Rob's black Saxo VTS

[RobsonB]

Hey guys

I'm driving since 2003 a Saxo with (only) 75hp. This year in spring I decided to buy a VTS 16V as a new project. After a really intensive search (in Germany you need a lot of time to find a good one ) and a lot of cars in terrible conditions we find a Saxo 16V near Hamburg.

It's a black 16V from 2001 (model 2002) with ABS, 80.000 miles, less rust and a lot of repairs were done by the previous owner. Additionally the car has already a coilover (KW Variant 2 inox-line).

My planned improvements till April (new season):

- removing the rust, which is unfortunately existing
- conservation
- fresh oil
- lower the back axle
- stainless steel excaust
- OZ Ultraleggera 7x16"
- calipers from Pug 206 (266x22) with Brembo Max disc
- painting the calipers at front and back
- speedo with white illumination

I'll hope that are enough information for the first time and I can can show you tomorrow some pictures. Furthermore, I'm happy about your comments regarding my work.

Hey rob, welcome to the club

that's Rob's car right now:







the motor is in good condition!

His Ultraleggeras will be painted in white and there are still a few white accents, let yourself be surprised!
Uhm, the ugly tail lights are were changed!

Thanks Sammy for the pictures!

Yes, of cause, the car should get some white applications and better taillights. Hope all together looks fine at the end.

Thank you very much CorsaDestroyer!!! It's really awesome what a big community you have in the UK. I'll hope that I get from you some more inspirations and a sometimes a little help for my project.

Here are some more pictures from the pickup at Hamburg:



Steering wheel on the wrong side:


The engine:


Some parts has still arrived. Almost new calipers from Peugeot 206, the matching discs from Brembo (266x22) and a standard grill:



The OZ, all calipers (front and back) and the stabilizer will be powder coated these days. The grill will be painted as well. Probably next year.

Greetings
Robert

Hey rob, the Brembos are arrived? Was a fast dispatch! Hmmm, just imagine how cool the grill looks if it smoothed and it's way cheaper to paint

the old rims were really heavy, weight arround 20kg each!! good choice with the Ultraleggeras

Them plates look a lot better than our uk ones lol. Looking good but I'd change the rear lights

Thanks!
Indeed, the taillights getting changed. Stock or black ones. Still don't know at this moment.

Durring the christmas holiday nothing really happens to the car. I lay down with a cold. I just bought the original "Citroen Sport" fuel tank cap.
Hope next week to get it on.

Furthermore I plan to install the air bagged half-leather interior from a 106 GTI. I haven't one, so if somebody got one and like to sell it, than I'm your man!
