the leather seats look great matey! in awsome condition from what i can see??? keep up the good work!

shooorn94 · 7th May 2008, 14:52

A bit of wear here and there but they're just spot on, gave them some TLC once I bought them and got them to quite a nice standard... never thought I'd be shaving a seat though tbh.

On another note another bloke arrived with a flatbed lorry to tow away my old car on my front!

"Can I help you sir?" Continues poking around my car, lifting bonnet.

"You just called about a car?" Said the teeth missing fat bald bloke.

"Nope not me,"

"Oh you're not 137?"

*Pointing at number on front door* "Nope afraid not, 137 is down the road by the flats"

Waiting for him to go past with an actual car on the back now

haha shaving a seat! u use after shave on them after to make them smell nice

shooorn94 · 7th May 2008, 19:39

No after shave I'm afraid got the rough treatment.

The bloke didn't come past with a car, but when I had a look earlier there was a smashed up punto in a culdesac next to 137

tbh mate there's nothing obscenely wrong with the plastics I have on now, I just want to experiment for a bit, I do have my old cars wheels (10 steelies in all) all with tons of tread (wheelspinning is for noobs).

I reckon they would look awesome in red with a white lip. Could look really good that mate

I do like the lip look, so May take it into consideration when it comes to spraying

Car looks nice mate, leather int mmmmmmm

moxy89 · 24th May 2008, 12:51

get some comp mo's FTW, i got mine yesterday love them to bits THANKS AdamH

Saxy1 · 24th May 2008, 13:09

good progress.

shooorn94 · 9th June 2008, 15:44

Not really an update as such, but as it was such a good day and I had an hour to kill I felt I'd go for a random trip to one of my favourite roads in Northants to get some shots and chill out for a bit:

God knows why I took this shot (hubcaps ftw!)

Now as I have been driving all over the place the last week (manchester, Birmingham, leicester, Silverstone) I've noticed a squeak noise from the front of the car... it may be the suspension? If so I'm praying that when I change everything when it comes to lowerring (not just opting for springs) the noise will disapear.

Also my horrible exhaust can be beautifully heard here

The power of the 1.1

As to the above I'm after some white comp mo's, but dependant on my money situation I may do a 4 stud hub conversion

Berg · 9th June 2008, 18:03

paint the wheels red with the white lip

rat look

nona_vtr · 13th July 2008, 02:53

looks good m8

shooorn94 · 8th August 2008, 21:28

Insurance is set to be renewed in september right after my MOT (expensive month for me) But this means I can finally get my wheels.

And sort out my exhaust system... I'm after Snewham's old setup so something a bit like:

Supersprint 4-2-1 manifold
Supersprint *race* centre section
Sportex 4" inwardly rolled backbox
Raceland enclosed induction kit with green filter.

As I liked the sound and he had gains of around 15bhp

However the centre section I may have to look for a more legal un-decatted section

Anyway the wheels I've been looking at are white comp mo's but are rather expensive but look gorgeous...

Either that or the following wheels:

I'm undecided on black or white wheels atm, as I am atm going for a smoked theme but I loved Suki and was aiming for suki's look... tough decision and comp mo's would go with this. But the wheels I have in these pics are going cheaply atm.
