Iv got a rough idea anyway. I'm thinking the rs electric white or I might do it a dark candy purple yet don't know.
White leathers or black with white piping, probably keep same wheels. Original front bumper with mcr splitter probably take spots out. Smoothed boot. Dehandle it and locks. And 2.1zvh. Plus loads of other stuff. That's where I want it so I can take it back to standard easy wen I wish to.

just quick update. started to strip of all the pipes today, for got how many their where
was.
im in two minds what to do tho as im thinking to carry on the rs theme and do them green with the stripes, or black for when i turn it back to standard. dont suppose it matters really as ill get more pipes cheap enough as me mates making them up for me.
will put pics up when the arrive.

Not really been up to much since last update.

Have been spending quite a few days on the car trying to get it started as it turned out my immobilizer had given up n BB switch died to so had them rewired and now all working fine.

Did couple finishing bits on rear quarter and n/s wing and boot just need to finish it off so only couple pics for now.

Image

Image
Put one up off the boot later

Yeah it feels good now wen I go their and work on it now all the welding is out the way I feel it's more of a car not a bucket haha

Yeah an axe!! The marks are where they tried to pop the window with screw driver twice but were obviously to weak. So they put an axe through the window. Wen I ran out with couple of feet of scaffold bar they were jumping in a crap Astra and drove off. Wen I looked at my car their was a perfect shap of an axe with handle and the head through my tinted window haha
Wot they wer doing with it in first place I don't know.
