looks nice mate, i'm in the middle furbing up my 6n2's alloys atm, roughly to the colour of your car lol!

Get some polish on that engine cover of yours and it'll look sweet as imo, and maybe a cold air pipe onto the exhaust manifold heat shield

Looking forward to seeing this develop!

sprayed the smooth grill and surround black as it was bugging me having it silver :angry: . still looking for a grey surround though

also wired the side lights into front indy and a few bits and pieces but will get pics once the wheels are on

finaly got my tyres taken of today and have been workin hard to get these wheels done. still need spraying but am happy with how they are looking atm with all the effort I've put into them (which is alot !!) only bad thing is that the lips have big chunks outa them !! did want to tig them but no way off really getting them to college :(. so I've jus filed them down and had to make do which i hate !!

heres a lil crappy phone pic

comments please :-)

Take em in your car to college bud! It's big enough lol!as for grill surround could look cool in black! But look on eBay ATM for storm grey lk7y and there's rattle cans shouldn't need much for that front piece! Put some grey primer over it the storm grey and then get a tin of clear laquer from halfords! Jobs a good un!

yeah i know lol its jus the fact of carrying them around and stuff. and my target is to have them sorted for spring fest so i dont reckon ill have time. might leave the lips till next yr as I'm itching to get them on to lol. tyres should be here tomo to :-D . and I've been looking on ebay for ages and still haven't come across anything. was thinking of spraying it but would rathe buy 1 as there only £20 so would save alot of pissing about.....

lovely looking car mate :)

how much were the leathers, and was much modding needed to fit them?

cheers :)

cheers mate :D

these days you can get a decent set for £300-400.... and i got them already set up for a mk4 but think it only takes a few mins to adjust the rears to fit them in, and fronts go straight in. starting to get a bit bored of them though lol...

cheers for that dude :)

keep up the good work :thumbsup:

yep :-( i really wish it wasnt

i got cut up and spanked into a curb which has twisted the subframe

its a piss take cause i cant claim on the blokes insurance as i didnt hit his car !!

so I've stripped the car and part exchanged my leathers for some sparco buckets and a bit of money.

I'm keeping everything else for my next project (hopefully another storm grey) so this will be my last update.

oh and i finished my wheels

wheel-1.jpg
