project grim reaper

[brendy]

yer i spose, i think im gonna grab some bargains from ebay then try to get to scrappy to get some more stuff, i aint allowed to put ma wheels on now though:/ dad says not to until i get more experience, coz he think getting stuff is waste of money. i dont think it is lol

what a lucky bastard, they like 300 quid arnt they?? lol

[themrtim]

wil the grim reaper come off? cause that looks awsome.

[rems]

yea ebay and the srappy is the way forward

wont let you put your wheels on? incase you curb them?

yea there £300 a pair

themrtim what grim reaper? on the engine cover?

[brendy]

no he just dont want me to put them on coz he says listen to what mechanic says, they know best, but i really want them on lol

lucky boy lol

[rems]

ah ok well i got a nice set of 15's for sale but think they might be a bit out of your price range lol porsche rims £400 absolutely mint condition but need tyres and you will have to get adapters

[brendy]

haha, just a bit out of my price range lol, i think ill try looking for wheels when i get more money and when maybe i can find some decent ones with tyres how u manage to get them neway??

[rems]

thats a good idea, just ad a lick of paint to the steelies and they will look good

bought them ages ago on ebay for another project of mine which i wont have finished until like 2 years so need the money

[brendy]

well i have alloys in atm, apparently they the gsi 3 spokes with the 3 holes in each spoke?? im thinking of painting them black with white lip :/

oh right, was that another corsa??

[rems]

hmmm cant say that i know those wheel, i know that corsa's did have 3 spoke alloys but not sure bout the three holes

na not another corsa something completely different and a mad project which will be an ultimate street sleeper

[brendy]

well they ave the centre caps that say vauxhall in red on them, they quite hard to explain unless i get a picture lol

oh right haha, id love to properly do up a car etc. would be proper good to do but monies is the problem lol, haha, have you started yet??

[rems]

oh ok

yea it is good just hard work lol

yea i have started it just a slow project really not rushing it as im basically builing a car from scratch

have you got a thread up about your car yet?

[brendy]

haha. i can imagine lol, but i spose its okay if your a mechanic coz ull know what you gotta do and easy to know what do do and where they go best etc :/

oh right hahaha

umm no i hant, i thought the amount im doing to it, no point in wasting space on the forum as im probably not gonna get that far with it as itll probs brekadown soon and be un runnable lol but i might put one up just to show peoples what its like etc :/

[rems]

yea i am a mechanic so it does help but tbh its all like general knowledge and learning by doing

ah ok well its good to take pics as you go to see the progress that your making and for others to see and get their views as it always helps if you get stuck on what to do

i have been thinking about selling my corsa lately as i have another car i want lol

[brendy]

yer i suppose that is they way it goes. i would like to have a car to do just to get my own experience on working on it as i wanna be a mechanic, wat im looking to do when i leave 6th form. i spose its like trial and error.

im just working on my first post atm, just gathering some pics together, describe it etc. should be up in a cpl of days

really?? what car you looking at? how much you looking to sell corsa for??

[rems]

if you get hands on with your car mate it will help you big time and if you do lil jobs like brakes, oil change ect for people make a bit of money on the side would help you aswell and build you confidence aswell

i look forward to seeing it mate and help you out with ideas

yea im in 2 minds atm as there are a couple things i want to do to it before and the car i want is a convertable bmw e30 318is so not really ideal for this weather but if i was so sell it soon would want about £1k ono
