Jealous? Why!? Yours look mint!!

She's hardly had anything done to her in comparison to most of the cars on here.

Her engine was hanging out of her when we got her and the plan was to sort her out then sell her on but she kinda stole my heart!!! lol!

Things have just happened little by little as times gone on.

As for plans, I'm so excited!!

Can't wait for things to start happening!!

First thing that will probably get done is the refurb on the Borbets.

I'm waiting for these to arrive to go on them as something different.

Plans sound goooood

I can just see this minter, all red with gloss red borbets and 6n2 rears. Heheh devils child :p

BTW i am bored with mine, its too...black....I am thinking retro with a black and white theme....but just dont know :p

Gd luck with whatever you do dudette!

Thanks for the comments guys, really appreciate it.

Wheels are hopefully going to be getting started this week, new centres have arrived and i'm really pleased with them.

The countdown for UD is on!!

Well, I'm glad to finally say that the refurb on my Borbets is finally underway!! :-D

Here's a few pics of the progress so far...............

How they were to begin with.............

Bit of sanding and filling.................

All sanded and filled.......................

The first one to be primed................

Not bad for an afternoon's work (thanks to the boys whilst I was in work!!)

Just got to wait for the filler to dry then we can get the other 3 primed.

Then it's time for the big change.................!!! :-D

Well, time for the next update on the progress so far and i'm really pleased up to now!!

A big thank you to the boys for all their hard work so far!

Tomorrow is the very boring task of masking up ready for the next stage!

Well, we have a final result and, oh my god, i'm so pleased!!

Let me know what you think, good or bad............

2 down 2 to go!!!! :-D

i think there wicked!

Not too o.t.t but a bit different with the paint running down the spokes like that contrasting the white and red

Good job on masking as well obviously, i know how much of a bastard it is to try and do that and get the lines straight. Patience is a virtue! haha :)

Get em finished, get some tyres on, get em on the car and get some pics!!

Cheers!!

Gonna do the other 2 tomorrow then leave them a week or so before we put the tyres on just to make sure the paint's rock solid.

They'll be on for UD anyway!!

Well they're finally all finished.........

What do you all think????

As soon as the tyres are back on within the next week or so and they're back on the car, i'll give you all the final update!!

Finally got some tyres on the wheels and tried them on the car to see how they look.

Think it's fair to say i'm well pleased.

Got some Continental 175 55's put on so they've got a nice little stretch on them too.

She's been dropped about another 30mm on the front too and here's the final result............................................

All comments welcome, or !

Cheers! :biggrin:

The next big change should be getting started on Friday and will hopefully be finished in time for UD on Sunday

Smaller tyre would have looked better but i like the way they look dude :)

i like it, wheels look smart!

have they been powder coated they look sweet mate

have they been powder coated they look sweet mate

No, all done with rattle cans!

looks so sweet, i wish i got a 6n instead of a 6n2. So much nicer!

The next stage..........................

As some of you might've seen yesterday at UD, the finish is fairly shit due to us having problems with the primer reacting so it's gonna be getting flattened back over the weekend and then lacquered.

It'll get there in the end.

Finally got rid of those shitty plates for some brand spankers!!.......................

After a good few hours of fiddling round with wires and swapping them all round, FINALLY, my new rear lights are on.

( The robbing b@stard I bought them off on eBay failed to tell me they were for a left hand drive, not a right.)

New sill protectors are now on too.

Love the wheels and roof.

Never been a fan of the LED lights though. personal opinion though

Like it a lot!

looks good!

really dislike the lights, but the rest of the car is pure sex, only thing id change would be lowering some more

The lights look more lexus style in those pics to be honest, that was them later that day.

I'm glad to have posi and negi comments though, all of them are taken on board.

I'm finally starting to get happy with how she sits now.

She could maybe go down a little bit more but i've got to bear in mind there is no way of getting to my house without hitting speedbumps, plus she's on 15's so she looks higher than she really is.

Just to let everyone know who doesn't already, Minty's now advertised on Pistonheads. I've put the link on the 'Cars for sale' section on here under 'Testing the water'. Any interest or questions, let me know either through here or via email and i'll get back to you asap.

Cheers!

I love this car! Dont sell it :( I used to run those centrecaps btw
