Right, took some pictures of how it stands today, im quite pleased given the state I got it in, and what i have acheived by doing all the work myself, there are still a few bits that im not liking, but hopfully over time I can sort these out. Such a bugger that i am not able to drive it at the moment due to its current problem with the engine, because it has so far been a dream to drive.
Oh and also i want to apologise in advance about the lexus lights, i aint proud of them, it was just that i was able to pick them up dirt cheap, an they do the job for now. Thinking of smoking them and seeing how that turns out, if anyone has done this can you please post a pic so i can get a genral idea of how they will look. However i do kinda like the DTM mirrors, but dont really know what other peoples opinion on them is.
So there it is, to get it looking like this i have spent around £400 including the price of the car, this has got me front and rear bumpers, slam panel, all the lights, boot lid albeit a little dented but a vast improvment on the last one, 1 alloy wheel which means i now have five 4 are in good condition but one on the car will have to be replaced come MOT time, 1 new tire and the grill which snapped in the post and has been meshed pretty badly so will be coming off to be repaired soon.
The bonnet is dented above the drivers side headlight but I can live with that, and it still has the large dent running along the rear of the passenger side which hopfully if it all runs smoothly again i will think about getting it fixed. The exhaust is hanging far to low for my liking and i have been informed that it is actually an argos back box
so i will soon be on the market for possibly a full system with cat when funds alough, however still being in sixth form and only working at weekends, seems ages away. Oh an one last thing i still need to replace the spoiler on the boot, but i currently cant get the boot lid to fit flush.
Thanks for reading, look forward to reading your thoughts or should i say faults
