New Silver 1.0 B
Posted: Sat Jan 31, 2015 3:41 pm
Some of you might remember my old 1.0 Atlantis Blue B from early last year, which I got rid of and replaced with my 1.6 Citroen C2 and then my 1.4 Polo 6n2.
I sold both of them for different reasons and then decided I wanted another car after new year when I got back to uni. So last week I got my family back at home to put a deposit down on a silver B, because I missed my old one so much, and i didn't even see it before I went to pick it up later in the week. Here she is;
Cost me £650 and runs amazingly, just as well as my old one. There's a few bits I need to sort here and there like little bits of rust but I'll get that all sorted in time for show season i'm sure. First thing I did was debadge the boot, which ended horrible considering i've done it several times before. Picked up the microfibre on the floor to finish the last bit and didn't realise it had a massive stone inside it
which resulted in this (awful photo I know);
Not my proudest moment. Anyway, next thing was bass;
Not the best sub in the world but it does the job, probably gonna sell it and get a smaller one. Yesterday I went and bought some sticky stuff remover from Halfrauds and started to take the bumpstrips off. I've never had to do it before, but jesus I didn't think it'd be so hard. I gave up eventually because it was so cold and I wasn't getting anywhere, so it's been left like this at the minute;
Didn't think it'd be so difficult, any tips would be greatly appreciated because i'm struggling haha.
That's it for now. Could do with a clean but it's so cold atm and i'm doing a 160 mile round trip too and from university every weekend so there's not much point atm. Got loads of plans for it atm, just hope I can get it all done in time for summer.
Thanks for looking, any comments welcome
