Good luck with the wedding mate
I seen your engine in the car and fell back, then I saw the millage on it and almost passed out, how can it be that high? What's it been doing? Clocking the ring all it's life? Lol, good project though

Haha. Cheers mate. We’re not sure about the history. The car came with no paperwork at all so we’re just chancing it at the moment. The engine feels pretty solid, and from looking underneath the exhaust and rear beam look almost new. It’s just the rest of the car that needs some attention. It has been owned by the same person for the majority of its life so we’re hoping that it has been looked after. It is definitely the highest mileage Saxos I’ve ever seen though.

Mileage on a saxo wouldnt concern me, shell rot would so if its got to 185k without too much of that (seemingly would have to be consudering its on the road) id say you'd be fine. Get it to 285k! lol

There are a few patches of rust, mainly on the wings. But the shell and chassis are spot on.

Some big updates this weekend. Firstly Nathan has been driving all over the country picking up bits for the Icelandic. We now have two genuine OMP Strada bucket seats, along with two black door cards fitted with Alpine tweeters (thanks to jbrady72 for the door cars). We also got some new Pioneer front speakers to replace the existing broken ones. We have fitted the door cards but the OMPs will need new subframes before we can mount them in to the car.
Secondly, car number 2 has arrived. Some of you may have seen the tread posted last week about the Saxo VTS used in Gavin and Stacey. We sent a few messages to the owner, agreed a price (way over what a Saxo is worth) and picked it up on Saturday. The car is completely standard, aside from a green cotton air filer. It even has the original headunit. It’s done a mere 70k, which is banging for a 15 year old car and has a load of supporting paperwork for MOTs and services, along with some documents about it being used in Gavin and Stacey. Mechanically the car is perfect and has recently had a timing belt change. The bodywork is another story, it’s a bit rough in places and it needs a few things sorting out.
Here are a few pictures and a YouTube link of the car in the TV show:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLs2ibIVQwM
We don’t want to modify the VTS too much because it will ruin its originality and devalue it as being the one from Gavin and Stacey. So the plans are to make a few reversible mods, which we can strip off again to put the car back to standard before we sell it. We’re going to tidy it up, get the dents out, refurbish the alloys, replace the broken headlight panel and remove the battered green cotton filter. Then lower it, fit a nice new air intake, upgrade the audio and fit a subtle sounding backbox.

The door cards definitely make a massive difference to the interior.

Apologies for the lack of developments with Project Wedding Sax. We’ve both been either busy or away on holiday over the last couple of weeks so we’ve not had the chance to get much done. But we have some big updates are coming later this week...
