Yet big c, deeper dish wheels will look very smart, it's just having the cash to do it...
The engine can be a bitch at times . Im gonna have to drop engine a lil to do starter motor. its right around the exhaust rear manifold cam belt, is easer to do. can get do it in situ. sweet lil engine mount...
Other than that not too bad to work on...

And cheers nath,...got a lot of polishing to do tho..
Haven't seen a red one. Would like to see that...I have seen a vauxhall Tigra blk with red sparkle tho,
Looked quite nice..

common problem with the cracks in the pillars. i know a few people that have had them.
yeah i agree about body kit. you gotta like them to enjoy this.
looks ace! gotta get some wide wheels too. like some 9j or something so you got some real wide tyres to match the car
keep it up fella!
What do Saxos and ASBOS have in common,

Cheers mate, your right about the wheels and tyres, need some phat ones, may get some porsha cup alloys.will have to save! Lol.
Yer body kits are fun to do, but can be a pain to keep nice,with filler work you can expect cracks and chips,and if your lowered maybe a bit Moore,lol.a lot of upkeep..
Just sorting out some interia ATM, two front seats are in,and sub box carpeted.
Will try and get car looking Moore respectable for next Pvs show,who's going??
I'll get pics up soon of progress lol..
