cheers mate, the wheels really have changed them, i think im gonna spray the last one tomorrow so I'll have four matching wheels lol

Its such a difference from when i was first looking at this car, really glad that you have followed through with your plans. Got to be one of my favorite saxos in concept, but just needs those little bits doing to make it stand out.

What are you doing with the white steelies now?

i dont have the steels anymore, i part ex'd them with the borbets and cheers yea i cant wait for it all to be done hopefully within a month the front bumper will be repaired/sprayed also i think im gonna have the plate recess and the tow eye smoothed this time and also i dont think i'll spray around the wide mouth this time so only the actually widemouth insert will e sprayed black should suit the car a lot more aswell as the lack mk2 spoiler, black mirrors and smoothed grille then the car should look finished on the outside

well early next week my new suspension/brakes are being fitted, and ive got my usual bodyshop guy to get me a quote to repair/spray the front bumper, spray and fit my mk2 spoiler, de-badge and spray my grille and spray my mirrors i think thats enough stuff to be getting on with lol once all that little lot is done ill be moving on to the interior again, im thinking gti rear bench and some faux leather black raceland recliners and a mk2 digi dial conversion, then i think i'll pretty much be done, if ive got money left over i wouldnt mind a 4-2-1 mani and a custom back box but i wont do anything else engine wise i dont fancy forking out more money on this bloody saxo lol i wouldnt mind getting a bora next and start a new project

I'm scared of "finishing" my car. It's an expensive hobby!

Sounds like you've got a decent amount of stuff on the go!
I want to get some recliners at some point. One thing i don't know.. is how to use the standard seat belt. Because the buckle part is attached to the standard seat, rather than the car. Is it is simple as just bolting it to the new seat or what?

I'm confused

I want to keep my rear seats.. don't want harnesses in a road car

I should be camming mine in the next few weeks, keep an eye on my thread

[jeffchiz]

it definitely is expensive!

yea im not sure on the seat belts either there must be a way of un-bolting them, and yea i dont want harnesses i dont want it to look "track" i just want some nice, supportive front seats, i wouldnt use raceland seats for the track they are really only for show imo

dont worry i'll keep an eye out lol

[gsavill90]

I just had a look under the plastic cover at the side of the seat.
There's the pretensioner thingy, and the buckle looks like it's rivetted to that.
I'm guessing you could weld/bolt the whole lot to the new seat.
I dunno... It's got to be safe hasn't it
I might make a thread asking about it

[jeffchiz]

yea start a thread if you dont i will lol

Check out this guys thread...
http://www.saxperience.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=270813

It looks like it's possible

Just not sure how neat it'll look

[jeffchiz]

hmm i think its one of those things which you need to be doing to see how it works lol im sure its simple enough, should just unbolt from the seats fingers crossed

[coxonlite]

Your saxo is mint, i just got a saxo and i think i'm aiming for something a little like yours!

I've been after some borbet a's for a while but i can't find any the right size, did you get adapters or can you find them?

cheers mate, means alot member nicole_ off here is selling a set of 15"s refurbed in any colour you want i didnt need any adapters/spacers as mine were direct fitment, but i might get some spacers just for the looks get your self a progress thread up, people like to see a wrecks to riches project lol (i read your post in the newbies forum about your car needing some work dong to it)

[coxonlite]

haha, will do, just going to wait for the sun on Monday!

I found some on ebay also for so cheap, but they're such a wierd size. We'll see though, the car came with some ridiculous rims, they're massive, low profile tyres, curbed as you like. It's only a flat arch, looks like a jeep atm!

[Tom]

It's really coming on now and I think it's got the potential to be a really nice car, just the back end really doesn't look right to me for some reason. I think the spoiler will help with that though, is there any way you could get a plate to fit the recess perfectly also?

Anyway nice work.

Anyway nice work.

the back is very plain (i think i went ott with the smoothing lol) and yea the gloss black spoiler and the right sized plate should finish it off nicely it can be a nice car i just need to sort out all the little niggling problems hopefully all before FCS!
