Alright everyone, just thought id throw my little baby up here and just get some feedback and tips on how to make it better. Dont get me wrong, i know its in a mess, i know it needs work. But thats what a first car is in my opinion.

Wont drive the car forever, but it will be used as a Project car once the N.C.T (M.O.T) is out. Which is January.

nice base to start on :D

Looks like a good base to be honest, same colour as my old 6n which was my first car too!

Look through the galleries for inspiration and ask anything you need to know in the technical sections :)

Try pick up a cheap 8v splitter too as i just noticed yours is missing!

All i have done on the car is really superficial, nothing done on the engine or anything mechanical. Just touched up paint, put neon lights in the footwells and center console. Sprayed the brake calipers front and rears blue. Sprayed some of trim inside. Cleaned her out, retrimed bootlid as it was rotten.

As for plans for the future, i dont really have any.

Would like to hear ideas.

Comments please :)......

Haha i had to take it off, i think the car was in a crash, the front passenger side of the car seems to be the more damaged side of the car, half of the splitter was missing and it really didnt look good.

I'm trying to get more pictures up, of the interior and the problems with the car but i cant seem to resize the pics properly haha.

The past week has been a nightmare with her. My father in law said he would save me some money and service her for me. and when trying to removed the oil filter he managed to stick a screwdriver through the alternator. but he didnt relaize until my battery died, i charged it, and it died again so i bought a new battery. when that one died too, when i was in the middle of the country. i decided to get my friend "the mechanic" to look at it, he said the alternator is fried. So had a nightmare trying to find another one. But i have so going to collect it tomorrow, and fitted tomorrow night. And this is a lesson to all like Me who are trying to save money. Dont bother, it will cost you three times more when you cut corners :(.

Black Badge :).

Got her fully serviced last week, she running like a gem now. Whoever had the car before me obviously had a crash because the driver side headlight is two inches in more then the passenger side, and the bumper is loose, i cant screw it back in cause its so slammed in. Dont know how i could get it fixed. Any Ideas?
