first car 1.5td project

[CorsaTD]

when i got the car it looked like this.... it had no rear chasis as it had rusted away completely.... but during the summer my dad made a new one for it and it handles 100 times better. but now i need the bumper welded as it is also quite rusty but thats a job for the summer weater...




then i put an exhaust tip on it ...lol

then i painted the engine and cleaned it

then i put an induction kit on it and painted it again ( the blue bit thats sloppy under the induction kit is now black and not sloppy)

then i put in a sub woofer which i got off ebay for 20 quid and its powered by a 300watt sub zero amp and 6" fusion 180 watt component speakers in the front and kenwood 140 watt 13cm speakers in the back.

but i have 4 subs goin in the car 10" mutant 800 watt subs which will be powere by a 1000 watt toxic amp



next i started to colour code the car =]





this is the car after the first day of colour coding



the bonnet was damaged in a crash so i need to get a new one haha
(there isnt alot of space in my garage so i couldnt get alot in the pictures)
next was to do the back bumpers and arches the boot handle and the door handles
first i masked off the bumpers then sprayed them with the plastic primer and left it for about 30 mins






thats the back bumper and arches painted


door handle masked up before and after




that night

next the mirrors





this is the clolur coding finised what do you think?
i also purchased a boost gauge

the turbo on the car works at 10 psi instad of 7 but i dont know why but its all good im broke atm and have nothing to do haha
next i need to paint the interior white and also get window tint but before that i need to make a new parcle shelf to take the other 2 subs for my car.
my dad wont let me put alloys on coz it affects the insurance but next year im getting them coz ill get money from uni but next month the subs are going in so ill keep you updated.

Should insure it with Quinn Direct mate, Only performance mods increase your premium with them, Whats the plans in the future? If i was you before you spend ages puttin your system in, ir alot of its on show for example the subs, get some tints mine got broke into about 2 weeks after building my install

[CorsaTD]

unlucky mate... i was thinking about making a secon parcle shelf under the original so the original is covering the subs and then just screw the parcle shelf down till i can afford tints. might be doing an engine rebuild for a 1.5td engine with my dad if i can find 1 cheap enough coz my dad an expert when it comes to making engines. but id like to mibby put a bigger turbo on it.

You will need to box in the subs for the best sound unless they are designed for the magnets out? My mate put 1 on his parcel shelf and it sounded poo if when you wire it up try it out a box then put it in and you will see what i mean the base is alot deeper in the box, Sounds good tho mate i want to drop a C20XE in mine but its just findin the money to do it and get another car while mines off the road :/

[CorsaTD]
