thought id share a few pictures of my motor, since iv done a few changes to it now. the very last picture was when i first got it. it had a set of cleanest cav slabs iv ever seen, but not a fan of them so got rid. just waiting for my center caps to be painted and put on to finish them off. comments welcome
plans to do are:
re-trim roof and pillars in suade
carbon door cards
2 buckets in front
get another fanblade wheel as a spare
replace engine with another 1600 but with TB's

The car is looking lovely Paul. Glad you haven't decided to completely strip it like you mentioned before.
Dan is absolutely gutted you're not considering selling the fanblades, he really wants some white ones for his new motor.

well took my car to have door strips removed and found it had been painted before and left a hard line around door strips, so decided to re-paint rear quarter as the laquer was shocking and fading and so on. so basically painted drivers side, and painted my new badboy bonnet, once everything was painted, flattened whole car back and whole car was polished and has come up like brand new, not salmon pink not the best pics but...you get the idea

another update,
some night pics of the dials lit up.
also a pic of my new 90mm rear springs, as it sits astra sxi wheels should be here tommorow too. unsure what colour to do them, either gloss black or gloss white again, with either red badges or black or leave them silver

another big update, iv now changed my interior with full custom made leather. bought it from a lad on here, top bloke. so give it a good cleaning scrubing, leather treatment and the look really good. i also picked up a tigra scuttle panel up for £7 delivered off ebay and bought some new flat wiper blades.
and to add to my list i got some component speakers and tweeters, front and back, and a JBL 1500w sub, with a alpine v12 amp to power it. sounds realllllly good in my opinion. loud enough for me
comments welcome
