oil
oil fiilter
fuel filter
coolant and thermostat

and stripped rear part of car coz some welding needed to be done..

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 01:16

ok now it's been a while since las update..
there is one arch (worst one by far) before welding

after welding

and passed MOT with no probs at all

Edit: took my front grill out before welding as I wanted to paint it.

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 01:30

got new 4x uniroyal rainsport 2

had no aquaplaning ever since.. with few exceptions (you really have to hit large puddle in speed)

and raised bonnet for a summer time..
still had no time (or just being to lazy) to paint front grill and drove without one lol

fitted lightweight alternator pulleys + belt

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 01:35

don't know how it happened but like a month ago mentioned this

so I have fixed it now lol

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 01:37

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 01:41

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 01:45

DanTvts · 8th June 2012, 08:48

Whoa that was rusty! Any rust in the other common places? Glad to see you're keeping it looking good! Best colour

ordinary-vts · 8th June 2012, 13:28

that was the worst part by far..
there were some rust in 2nd corner but it didn't even leak.. welded anyway..

ordinary-vts · 17th August 2012, 21:39

fitted upper and lower strut braces

ordinary-vts · 17th August 2012, 21:40

DanTvts · 18th August 2012, 08:25

Have you got a leaky sump? Looks like its been leaking from somewhere anyway.
Braces look good

Uniroyal Rainsport 2's were my favourite tyres of all the ones i used on the saxo, was surprised by how good they actually are!
