"The Paintjob is the shit left overs from the previous owner, he did get the car cheap as fuck though, not bad a 16v Rallye.

Mirror caps were previously orange, ones gone missing and the other was damaged in the accident where he got smashed into & there were Morettes on the car last week, Nino has to sell them to pay for the respray and repair work due to a cunt who drove off It was a much nicer car tbf to Nino, just one cunt destroyed his project"

thank you dom!

yehh the rallyes mine will get sorted soon enought... this is the blog of it more in its peak !

Because of the dirt? Haha.. Nope, its just a bypass near me, new road and the car seems to pick up all the shit from it

I want them Nimrods back!

I admit I destroyed the car when I sold them :/

Did you get the boss btw?

quiky11 · 7th February 2011, 13:50

yeah, ahh those bypasses dont help, and i spose you don't have the advantage of having a white car even though there one of my favourite coloured gti.

ermm not sure yet im at work shall find out about 3 when im home and let you know, cheers mate

quiky11 · 7th February 2011, 20:26

havnt received it yet mate, maybe tomorrow

Dom · 11th February 2011, 00:37

Any luck with the boss yet? Should have got there by now, Royal Mail must be getting shite!!

Dom · 21st March 2011, 06:14

Right, pick up from where I left off, after alot of consideration I eventually decided to sell up on the 106 to get a Clio 182. Hey, a new job meant alot more money and alot more experience working on the Engineering side of things. Thinking I was King Ding at this point.

Then I listened to quite a few friends, saying I can't give up on a project that I badly wanted to work out. Received quite a lot of stick from some 106 loners.

I flipped a coin. Hey, the Pug won.

Time to put some plans together;

Exterior;

- Angel Eyes
- Team Dynamics 1.2's or get the Nimrods back?
- Neaten up the Paintwork!
- Raise the rear by 30-40mm

Interior;

- Grind out the Gearstick lock
- Fix the drivers side window, A MUST FOR THE SUMMER!
- Uprate Front Speakers

Engine Bay

- AT Power Throttle Bodies
- Ph3 Cams
- Predator ECU
- JP4 Cam Covers

Little Niggles;

- 2x New Driveshafts
- Coilpack
- Fuel Filter
- Engine bay clean up
- Get the fans working again

Yes I have grown out of the 106/Saxo stage, Yes I can buy a Clio 182 and Insure it for what im going to spend on the Pug but I aint going to give up on a project just because of a few set backs. If I wanted a perfect sensible car, I would have bought a shitty Corsa 1.2 back in 2010.

Watch this space!

Proffitt · 21st March 2011, 13:04

L20VTS · 21st March 2011, 13:20

I know exactly what you mean *Cough*Cough* Naming no names. I was pretty gutted to see how many great 106/Saxo's I kind of idolised get broken for bits!

Quite good tbh, Need a good clean, break dust is on a few and I don't have any wheel cleaner, think 2 are immaculate and the other 2 have only slight curb marks, Tufty owned them before me so he can vouch for the good condition..

Interested in a swap? What are the tyres like on the 1.2's?

Is that an accurate figure? Or just pub talk?

Anyways Dom, Just keep going with it mate, you'll go forwards eventually

moxy89 · 21st March 2011, 19:33

1 was new 2 months ago, 1 has about 5mm tread, the other about 4mm tread.. How much you thinking your way? I have a price in mind but seeing what you want..
