'94 Coupe Boulevard 1.0 :-D

Okay, so I'll start off with a picture of the car when I got it, on the back of the truck..

I bought the car from JoeSeeksPolo with only 54,000 miles on the clock for a bargain price of £240. I was extatic as it was only my first car and I couldn't wait to set about it and get my hands dirty!

Now on with the boring stuff, the exhaust was basically cut off in half and still welded on, so when we got it back i set straight on with it and off it came!

Then I removed and replaced the two front wheel bearings and fitted a lovely greasy CV boot. I really fancied glamming up the front end a bit so I bought a set of genuine hella clear indicators and side repeaters. Looks so much nicer! :lol:

Next, the paintwork was so dull as most of you will know happens VERY often with red cars if they are under the sun for too long so i gave her a well deserved wax up. The car actually came up lovely, such a good result. It wanted to be for the six hours I spent doing it!

I wanted a bit more OEM on the interior so i got some rear genesis seats, a GT steering wheel and an OEM 5 speed gear knob. All for a sub total of £10. Thanks to JordanBmx! :D

That's not it but I'm having a right kerfuffle with the site picture uploader as all of my pictures are 2.0MB+. If anybody can help me sort this give me a shout please and I'll keep the thread updated.
