Mauritius blue vtr YEY or NEY on wheel colour ?

[chrisw1991]

Decided start a new thread for this as i never updated the other 1 much and just got lost really. So had this about a year now got it for £350 bargain really spent about 700 getting it right for the road and this is how she 1st looked

after a few months did a few things and looked like this







so things am looking at getting done in next few weeks
-finish of the widemouth
-make the gti mirrors look a little better as they look abit tatty at the moment
-sort the boot out as i broke the badges not sure whether to debadge it just get some new badges yet ?

think thats it though for now as this might be going off road soon to try and fix headgasket and should be driving this

Mk1 Mauritius blue vtr with a mk2 engine in. Just getting it ready for mot and welding this week hopefully

[chrisw1991]

cheers

[chrisw1991]

so i found this the other day




Holes in both coners

so sorted the rust out

then filled in not tidy but does the job



Hopefully shouldnt have any more problems with sunroof for a while

[chrisw1991]

been a while since i updated this but been busy finishing off the other vtr to get it ready for the road. Had all welding done and got it all under sealed twice for a really cheap price which is good passed mot and then since iv had it just been sorting over bits out. These are only pictures i have of it at min havnt really taken any pictures whilst doing any work on it cause it just keeps annoying me =/. Just cant seem get in the mood to do anything with it anymore as when i would do 1 job id find something else wrong with it but its fine now really just need some inspiration any way heres pics:




the seats are out of a 106 as the seats that were in this were just a mess really =/ but got these for free so

will try and get some better pics of it tomorrow after giving it a good clean cause its filthy :/.

Best colour by far! Look forward to updates.

[chrisw1991]

is 1 of the best but who ever has had it before me has never cleaned it by looks of things needs a real good cleaning sesh

[chrisw1991]

So went out to take few better photos of car and camera decided break so just got these few with phone for now





Things done:
-3 holes been welded and then whole car and boot undersealed twice
-all arches undersealed
-new downpipe
-apprantly lowered 40mm but sometimes looks bit lower
-new seats
-headlining and pillars done in blue suede
-Dewipered
-false floor in boot

Things to do:
-needs a new clutch
-doors need sorting as they dont shut unless you shut them like really carefully dead annoying not sure what it is yet
-get a new bonnet and grill as they are both just full of chips
-redo headlining as it has sagged in the middle in hot weather
-tint fogs yellow
-smoke headlights
-lower the back to match the front
-debadge
-respray alloys

[chrisw1991]

done a few bits this weekend and gave it a really good clean again

got rid of these chavvy looking washer jets

back to standard put some aero wipers on too

tinted fog lights yellow and installed led sidelights and hids

sidelights

hids


T-cuted the rear badges

used some oven cleaner stuff on these this time and brought them up black in seconds ! much easier than using tcut

Some quick pictures of car after wash



Couple of reflection shots

[chrisw1991]

tinted the headlights today came out quiet good seeing as its 1st time iv ever done it just need tint the fogs now

[chrisw1991]

so thought id try and be a little different and went for a creamy colour for my alloys. Only done 1 at moment, will get some better pictures when iv done them all but my camera isnt catching the colour right looks white in some photos. Tell me what you think guys






Also starting a boot build its not finished yet bit untidy in places but should look alright when done
