That one all batterered! would rather save a few more weeks/months and pay for a full body repair and respray.a guy up my road reckons he will do the entire job for £1300 and if i do the sanding prep he will do it cheaper. but i think that can wait. Still got fair bit to do before that. i want paint to be the 2nd from last main thing to do. before that the interior should be sorted, then suspension and shock absorbers etc then paintwork then engine swap then things like exhaust, induction kit etc.

lol..i wasnt meanin for u to get it anyway...jus saw it was green ad thought of u and thought u cud get an idea on a colour.personally i think wen u get a respray u shud do it a nice metallic green then do the boot,roof and bonnet black.then some black wheels with matching green lip.

lol dan i saw that last nite and thought the same as you jarjar green your comes looking good mate your getting a rite mouch on with it so what you got planed next the lights and alloys? or the seats? im gonna buy one the showcages nextweek will look the nuts

i think im gonna have to buy jar_jar something green for his car at pvs lol

yeah we should all do what my mates did down at wilko's one nite an get aload of spray cans and paint his car for him green only jokin it did turnout alrite thow lol was even better that some iv seen done with da gun it was just his shed for running in an out of work in so dint matter we was just gonna scrap it

i think we should give him green go faster stripes lol

jar_jar89 will you be sellin your full leather seat set when you get buckets?

i think that would look ginda cool thow mate the std stripes down the side but do em green insted would look mint i dont think hes posting now lol cos we said we was gonna paint his car for him at pvs lol

lol..i had to go out quickly. im currently redoin a new heater control panel. it gonna look much better than the current one and will be finished in the next few days. im savin up to get new reclining green and black buckets from america which are lookin at around £280 -£300 dependin on the exchange rate; will get em in the next month or so hopefully. In the mean time i will be doin the B and C pillars and maybe puttin some tweeters builds on em. that means another 4 kenwood channel amp, power cap, distribution block, and 4 gauge live feed and potentially a new 2nd battery if i cant clean up my spare one i got already enough. Then need to fix rear bench at the same time cos the seat fold catch broken. need to do roof lining black and maybe take out the floor carpet and wash it and redye/replace it. Also have to paint door trims linings and rear passenger ashtray. The engine needs a clean and oil change and i think the hydraulic tappets have leaked and are on their way out aswell as the clutch bearings. Wanna get some momo pedals and a matt black/chrome black gaiter surround bezel and maybe new handbrake handle. Then it time to move on to the outside. already done minor bits like sanding away small bits of rust in the paintwork and using rust converter primers and vauxhall paint pens to sort out minor blemishes that are annoyin. The engine bay and under chassis need a good steam cleaning and sealant and rubber gromits etc along with the roof antena (can do when i do roof lining). Basically i just wanna get the car to good standard of interior and well being mechanically. Once this done i will start doin the stuff that kinda hits insurance badly. Like GSI bumpers and skirts, black angle eyes, lowering springs, coilovers, shock absorbers etc. bigger brakes and painted calipers and drums/shoes and custom powder coated alloys. then the dents can be removed and the car resprayed. But will get the alloysbody kit and dents/sprayin done at the same time so it doesnt look stupid being all dented and riding on mismatchin kit and phatty lookin rims lol. then it performance time.....
As for the the "full leather" interior.....u can have the front if u really want but not the rear cos will be keeping that lol. And they not leather as such. It is leather material but just seat covers; i paid £80 for the set from halfords in coventry i think. They look pretty good though and are well comfy.

essay lol

yeah! well i finished the new heater console today and it just finishin dryin to harden. I've destripped the car of rub strips today and feathered white strip away into the rest of the paintwork with dream machine bug removin helmet visor polish and it works a treat on all the car lol....just cover in foam then wipe away and it takes most the stain away with just a wipe and with bit of elbow grease it get rid of marks on paintwork like a charm. Then spray again and buff with a cotton buff pad and it gives a well nice polish shine! Dont think ill be doin much more ova the next couple weeks apart from puttin the new heater console in. Got loads of uni work and can save money for easter then splash out on gettin loads of stuff to clean the car with and finish the interior etc. Also my birthday is in April so my mum gettin me a new alarm system installed professionally for a present! I'm gonna get central lockin and electric window kit and get em installed by this guy she knows who doin the alarm aswell ova easter. It only a small island in wales she lives on, but the main guy sorts out all sorts of electrical problems refered to him by main dealerships etc so he knows his stuff, and my old dears is mates with him so he gonna sort it out pretty cheap aswell! SO gonna be all modern soon! no more window windin competitions with mates in the car park any more though

gonna be good when its all done.i would never bother with doing all that to my corsa tho lol-it can stay without electrics windows n central lockin etc.lol.

i got nitrous now tho lol...chek my project log

just cos it says nitrous dont mean it gonna make u go faster! I bet ur car will get broken into by sumone tryin to steal em

there only lighters loll...

still....u neva know.
Think im gonna have to get the bucket seats next. dunno if i will be able to get em for easter or not....but would kick ass if i can. the delivery on em will be like a week or two aswell cos they are posted via UPS ground and freight from america so i would have to buy em in the next week or two latest really. Then i'de probs be broke to get new oil filter, quality oil, cleaning stuff etc.

round this area, I can't leave ANYTHING on show. I daren't leave road maps on show or bottles of coke.

There's loads fo drug users & some right scabs round here.
