Thumbs down My VT Kitted / Chalked / Glow in the dark! - RIP Chalky! He's now dead :(

Here's how my little 1.1 started: I've reuploaded the pictures to flickr, and changed the size of them.

Bought Car
Got rid of the blue interior paint
Did a SMD LED Dial conversion / Sub / Comps install / Angel eyes
Crashed... Write off - Start of repairing!
VT Kit / Flared eyed bonnet.
Lumi Orange painting & Engine bay.
Chalkboard paint / Boot neons.
Lowered 50mm Front and Rear
Cruise in Yarmouth / Chalking Pics.
Repainted Chalkboard / Tidied up paintwork.
Olllldddd pics of car!
Snow pics / Small bump
Photoshop of glow in the dark accents.
Thinking of chalking dash? LED Running strips?



This way, when i start to actually do stuff I can look back and see how bad it used to look!

Anyway!

I bought a little 1.1 off a friend, who had done some 'modifications' which were slightly weird...



Few other pictures..





First thing I set about doing was to replace the rear door panels inside, the guy had literally ripped the speaker grill off the last one!

Ill take a picture of that tomorrow, the old one is on my table in the back garden.

Secondly had to rewire the 6x9's on the parcel shelf (Yes I know... Boooooo) but they have to do until i have some more money! They literally had just bare wire twisted together, it was horrible.


So then I set about my first actual mod!

I wanted to mesh the grill, so I looked at the guide off here... but I only had a hacksaw attached to a stanley handle... So it was interesting!

So off the grill comes:



Tried to cut mine out, failed miserably! Bought a dimma grill


Next Jobs:
  • Install Components in the front - Done!
  • Wire sub into boot - Done.
  • Build false floor for boot
  • Buy rest of VT kit! I have back bumper, side skirts, rear arches... (came with the car!) - Done.
  • Lower car (have the springs, need to read what else I need) - Done!
  • Get rid of that aerial! - Done.
  • Possibly respray those front lights black, cant work out if i like them
- Done!

I shall keep this updated as i get round to things!
