Well Graeme's not long since returned from a 'lovely' trip 2 Glasgow to pick up my new ride and our new project car!!! With a lot of pointing stuff out by me and a lot of doing by him!! haha!!

Mostly visual mods, as i'm a girl and insurance will be a killer!!

Here's a couple of 'before' pics from when he got her back up the road tonight:-








It's not in the best condition, but for less than 200 squids wot do u expect?! and it appears to be a sound runner - came up the road wi no bother at all!

Needs a new handbrake and a couple o ther wee bits to get it thru an MOT but apart from that jus the usual stuff to be done -

-tidy up bodywork
-new lights front and rear
-new exhaust
-decent wheels!!
-bodykit and spoiler
-detailed interior clean and tart up
-seats/carpet etc.
-minor ICE install

and probably sum wee suprises along the way....

For the price you cannot complain !

Shame it's been robbed to death before you got it, if it's an SXI it should have an facelift airbag steering wheel ... ?

well, it's manaul operated windows - looks like they lost the blank and jus stuck the buttons in, or they were half way through makin them electric and gave up!
dunno wot the crack is wi the steering wheel!
and the guy that sold it to me robbed the spoiler 2 sell separatly!!

it's currently being dechavved; looks a wee bit better already, a good clean and polish and it'll look a lot less painful - i hope!!!!

**Progress Update**

Well, work has been unusually busy this week, so i've not got as much as done as i was hoping! but phase one of the project (operation de-chav) is ticking along!!

Goodies have been arriving slowly but surely and i've been spending FAR too much time on eBay so more to come!!

Also went to hellfrauds and spent some pocket money on some of their finest!!!

Here's some pics of our weeks work so far:-

A good clean and got of as much crud from inside as possible!! Also got the door pockets back on



New pink! cd player temp fitted



Debadged, de-glued and de-wipered rear



bump strips off, but glue is being stubborn!! a few more hours patience required!! the hideous fuel cap sticker thing is off now as well, literally held on with SUPER glue



goodies!!




shocking blue side repeaters swapped for some rather nice smokie ones (these are def goin on the vectra as well!!!)




So thats the story so far!

More for Operation De-chav coming soon:-

-Remove remaing, stubborn, glue
-Remove stickers
-New Gear Knob
-New gaitors
-New pedals

Then onto the next phases!

-Sort rusty bits and denty bits!
-new speakers
-new parcel shelf
-possibly a wee sub-box in the boot!!
-fit new steering wheel
-some temp alloys
-floor mats and temp seat covers
-definately change the lights! :roll:

thats it for the near future!

we will keep you updated with our progress!

all comments always welcome!

Can see his point of removing aftermarket parts and replacing them with standard etc but why the fuk would you remove a factory fitted spoiler.

Still though,if you agree'd to buy it the way you seen it,then surely you should be entitled to the parts that have been robbed off it.

Surprised he's left the filter on.

I would be making sure it has 16 wheel nuts and not just 8.
