The 105bhp Track Flatarch; 18months out.

I had became a taxi service, in my few months of driving people loved travelling with me and loved my little sax. Then the worst thing that could of happened... happened. (click here for full info)







Completely distressed another saxo was not the way forward for me...

I didn't know what to do.. then i began to strip my saxo and parts became up for sale

I learnt so much in stripping the saxo that I felt I hadn't lost everything, I am now in the middle of preparing for engine removal which shall be... interesting

I searched for a new saxo and my luck soon came to me through the form of the "friday ad"

I went to Rushden not far from where I live, and viewed a new saxo. And although very nervous I felt safe behind the wheel of a Saxo! (as the last one saved my friends and I)

Although the red sax has a minor scratch in the passenger door and the handbrake needs tightening (doing this week) it was spot on:




(sellers on the left)

I soon got the car home and immediately got my mk1 smoked rears back on and gave her a thorough clean removing the sweets and chips stuck to the carpet, I also put my old wheel trims on.




The plans now begin to pile up. First I took her for a little photoshoot.

I took the car home that night and that day I had moved my old white saxo onto my grass front drive (this would be where my red saxo would go) I parked next to the white saxo and still quite emotional I ensured myself that It would never happen to the red saxo now nicknamed by the gf "Bruce" (she doesn't want the car to be a girl) Looking at them side by side kinda gives you a idea as to what I mean.





Onto bigger and Better:

So let the modifying begin (green = completed, red=yet to be done)
There was a list here, needless to say it has become negligble and nothing was really followed!

I can say one thing, Welcome to the slowest progress thread
