Had a very quick clean of the engine bay:

Before:


After:


Had a little clean of the exhaust:

Before:


After:


Went out and took a few pics....

Note the bonnet rust... need a new bonnet.


Got my splitter sorted:

Before:


After:


Going to have a bit of a problem with the driveway though...





Depo's




I need to do quite a lot to the car to get it tidy to be honest, but it's only small things...











For now the plans are to tidy it up... Theres rust in the spare wheel well, and at the bottom front of the car, need to sort both of those out. Also rust coming through the bootlid. Will sort that myself though, as it's only a bubble.
The bonnet is very bad for rust, not even going to bother repairing it, just going to get a new one.

Apart from tidying, i'm going to get...

Some post 97 bumpers, spray them carabic blue, and have the tops of bumpers and arches done in gunmetal grey.
Going to buy either some astra cdx or cav turbo alloys(with hubs)
Need to get a spark plug cover
Need to sort my horn, as it doesn't have one.
Get 1.2 16v badges.
Sort scratch out on drivers door, and small rust patch on drivers arch.
Dolly the dent out on the passenger's door.
Some colour coded mirrors.

Then i'm either going to sell, or start playing with the engine.

I would have slapped you if I'd known you were going to completely defeat the purpose of the car though

Good photoshop, but i still want to keep it looking standard, ronals look ok on it though

Wasn't going to get a spoiler... but i'm tempted now.
