Thought i would start a little project thread on here
At the moment i have no plans to make any 'major' changes to the car but here is a little info about her,

1.2 16v Sxi,
80k when i got it 6 months ago
FVSH & Paid £1200.


Pictures...
All in order from when i first got it:




Added a Fiat rear wiper to tidy the back end up a little




Random cat in the boot lol


Richbrook door pins in...


Then i decided to get a Sub in, bought this off a mate for £40 so carnt grumble really.





I then decided to pull my finger out in time for PVS so my first little purchase was these off Anty on here



De-badged ...




Decided to paint my rear breaks, just in hamerite black.




A few cleaned pictures






And finally today's progress

I started to prep up the Sport alloys, they are in abit of a state though and i should say that this is the first time i have refurbed any wheels lol. My mate is going to be painting them in Ford Mercury Grey




I have also taken delivery on these, 40mm Springs



Thanks for reading, and there will be more updates on Monday

Well i might do that, but does anyone have an idea as to how much that would cost?, And the sort of places that would do it?. Assuming that body shops wouldn't do that sort of thing, would they?

Todays progress, Got my springs on after a fashion to get the top nut off my struts .
I also went and got a replacement Sport alloy last night and while i was at it i got some mudflaps for £7 .

All i have to get done before PVS now is to get my alloys refurbed and on .
Thanks!.
