Change of plan. The cars repairable only panel damage but the build
and wheels are still for sale. Also have black
a and b pillars and sunvisors and also fibreglass tweeter pods
where the mirror adjusters are. Will also be selling
car once done.

and then ive just been prepping the vt kit for a respray with gloss black bump strips

and also made a euro grill:

let me know what you think so far...

Bad luck for the crash, but fair play to you for wanting to repair it all afterwards. The boot build looked immense, some nice work

bluenotesmiley · 11th February 2010, 01:06

White bumpers are very hard to find mate. Shouldn't be too hard to sort though mate, will be nice to see sorted. I would try a semi-gloss black on the bump strips though mate.

nice grill

phil_live · 13th February 2010, 00:24

johnlambert · 13th February 2010, 00:53

glad your getting it sorted though!!

VTRelite · 13th February 2010, 01:08

Have you put a bit of plexiglass (sp?) over the hole in the floor of the build above the saxo logo?

mattperry · 13th February 2010, 08:33

leighwinter · 13th February 2010, 09:46

bit of t-cut mate and most of that will polish out

really nice car though buddy glad your keeping it not that many white mk2 arround anymore how did you make that grill i neeeeeeed one

VJOFurio · 16th February 2010, 23:34

Good stuff, glad you're sorting it out after the crash rather than binning it like many. I did the same and spent over a grand repairing it and rebuilding it ourselves.

stormjojo1982 · 16th February 2010, 23:50

repairs looking good, will be good a white saxo back on the road instead of scrapped.

UPDATE

right paint prep pics:

Paint pics, cars only colour coded atm but the bump strips will be goin gloss black asap:

BUT as you all know by now with me the good news come with some considerably bad news...

while the bits were being painted i installed the new rad and filled it up, only to see all the fluid pissing out of the engine. so i jacked the car up and got underneath to find this:

not good, big crack in the block and a really pissed of me. but ive come this far and im not giving up now. so straight on the blower and managed to sort myself out a new engine (1.4 still) and it should be here by the weekend. so me, my mate and my dad will have the new one in in no time. and then its off to be raised and the cyclones are goin black and then goin on the car.

let me know what you think so far...
