Hi everyone been on here for a while now so thought it was about time to get a project thread started, i belive it was owned by a member on here Aamir iirc (not sure if he is still a member) then my mate bought it off him where it was left sitting on his aunties drive for a year and hadnt been touched before i decided to save it:p. I bought the old girl in september few months short of my birthday for £90 which was a result and also ment i had enough time to get everything done. There was a hole in the boot floor and the arches wernt terrible but needed work and i wanted to do a few bits to make it my own.
this is how i got it (taken all the pictures on my phone so not the best quality):

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00127-20100929-1527.jpg
After the boot was welded and the arches were sorted i orderd a few bits just to tidy it up abit, de-wiperd the boot and started to rub it down.

Repaint it in the original colour imo! No problems with interior etc not matching (assuming you're not paying out thousands for a good inside and out job) and that colour looks awesome.

AdamK
08-01-11, 03:01 PM
I do like the original colour but to get it resprayed in the original colour is going to cost more and im on a tight budget as im not working atm and the bits that you can see inside are getting done (below the windows in the door shuts, boot bonet etc.)

MK999
08-01-11, 03:08 PM
must be cheaper to get just the outside done in original colour than have a spot on job of black done... black shows up imperfections far worse.

AdamK
08-01-11, 03:13 PM
Im paying £200 for the job as its through a friend of a friend of my grandads whos a car painter for a living and said the job would normally cost about 6 7 hundred so i cant moan and its my first car not a show car

Is the Ashley exhaust any good? Is it just the backbox and does it sound loud? Decent car for the price and is going to look good black.

AdamK
11-01-11, 02:48 PM
Its just the backbox mate and it does sound nice its no stupidly loud but its nice and deep hopefully when i sort my de cat out should be hearing a few pops and bangs aswell:d

AdamK
12-01-11, 05:54 PM
I also like the standard colour but its had repairs been smoothed and the dinks and scratches you expect on a 19 year old car so something needed doing and i chose to paint it black but as said before it may be returned to its original colour one day depending on what route the car goes down as i plan on keeping it for a while:thumb:

AdamK
14-01-11, 06:05 PM
Small update. Got the car back today quite pleased with the job few little bits need sorting but for the money i paid for it i cant really moan, did start to put the car back together then the heavens decided to open so not much got done in the end. Hopefully tomorow i can get it finished and get some pictures up as i didnt get a chance to get any today:/

AdamK
15-01-11, 02:21 PM

LEWI007
15-01-11, 07:42 PM

Prefered the blue, but it looks good both ways.

AdamK
23-01-11, 05:55 PM

Long overdue i know but there hasn’t been too much worth updating.

The bumper i got off ebay i didnt get a refund for in the end ebay sided with him due to it saying that it had been damaged repaired so they couldnt refund me for it still being damaged:mad:.

So today we went and picked up a rear gsi bumper and started the repair work on the front one.

Started like this:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00106-20110320-1308.jpg
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00107-20110320-1309.jpg
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00109-20110320-1309.jpg

We then put a plate in the bottom damaged area to get the shape back:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00110-20110320-1616.jpg

And fixed the broken struts back in with a couple of tiny screws:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00121-20110320-1632.jpg

And then with abit of this and abit of fire:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00112-20110320-1620.jpg

We did this:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00113-20110320-1621.jpg
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00114-20110320-1622.jpg
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00115-20110320-1625.jpg

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00122-20110320-1634.jpg

It then looked like this:

20-03-11, 07:13 PM
And with abit of filler it now looks like this:

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00128-20110320-1709.jpg
Ready for rubbing down tomorow morning.

Then we moved on to rubbing the back one down and getting that ready for paint.

Started like this:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00104-20110320-1141.jpg

And finished like this:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00105-20110320-1308.jpg

I did put abit of paint on the damaged areas just to start building it up ready for tomorow but didnt get any pics of this.

Also declusterd my rear lights:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00101-20110319-1406.jpg

Fitted my DTM’s:

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00129-20110320-1745.jpg

AdamK
20-03-11, 07:13 PM
And painted my horn push:
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00102-20110319-1409.jpg
It is finished now just forgot to get a pic of it.

Iv also got my gsi dash in now and all the black trim, carpets and painted my headlining which i didnt get any pics of at the time but will put some up if i get a chance to take some tomorow.

I put some clear sidelights back in so my hid’s dont look so blue and a few other bits like that so its finally coming together now just need some seats and front doorcards.

How i left her today looking slightly less sorry for herself
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG00103-20110319-1759.jpg

Sorry about the rubbish pictures stupid blackberry il try get some better ones with a digital camera tomorow.

Plan for the next couple of weeks is to get under the bonnet finished painting cleaning etc getting the wheels off and cleaning up all the suspension and brake components and generally tidying up but will try and get an update in tomorow.

Cheers for reading:thumb:

back bumpers finished just waiting for paint to go rock hard before a good polish but overall happy with the finish

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG_0044.jpg

this will be fitted tomorow hopefully depending on how drunk i get tonight lol

still havent got any paint for the front one yet but got few pics of it in primer
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG_0018.jpg

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG_0021.jpg

the last two pictures are of where the damage was dont think its to far off the shape considering how bad it was so im happy with it just need to get the struts fixed in properly and get some paint on it which again should get done tomorow if i get a chance.

couple of the old girl in the sunshine in dire need of a wash and polish, stupid cement works near my house just blows **** all over it every few hours:mad:

tiny update

not much but i thought it keep this up to date.

went and colleceted the back part of a gsi rear bench day before yesterday needs a clean but no marks tears/wears ect and got it free so cant complain.

Also just bought these, dunno why she still hasnt taken them off but payments been sent and couriers on their way so should be here sometime this week.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180648735664&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

so got some nice front seats on the way aswell £90 including couriers charge so cant complain about that eitha:)

just need to work out how im going to mount my harnesses aswell i dont want to not use a back seat because iv got a fair amount of moneys worth of system going in the back and dont really want that to be on display for obviouse reasons.

was thinking as iv already got it just to use the rear part of the bench so it encloses the boot and everything can be hidden away then just paint the floor where the bottom bit of the seat would be and mount the harnesses where they normally go or to use the bottom bit aswell?

update soon

http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG_0060.jpg

other than that not much has happend should hopefully get my scorpion system deliverd tomorow been waiting a couple of days so should be here just need to cut the main silencer out and decide weather to keep the cat or not.

over the next couple of days im going to go through the car do the little bits that need finishing and im getting some 2ltr brakes and a gsi cam off a mate so they will need to be fitted then i think its time to hit the scrap yard see if i can find any goodies:d

thats it for now il try and update as soon as i can

wheel back on
http://i1047.photobucket.com/albums/b476/kenna008/IMG_0089.jpg

And thats one side done took ages because the bolts in the caliper didnt want to come out and then the dust guard screws the same but i had a driving lesson at 3 so had to stop.

finished painting my engine bay after my lesson but didnt get any pictures.

tomorow should see the other side done and the cam in then iv got to paint the floor in the back of the car so should be a decent update tomorow
