My first car...

I recieved this little 1 litre saloon for my birthday from Mr Burgo :d

I have quite a bit planned for it but being as i've never even had a car before (I can't even drive yet!) I will be needing lots of help getting it sorted. I plan to get stuck in as much as possible though! :)

Some of the jobs being done are;

-Brown interior being put in
-The chairs being changed to tilty ones
-Engine being converted to a 1.2
-The fuel lines and tank need changing
-Wheels are being changed and will be made to 5 stud
-Paint the door cards
-A general polish and tidy up
-Replace the indicator lights
-Sort out the dents
-Put a stereo in

There are more but i'm too tired too think lol

So far we've put the brown interior in and yesterday I had much fun taking part a seat and replacing it with tilting ones from Burgos estate. The seats were also re covered with brown material.

When I have a spare few moments i'll add more pictures and i'll think of more jobs that need to be done.

I can't wait to get stuck in! :thumb:

Awesome!! i like it, oh and Happy Birthday for when ever it was :)

Thankyou. Was ages ago now :)

Good to see your own wip thread Tan, ill be keeping my eye on this one:thumb:

Looks good:)

How old are you? As a first car with a declared engine conversion will be horrendous on insurance won't it?

If it was me, I'd leave it as a 1.0 for now, get a years ncb, then go for the engine you choose.

21 :)
I'm pretty sure when we checked out what the insurance would be like roughly it wasn't overly bad.

Tbh at the moment the engine is the last job on my list...actually getting driving is my number one priority lol

Very cool 1st car.
Plans sound good :)
