Thought I might as well start a thread on this for all you girls,
Allot of the old school members know this car allot better than the new members will, basiclly I bought this of cammedvtr last year sometime and for a year it's been sat in my garage feeling sorry for it's self collecting dust,
Anyway, I thought I should sort it out now as this month my green saxo is getting replaced with a clio v6 so this is going to be used as me daily drive and general shop runner. Not spending money on it, it's just generally getting cleaned up and brought back to it's former glory. Might be tempted to sort the fueling out on her in a couple of months or so because it's running a bit lean without a remap but it's not a major.
Before I bought it off alex he replaced allot of the cars major parts, breaks, head gasket, fuel tank... twice *wipes tear*
ooo the memories of the nurburgring, drive shafts etc.
Some older images;
The work begins; nice dusty engine.
First thing I have done is replace the old Magnex with my straight through piper system of my other saxo. Always hated magnex back boxes..
Second task; work from the inside out... Inside is immaculate so I just got the car up in the air and started on the underneath.
*yuck*
De-grease, wash and sand away rust.
De-greaser at work, good stuff.
One coat of paint later,
Underneath will get another 2 coats of paint before I seal it all off, next job after that will be the engine. Will start by taking the battery out etc and re-painting all bit's that need doing and generally whore it again. Plus re-heat wrap the manifold;
Rotary was ordered last week to sort out craigy180's paintwork, but before it goes anywhere near his mine needs doing.. alex took a liking to the kosavons.. he always was an engine man
, pah.
Shall keep this updated for you all, should be back on the road this month. Can't wait to finally take her out for a real drive
Peace out hommmmies.
