Right latest thing to happen was to de-wiper the rear and bung it up (for now!)

Thanks to Alex for sending me some bungs! :afro: appreciate it mate.

Here is my latest little adventure.

A few reasons for the strip out.

I need to replace the headlining as it is sagging
Need to rewire all speakers to an Amp.
Need to get the drivers side rear arch looked at as there is a small fold!
Want to check for rust or and evidence of a water leak.

Also it could do with a real tidy up!!

Mess!


Rear seats out


Door cards and rear carpet




All carpets up and sound deadening


Side view


All the sh!t i've removed..


Carpets cleaned and put back in. Also head unit wires have been tidied up.




That's how it stands at the moment as it was too blooming cold to do any more!

My mate picked up a smashed 16v with a Vento front end for next to nothing. He salvaged the front end, sold the engine and made his money back. I then went nit picking and picked this up for £120..





2 month old AP Front Coilovers and an FK debadged grill. The coilovers as a set usually retail at around £400 for the set and the grill is £20 so not at all bad i don't think. Will have to see how bad the damage is from all the arch scraping  :sad: :grin:

Decided to get hold of some CL rear lights, here is my take on them!  :grin:

Out come so far:

Before:


After:






Ended up tintin all the red to try match it up as the indicator was darker. Masked off where the reversing lights are so they will stay white  :wink:

Camera flash makes them look weird, but i can assure you they look spot on!  :cool:

New rear lights are on the car and look awesome, still not sure if i should try going darker with them though  :undecided:

Definately prefer them to the others! :afro:





You can also see the sticker that Alex made :) Cheers mate! :afro:

In my attempts to make the car look smooth and clean, here is my latest little adventure...







De-arched and side skirts all off..

No rust at all which is a bonus. Only issue is front wing where the side skirt rivets into there is a tiny patch will i will just grind off  :grin:

Now looking for some complete CL trim if anyone has any they want to sell me :)
