Noddy's 1.1 - Flatarch - 25/02/10 - front lowered and VT brakes (Photos now up - more to come)
 

Right then. Seeing as I will be doing some work on the car at stages and when i'm not at work, I'd might as well put up a thread so you can see how things evolve.

So the car as it is then. Outside its a 2001 1.1 desire with the vtr alloys fitted. Everything else is as standard (for now) - inside, everything is as standard as well bar the HU which got changed from the stock clarion CD player to a Pioneer HU (DEH-P9800BT).

On the list of things to do. Currently I'm sorting out some prices for a new bonnet & slam panel after a knock that I had last November. After that:

- Upper strut brace - Done
- New back box (needs replacing) - Done
- New O/S headlight cluster - Done
- Front components - Done
- Respray front bumper (getting done at same time of spraying of bonnet etc) - Done
- Fit new plates (won't pass the MOT in sept in their current state) - Done
- Rear sub & amp - Done

After that then i'll let myself loose with other things but I'll stick them up when they occur....

I'll go and take some photos now and will stick them up in a bit.

weyyy welcome to Sax-P if your from my end of the woods, do you come to Ashford much?

Unfortunately I don't. Most of my time is spent in the kitchen at work.:panic: When I do have time off though, its normally college work or electrical stuff that keeps me busy.

Whhey Another Kent body!

keep an eye in the south east section and make sure you come out to play when we have a few meets!

looklng forward to seeing wot u come up with! keep us up to date matey :P

As promised, heres a few photos that i've quickly taken of the car. Sorry for the crap quality on some of them - I need to clean the lens on my camera again.

There not loading are the pics.

Yeah, sorted now. I'll repost the photos now:






Damn webserver :panic:

nice sax

There vtr alloys not vts

mk1 vts's came with them wheels so techically they are still vts alloys :P

Looks tidy man, i reckon them alloys should have been an option on base models!

looking good mate :y:

Looking good mate. Very nice example of a base model!

Very tidy mate. Not keen on the sticker in the rear window though.

Vtr wheels look good on it.

My bad, yes they're the VTR wheels not the VTS

Need nice little tailpipe on the back of that mate. Somewhere between 3'-4'

Sportex or Peco will look ok and not break the bank, check these for back box options:

Peco (and others) - www.performancecentre.co.uk

That and a nice dimma grill,and thata look spot on maybe a tad lower and its all done :y:

nice saxo

I'll look at the backboxes as the one that currently on there is pretty much had its day and needs replacing. Later on in the year once i've got time, I may lower it a bit as the ride is a bit high. The grill is something that i'm going to pass on though for a bit as I want to keep the car standard in appearance to start with.
