Ashh Posted January 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 This happened yesterday;Had to strip the custom one out, and replace it with the original! unfortunately i dont have a single DIN headunit so it's been replaced with this;The centre console is being given a bit of treatment but before i send it off i need to finish the fiberglassing behind the iphone mount, as it was causing this to happen when the heaters were on;All will be back in by hopefully 10th february!

Ashh Posted January 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 So today i gave her a quick clean and trial fitted two of the wheels that i've almost finished.I used AG glass polish and megs glass cleaner and got this;Wheels off;Wheels on;I'm quite happy with how they've come out, when they get worn i'll be stripping them back down and using my cousins spray shop to get them done for good.Just need to finish the barrels of the wheels and tyres will be on and they'll be fitted for good.Then its time for some rollin'!Ash.

Ashh Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 So after a lot of changes in my life i've been neglecting poor LuLu.Today saw her left in a carpark, filthy as anything and could not even see through the rear window, except where somebody had drawn a pretty flower in my dirt And numerous other 'drawings'.So i took her home, and treated her to a clean, polish and wax!Heres the results;Lovely and clean Tried lowering the front a bit more, but my coilovers are seized any ideas?Interior will hopefully be back this week sometime, can then get that all fitted and move onto the next mod Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
