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.
Dash
- 
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  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.

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

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

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.

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?
