love the car mate need to do the same with my rear bumper as i've got a smoothed tailgate my number plate is attact to the bumper but wanna fab the lights into a recess like urs. love it mate

coming along nicely, still abit high at the mo tho. When u lower it id run 185/45/15's on the rear, i couldnt drop my car below 60mm or so with 195's on with 8" wheels on the back and thats with trimming some arch work to give a couple extra mm's! It all counts, lol. Mines down around 80mm or so now. Wont go any lower without a bigger stretch or camber which cant be done on the rear. Can't even get my little finge in between the gap between the arch & the wheel!

As for the front u'll prob find the GAZ collies wont go down as far as ud like, mine are wound all the way down & id say they only go 80mm or so MAX! U still have a fare gap between the arch & the wheel & im running 15's BUT with a pritty big stretch, might be ok for you.

dont like the euro scene but realy nice mate good diy work.

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Still trying to figure out how to get the car down, maybe 185's 175's or 14" wheels with stretch? Chassis notched which is more money, will need to be ready for show time.

nobbs51 · 30th January 2010, 10:52

looks smart now pal. Ive got some 8x15" compomotive th lines for mine. Think i will run a 185x45x15 tyre now after reading your thread. Keep up the good work!

Winny · 7th March 2010, 13:52

New wheels being built up this week, 14" x 9J

Just needs the 195 tires on with plenty of stretch!

Another lowering, then its onto the engine bay and interior!

Quality car mate. Love this thread!!

Winny · 18th April 2010, 13:46

I haven't really whored a lot of pics lately on this forum so I spent an hour playing with the SLR in the sun at my Grandads house.

I know its not a very ghetto place to shoot but it'll do lol.

Excuse the steels, Schmidts /should/ be here Thursday!

Steels!

Had to climb onto his roof for these lol, but worth it for the last one imo!

I haven't ran any of these through photoshop, just good light on the paint.

chrisvtr1989 · 18th April 2010, 14:34

im running 175 tyres on 8.5j wheels if that helps in anyway?
one thing, i can see everyone saying your copying chandlers old car, (same colour-ish and wheel choice). i personally think it looks nice and will look great with the new rimage but prepare yourself for them type of comments when you go to shows

Winny · 18th April 2010, 14:48

I wanna pull away from that with a red re-trim and then attack it with a VTS lump dropped in, we'll see anyway. I just picked brown/bronze because its "euro" and they're aren't so many 14" wheels that come in the dimensions TH Lines do, that look as good as they do. People can say what they like haha.

Thanks for the comments anyway, I think your car looks sick. Love the banded steels and interior, are you coming to the cleaned spring meet?

SaxoIOW · 18th April 2010, 14:56

Awsome! Really like the sound of the red re trim aswell. I am re trimming the roof lining and pillers in red suede at the moment, should be done soon

J222JRA · 18th April 2010, 15:19

Looks very tidy....i hope the interior is on the to do list???

jamieross · 18th April 2010, 15:48

i like the colour of this!

geordie_alex · 18th April 2010, 16:18

very cool little saxo, love the colour reminds me of a Mk1 golf I saw, add a little chrome to the mix and you have a very old skool looking car.

Rob-6 · 18th April 2010, 18:40

lot of hard work gone into this by the looks of it, paid off though it looks mint!

Winny · 30th April 2010, 17:51

My shipment of win has arrived! (finally)

Still waiting for gold 3-piece bolts, gold wheel studs and spike center caps, which are arriving via a seperate courier, and a hub boss which is somewhere in Italy?!

I'll put the wheels on as they are and get some pictures up.
