View Full Version : update and pics on the my beast
well as some of you might remember i was going to spray my cav gsi wheels a couple months back, i did them white. then didnt have a digi cam so couldnt get pics up so finally got some on the computer.

still loads to do to it, sorting the engine out next then the interior, which will consist of a 6 point cage and 2 buckets:)
also not sure if i want to lower the back any more, and might do the wheels a different colour, was thinking dimond cut, but dont think they'd go with the track car style of it when its done:confused:
what you all think so far? will put pics up of inside later.
lew
mint that is for a MK1. I want! Yeah two buckets and bugger all else is the best! Mine now weights 820kg, not bad for 1400SR tbf lol
yer well around there where i took the pics is just the usually bendy roads, it hanndles good but amgoing to make it better, am off out in a minute to take out the roof lining i think.

luvin that mate!
are those cavvy rims white or is it just my pc?
btw: novaco hows your's coming on? last i saw/heard it was being sprayed rover amarth purple iirc?
Grill red, wheels black - job done.
I had cav GSi rims in black on my black 1.6SRi and it looked mean as, but on a red car I'd go with white rims for that motorsport look. Espcially if he's stripping it out and caging it up with buckets etc etc
lol not again, i backed out of going for anthracite or black when i was doing them. and yer im going to get another grill and do it red, i want to keep one grey as iv got another set of bumpers which i'll do grey and if i ever feel like a change i'll just swap them over.
but yer im going to leave these ones white and get some other wheels done in black, for spares and track day. was thinking of doing that with my tsw alpines. what you recon, only for trackdays and spares sort of thing.
and yes they are white mate.

Looking good Lewis, get the interior sorted i.e. have you fixed them door cards?
Do you need a spare Cav Rim? As I have a minter with tyre?
hey chris.......?
just put a gsi dash in now aswell mate, so the digi looks even better. still need to fix the central locking on the passenger side, then i can rivet that one in. the driver side one is on a treat.

thats well nice mate, is that a gsi front bumper? or is it part of a body kit?
How much do you think i would be looking at to get the grey bumpers and grey bits around the bottom of my doors painted red to match the paintwork if i went to a bodyshop, and also would i have to declare it as a mod on my insurance?
thats a GTE bumper, the grey bits on the doors are viynl and would need to removed to expose the metal work underneath. A heat gun and a big tin of elbow grease normally does the trick! lol
Looks very nice indeed, leave the wheels white, they look better white than black.
yer am going to mate. just carnt wait to get the engine and seats now.
cheers for the comments guys.

The Sport is having a few enhancments;).
The Swing is now being kept standard and original(I am 2nd owner/genuine 27k car) as I prefer it that way
Purchased a 1 owner 53k Spin in white, mint shell and so putting the XE in that as it has no sunroof.
If I didnt have to work they would all be done by nowlol Although the ball and chain would have something to say bout that and have me working on the house!
