34.99

Looking good Dude.

Owh man I didn't know you were doing it matte black :/

technically satin black but it may not stay like that, i think its missing something myself

at least this way i have a base i can change when ever the mood takes me, i just need it to be on the road for the 1st of august

Not a fan of matte black. Looks patchy too.

Does look a bit patchy but I guess that's just the way this colour is. Give it a coat of matte lacquer, that might level it out.

Not a fan of matte black motors unless they are factory finish! :n:
