Well bought this about a year & a half ago with front end damage, corner of bonnet & wing, smashed headlight & needed a new bumper. Managed to source a pair of 16v bumpers, so bought them.

I knocked the corner of the bonnet & wing out myself as it was to bad, also remover the rust spots from the doors & had to replace the tailgate as it was rotton under the glass.

I then got a stainless back box put on which plod didnt take to very well & got 3 points & a £60 fine, a few stickers added, added 6n2 rear cluster & coilovers

Also got some angel eye headlights which got removed for the standard ones & some clear indicators & debadged grille

Cheers. No there just reps as this is my runabout lol & trying not to spend over the odds on it

Fronts are 7x15 et20

Rears are 8x15 et15

Debating on what tyre width to run on the rear 185 or 165

Darren

Looks like your going in the right direction with this

I would go for 185's on the back as that's what I run on 8's, 165's have a hell lot of stretch lol

165 on 8's is abit silly, I'm running it on my 8's at the moment, waiting to get my new tires fitted.

Yeh been looking on tyrestrech but couldnt make my mind up if i liked the look of the 165's

165/50 on the front and 185/45s on the back would be fine.

They those eBay jobbie bbs reps?

Good work on the car btw. As said before 185/45 rear and 165/50 fronts with rear camber will look sick

why did you get 3 points for a backbox?

cars looking nice

What splitter have you got on in the pic of it jacked up?

I didnt get 3 points and my backbox was completly missing , just got the fine, I'm pretty sure 3 points isnt aplicable on backboxes, had a chat with the copper who pulled me over, he went through his big noobs guide to road offences book and said it was just a fine.

Sounds like you had a knobber of a copper then

Got the points because it was protruding past the bumper & a danger to pedestians

He was a bit of knob

Ah thought it was those wheels. They do look sick :)

Not much of an update but flushed the badge off the back, gave her a service & fitted a new rocker cover gasket & washed the engine bay down to get rid of all the oil that had been leeking from the gasket.

That is all for just now.
