Work Done:

Car when I bought it:




First minor changes were removing the stickers in the rear windows, and the stickers next to the wheel arches. Next bigger change was on 30/7/06 which was applying limo window tints to the rear windows.




There was a minor rattle on the exhaust, which was adjusted on 2/08/07.

The ashtray had lost its hinges and a new one was bought and replaced.

Smoke side repeaters replaced the clear ones.

Saturday 4/08/07 the badges on the back and the side sports badges were removed.

On the 6/08/07 the Lexus lights were changed for the original ones (red).

In the end of August the standard rear wiper was taken off, and replaced with a Fiat Weekender.

At the start of September the headlights were replaced with Black Crystal ones.

Next main changes took place during September. V6 breaks were put on the front, painting the calipers blue. Was trying to get Compomotive MOs but they proved too hard to find the right price, so I settled with Softstars, which happened to be on a “62%” sale at the time from LMF. Koni shocks were fitted on the hardest setting. The standard sports seats were taken out and leather seats were put in (front and back).This is how the car looks now:

Yep, petrol cap is cummin off when I find one, unless I try to take the silver "sticker" off but I got a feeling it will be messy behind.

Well the current bonnet has a dent in it as you probably can see, from previous owner. Someone threw something they shouldnt have :/ So yeah will replace at some point.

Cash dried up a little at the moment though!

Cheers for comments

MOT Passed, after replacing Lambda, and headlights also failed, but he didnt bother about them

So, the next week or two will bring:
- Rear drums converted to 2l disks
- New black petrol cap
