I've been meaning to post one of these for ages, but never have as I always thought "I'll just wait until its finished...."

Turns out that it'll probably never be finished, so here it is from when I first picked it up to now:

The day I picked him up

Bump strips gone, de-badged grill and some wheels

Black rear lights and de-badged

Pressed plates and LOWERED! (no-where near as far as i want, but cant get onto my drive if its anylower, and I've got a VERY VERY long drive and dont fancy walking all the way along it everytime i want to go out!)

Was given some noise by a mate

but was to ridiculous so swapped the 2 subs for this

Wobbled around on these for a while when me other ones where sent off

Then got the paint out for when they came back

Much nicer me thinks (and only £35 a wheel for sand blasting and powdercoating!)

This turned up, then very quickly the fun bits started!

Smoothed:

Painted and with 6n2 GTi splitter

Fitted

Splash of black on the old roof

Then the front all off again...

For powerlooks!

Then this is how I am at the moment (better pics will come soon as I'm going for a photoshoot with my mate when the weather's nicer)

These still to come when the subframes turn up

Let me know what you think, and if anyones got some awsome ideas, let me know and i'll try my best to do them!

Cheers,

Jim

alright mate got your pm! hows it going?, cars looking good! i like the roof and those seats.... i swear iv seen them somewhere before! lol

oh and the 16v bumper looks really good too!!! how much did you pay for the roof to be done??

I'm thinking about putting small bumpers back on mine, but either resprayed and chequered or graffitied lol
