Mk1 vtr *New pics Page 5* - Saxperience

Josh-VTR · 23rd November 2009, 18:58

Right, I bought this 5th October 09. £600 off a friend from Stokesy.
When I bought it there was a 5" universal backbox on it, lowered 50mm all round. 72,000 miles so thought it was a good price.

Things I've done so far:
- Dewipered.
- Stripped out with Sparco Sprint 5 buckets and 3 point Sparco harnesses.
- Sold the VTR wheels and now have VTS wheels which need a refurb looking at gloss white or same colour as my car. Got pretty new T1Rs on too.
- 2" Supersprint backbox with straight through centre section. 4-2-1 piper manifold.
- Debadged front grill.
- Rear badges and bits of interior sprayed white. (Theme with old wheels).
- Private plates.
- Tinted windows.
- Tinted rear lights.
- Sound system NOW FOR SALE £100 SUB AND AMP As I have the car stripped out I have no need for this.

Also for sale is the old exhaust, standard mk1 centre section with 5" back box welded on. £60

First thing I did was get rid of the old sub as it had no box and bought a Vibe 12" sub with amp. £150 in total.
Also got tints on the back 3 windows - another £150.

Few days later my sax-p stickers came through

Had my back lights tinted as well

I'm going for the colour theme of white and gunmetal. So took my wheels off this weekend and sprayed them white, and some of the interior as well.

Done the center console as well, but no pics

In this you can see I've also changed my grill (swapped with my friend - it's matte black at the minute, although it's not to obvious. Just trying to decide what colour to spray hmm.

Well sanding down we had a sander, and there was 4 of us, but we were pissing about. Everyone says it takes like 3 days, but sprayed 2/3 layers of primer, 2/3 layers of paint in hmm 2 hours that's with sanding.
Then in the morning I did the laquer because I was tired. It's well worth it
