well thought i would start with how it started life when i got it



soon after the wheels came off as they were mullered and the decals came off too after all it was only a 12v



i didnt like the wheels as much but they were round cheap and worked for a while next thing it needed was a bit of power so i decided to have a go at a redtop conversion.




didnt take too long to get that out and then it was time to get the new one in



wasnt long before it was up and running ok wish i had taken a bit more time on it and done it better but hey lesson learnt



after that next thing on my list was the kit i couldnt stand it anymore and went out side and well kind of ripped it off and after that it looked more like this with some depos and coilovers too






then after seeing how many oil leaks i really did have and snapping my first driveshaft on my birthday i thought it might take it off the road for a little while and get things more how i prefer them to be so at the minute it looks like this







you can even see some of the leaks it had on the floor there plans are some different wheels and there are some very nice 284mm brakes in me mates garage to go on and the xe will be having a full clean up leaks sorted out and maybe some toys too if the funds are there for it

i know it looks a bit of a mess but what good project doesnt

any comments welcome
