Comments: My mum and dad bought it for me for my first car ready for when i turned 17 and get my licence. Few mechanical jobbies need sorting still, but it's not too bad, still runs pretty sweet

Here's a few pics of when i got it:

How it looked after a clean on the first day:

Wheels and tyres now on, weights on the inside of wheels. 185/50/14 Dunlops.

Got my pressed plates. And i know i said i was gonna wait til everything else was done but i cant see the point now i have them so here they are..

Arches and Sills arrived on wednesday, so spent yesterday evening and the evening today with my dad putting them on. Went over them with the heat gun first to blacken them up a bit and make them look a bit nicer.

Also got my membership pack through the post so got my sticker in the rear window now

And here's a couple photos of the arches on, first from yesterday and second from today:

UPDATE!:- 17/05/09

Supersport shocks and lowering springs all on, 40/40. I know i could have gone lower but it looks a lot better and the car will have a good amount of people a lot of the time once I'm driving anyway.

The kit:

Whilst being fitted:

Back just after it had come off the jack, so sitting a lot higher than it would be:

^ ^ Looks so much better with centre caps off i reckon ^ ^

After a bit of a drive, settled a bit. Still needs to settle a bit more i think but its pretty much at how it will be now:

And finally one from the front, with the german plate decals on to finish the plates off :

I got pink ones as thats what the colour was in '93. So thought this would be better instead of buying new ones each year :p
