    after this i bought two rust free wings, then after this i found out i had rusty sills so i had these replaced along with a few other bits that needed doing after i got it back i was going to do it on the cheap and fill all the sills my self then put my side skirts over them to hide any bits i did a bit rubbish but i decided to get a full respray instead and have some one whos better at body work than me to do it i just didnt know what colour. From this i started to strip the car fully

    after this i went round asking body shops how much they would do the whole car for either just the outside or inside and out and the prices wernt much different so i decided it would be just as much work to do it a different colour so i decided on suzuki swift cobalt blue, and also decided to get the engine bay stitch welded incase i wanted to put an xe in eventually, so the car had the bay done and soon after went up to the body shop, i bought a new bonnet and tank off auzzie as i had a holy tank heres some pics of it at the body shop

    Liked it more on the Pokra rims. Is the engine bay covered in stonechip?
