Hey,

after selling my old valver and buying a 1.6 8v i knew i needed another one, so

i bought my new valver about 2 months ago, and it was in abit of a sorry state needing an mot and some parts.

so after a MOT and some parts later it was ready.

rusty has hell but it was ok, 122k on the clock but that didnt bother me has my old one was on the same and is still going on 150k .

so id already said i was going to the show ISTS and that was on 9th-11th April. and i had 1 week off college before this.

the 1st idea was just patch it up before i went but i didnt want that i wanted something dif and not tatty.

so i got a colour in mind and set about findind paint and ideas etc but didnt want none of my friends knowing the colour has it was a suprise.

The colour i opted for Was Nevada beige. with black bits to go with my roof

So i asked my dad if we could do a full respray in 1 week, get wheels done, and smooth parts off.

he said not a F*cking chance.

But We ended up doing it in 5 days

let pics do the talking....

Car when i 1st saw it for sale

after Mot and lowered straight away with coils, and ibiza cupra seats, it sat like this until Sat 3rd April

then she went into our garage for her make over

heres most of the damage i could take pics of

we then started strip down and grinding rust off etc

After most of this was done i started all the masking off and my dad started filling and smoothing part with me helping alot of the time

play with camera

ermmm Arch roller

and wheels arrived so had to nip off to get tyres fitted

banded 14" steels to 14x8 all around with 195/45/14 falkens on.

After this i didnt get much time to Get pics of painting etc coz time was going so fast by now we was on Wednesday meaning it needed to be painted in 1 day :(

so it meant cups of teas and a pose From the A team

so by thursday night we had it primed and painted and wheels painted just needed putting back tgeva. ohhh and i also purcahsed a new openair roof that arrived Wed so had to fit that.

we was up till 2:35am thurs night/fri morning putting it back tgeva has i was meant to leave at 10am Friday morn.

woke up friday and it started up fine then it died.... Was like wtf! ended up buying a new batterey coil pack and put some fuel in her and she was fine missed the convoy down to ISTS so had to drive down later on on our own (me n Gf)

finally got to Silverstone race circuit and my mates faces was a picture has id kept the colour from them a secret for weeks

heres pics from ISTS

theres a few more on Facebook so ill get em loaded up ASAP

so i said 5 days and it was 5 days on the car. Friday the 2nd was spent clearing all the garage out And sunday i went to MFN for Vag vs JDM so didnt do fuck all to the car haha!
