My little 1.2 8v arden blue is finally getting a project thread. Now I'm not rich enough to afford conversions, neither am I rich enough to update every weekend. Being a apprentice mechanic doesn't earn you alot, and neither does the insurance. EEEEK!
However, heres my car and i like it! Gets me from a - b with little costs, well.. Works out at £2.50 a day i think.



Things done so far:-
Front and rear gmaxx shocks, lowered 40mm front and 50-60mm back(not sure of the actually size)
Cesaros in anthracite powder-coated at a company near me, CAS-COATINGS (Bradford) really good company and quality finish! Would highly recommend for yorkshire, £1 an inch.
De-badged and debadged grill.
Boot-lock surround sprayed arden but soon to be sprayed anthracite i think
Rear lights tinted.
Laguna front splitter

And yeh, that's about all i've been able to afford hah!
Next month i'll be buying a new bonnet as mines got rust all on the front. So it'll be brand new in black primer then spraying when i can afford.
Discs and pads on the front as their low and squeeling (NOT GOOD!) haha.
Also at some point a full exhaust system as mine is knocking and making a nasty noise!
And the rear wheel bearings will be replaced too.


Any comments welcome.

I've tried removing, it's very very stiff haha. It'll be off at some point. Getting annoyed at it myself.
