    Default Project slow saloon



    So this is the saloon which I like to call "Sally".
    I bought her from a lovely girl down near Brighton for a very reasonable price.
    It's been slow progress, but some progress is better than none.

    First thing I did was remove the horrible "trip" stickers on the side.

    I then was persuaded to become part of the "redbull crew"




    She was sitting way to high for my liking and I also took the horrible wheels that came with the car off and got my astra wheels on.

    So I then went and purchased these:


    Which took it from this:


    To this:


    I did have a full set of the centre caps until one night and some knob decided to steal them an just leave one on.

    Just a few more of how she sits now




    I then decided to purchase some pinstripe tape off fleabay and for £6 I can't complain


    I haven't got any on the rear bumper because well.... I don't have too much patience, so I have some more on the way.

    Then my pal texts me saying he has a mk1 fiesta roof rack laying around I could have and I deffinetly wasn't going to turn him down


    And I just couldn't resist after seeing this


    And that's about it so far, all thoughts good/bad welcome etc
    Thanks
