my Project vts - Saxperience

fiestaturbo1984 · 27th December 2007, 15:22

hey people, i havent been on this site for long, mainly due to not owning a saxo for very long lol but for the last 2 months or so i have owned a saxo that i brought for the very reasonable price of £500. it came with a nice chavvy powerflow exhaust, a green cotton induction kit, its been lowered by some amount but not sure how much and it had a full history. the only thing was a slight knock to the nsf corner. bargain i thought so the deal was done. got the car home and as you do when you look through glazed eyes i noticed exactly what needed doing. now bare in mind the crash was at around 5mph the damage sustained was basically the bonnet, ns wing and arch, the bumper grill and headlights and for some strange resaon the paint had fallen off the os arch lol. even so it was still a nice little project. anyway enough blabbering on heres a few pics of how i got it and what ive managed to do over the xmas period...

apoligies for the crap quality but they are phone pcs. had a bit of a dilema changing the plugs yesterday, got the top cover off only to find all the bolts for the amp were rounded off, took 2 hours and a lot of very carefull drilling to remove them, whilst im here though im going to remove the cam covers for polishing, then next on the list is to get hold of a bonnet and some arches and then once i have test fitted it all, remove it all again for painting. comments, critcisms welcomed lol

S1AN3Y · 27th December 2007, 15:57

fiestaturbo1984 · 27th December 2007, 16:04

i wanna get hold of some speedline turini wheels, possibly lower it a little bit more, take out the interior and fit some buckets and harnesses and then have some fun. and then when the money allows get myself some catcams, a little bit of headwork and see what happens form there

fiestaturbo1984 · 27th December 2007, 16:06

vtr_driver · 27th December 2007, 16:13

Cool good choice on the perspective wheels!! Anthracite will look good with that paint!!

Unfortunately I'm no help with what colour it is, sorry.

johnnyg_vts · 27th December 2007, 16:15

fiestaturbo1984 · 27th December 2007, 16:16

yep anthracite is what im after. think the wheels look lush, i did have a set of ronal turbos on my old frst and was goin to use them but 1 got damaged beyond repair and gettin another seemed impossible. but never mind, onwards and upwards lol

fiestaturbo1984 · 27th December 2007, 16:19

bugger it, no stickers on there at all

marc666 · 27th December 2007, 16:32

colour code is on top of the one strut by the looks

Saxo-Slag · 27th December 2007, 16:33

Think it is buckingham blue which is the same as mine.

Saxo-Slag · 27th December 2007, 16:34

It will be on the right strut. Cant see mine due to strut brace

Saxo-Slag · 27th December 2007, 16:41

Think it is the same just different lighting

Wayne · 27th December 2007, 20:41

been a little while since my last update due to work etc but i have managed to source myself a pair of cobra bucket seats trimmed in blue and cream leather including saxo subframes with seatbelts etc for a bargain of £50 off fleabay. so went to pick them up today, that was a nice 5 hour round trip to the other side of chippenham. got them home and gave them a clean and they came up quite nice. i fitted them but it was too dark to take a pic so i will get a better one tomorrow. just need to find myself some carbon doorcards and a set of harnesses.yay
