Stevie_Stokes Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Hey Everyone. This is to be my very first car project. up until now, the most i had done was change a tyre and change the oil with my dad.But here goes.. and i hope over the coming months.. you guys can help with more of the inspiration its given me to start work on my car.So here is were i began.. Lupo 01' 1.7 SDI... Standard.Then was the turn to fit new coil-kits that my dad bought for my mums lupo aaaages ago and never used (:And this was the result. I Think i may still have to get a custom spring to bring the back down a bit.Then, to keep me going.. i turned my attention to the wheels. Ideally i want some stretched badboys. but i will have to wait for a little while.And badge.. and for the moment..waiting for the next idea. jsut keeping her clean Please tell me what you think.. WIP most definately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_Stokes Posted June 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Yeah... back is still high. I think the coil-overs are just Sports.. does anyone know from the photo of the suspension?. Caus iv heard similar stories about the Front being Slammed and the back not so much and Vice-VersaAnd also, dispite it being very soon into the build.. iv found some 13" x 7 Dished alloys.Forgetting about the tires obviously.. the bloke wants £150 for the set.Im just worried about front wheel turning clearance.Any Advise?Steve.

gucciwah Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 nice wheels. ask if you can try before buy, you'l need new to get new tyres as those ones dont really look as if theres much thread left in them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
