Hey guys and girls, been on here a little while now and i thought its about time to post some pictures of how my car was when i bought it and how its stands today.

First proper pics of it at my mate sams house, where nearly all the metal work was done



First thing that was done was this:


Me and sam got bored and thought hmmm...cant be that hard to do and turns out it wasnt lol



The exhaust looked a bit crap but was first mock up

PikChooors :thumbs_up:








Bought a backbox from local scrappy for a fiver and sat it up where it will be fitted


First pics of the new interior

i keep debating whether to get some depos or not and the wheels are going soon as i have the new set to go on which will be polished lip with painted centre

urm no big plans just little things like retrim headlining, spray pillars, smooth off aerial and rear jet. then just tidy up the paintwork oh and smooth out the front plate recess

Few bits to update on here, Firstly the wheels are taking forever but im getting there slowly but it will be worth it

Wheels:




also fitted a new splitter not too long ago another scrapyard bargain for two quid off a seat ibiza



Only other update is that the car is now on steelies due to tyres being naff on my old alloys.

Went to wales with jodie for my birthday on monday took some pics on black rock sands beach

haha good to see that you now like it after your first thoughts lol.

Im currently running the regular rear exit exhaust as for work its not practical as i have to drive around all day doing viewing and the side exit hits every speed bump in the town lol.

But the side exit will be back on for shows etc
