HAIRBear Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) My cars been spread over a load of random threads everytime i did something or took a few new photos but just wanted to start a proper thread to keep adding to (plus im really really bored lol) so just a quick run through of what ive put it through between buying and now lol ...Bought the car looking like this around a year ago:then melonman kindly lent me his gti wheels which improved it one hell of a lot in my opinion! grew less fond od the side skirts daily. They sat a bit lower than the rest of the body work and drove me crazy, i liked them front the front but really didnt like them from the back, so they had to come off...loved it like this...but got a tad carried away at the concept of coilovers and just kept winding them down. school boy error. The front was far too low tbh, the rims were so far in the arches i could barely turn the wheel and a 3 point turn turned into a 20 point turn. being a skint student not a lot happened for a while but i was on the look out for some nicee freshhh rims... also picked up some porsche seats...these sat around in my front room for monthss as i didnt think i could afford to get them fitted...but turns out they only cost me 120 including electrics all up and running lol so a bit gutted i didnt get them in any sooner! and the rims...Mattig steels 13x8 et 10(ish) £280 of paint/labour later and they looked like this...and not to forget the gash on the dash lol: think this will be coming off soon though for something a little smarter. Ive also polished up the rocker cover and painted the engine cover......WHITE believe it or not haha most recent pic: Porsche seats are now in so i will try get some pics of them later today electrics arnt working on the drivers side so the guy is going to make up a whole new system and make some switches to go onto the blank spaces for alarms ect infront of the gear stick...which should be coool! next on the to do list: - perfect all the body work - front number plate recess smoothed in-smaller number plate on the rear and smaller number plate recess to match-looking into a boot build inc double din HU-retrim the front seats and door cards ect-suede dash would be nice.-try get the back down a tad further Edited April 16, 2010 by HAIRBear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamiea7x Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 loving this the gash is a cool idea but would end up looking a little tackynot usually a fan of bra's but in white it certainly suits your car man good job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
