JUNE 21st 2007
anyway i brought this shitter last year as a project car when i had the zaffy, originally it was going to be pink anyways plans have changed abit...
this is her as i brought her with steelies on and it looked like this...
so after a new set of wheels, decided on astra sxi ones, and they were diamond cut, polished faces with anthracite inserts (courtesy of lepsons, free plug!),then a wheel bearing shattering last month and my wheel falling off(hence no centre cap on one wheel, its shattered when the wheel bearing blew) and then one shattering again last week, i decided to spend four hours of my time polishing it with some paint restorer and some super-dooper polish, not to mention a damn good hoover out and realised there was actually carpet under there!
anyway, here she is now...
have been informed that i need shocks for it to pass the MOT, so next on the list is a body kit and lowering springs and shocks!
27th June 2007
ok so the next mod arrived this morning, was like a kid with a new toy, just had to go fit them!
so before...
and after....
ok so not a drastic difference, just a small task out of the way, and i done it all by myself
so colour codes handles will be done later this week, and me and AndyB are going to pick my kit up saturday!
watch this space!
Wednesday 18th July
Ok so the modding continues....
I am now in possesion of one reiger kit (big thanks andy for driving down there to pick it up with me and i managed to get an offer of a date from the lad i brought it off! )
thought i had it all sorted til i managed to get my hands on a gsi kit (with a unknown gm front bumper) for an absolute bargain price, so have decided that gsi kit wins hands down and that means i can lower it 60 mil instead of 40!
so road trip sunday morning to go pick it up!
am currently trying to decide on shocks and springs atm so once thats sorted, the kit will be fitted!
anyway meanwhile i have been buying her a couple of treats that i think would set her off nicely when the kit is fitted.....
smoked headlights..
colour coded handles...
rear smoked lights...
not to mention the rear smoked lights and new number plates

decided tonight to give her a last wash and polish before she goes away to be kitted and lowered and have the rest of her bits and bobs fitted....
so a wash and a t-cut later and she looks red again lol!
then it got a bit dark...but you get the idea...
cant wait to get rid of the black plastic and get it lowered!
some back to black tomorrow is deffo needed!

Looks promising 
Did you get the handles off ebay and did you spray them yourself?

Right, tonight my mate decided to fit my rear lights and front lights for me on the spur of the moment, he is not techincally minded and i sat biting my nails......
after knocking on all the neighbours doors to find a 8 mil spanner(the guy is a spanner himself) he sets off...
hmm sorted.....i hope *waits for them to fall out*
then he starts the fronts...
dont think its meant to sit like this...
at least one is done right i suppose...

it was smacked before i got it. The kit going on is a GM kit, has GSi rear and side skirts, colour coded arches and a unknown GM front bumper that i'm sure you will all be able to tell me what it is when i get the car back!
anyway some people have expressed their opinions of the wheels, so i thought i'd get some close up for you....
Note some corrosion which is expected with polished faces due to stone chips, hence them being redone later this year.
