project frank (MK3 LX)
With a lot of help from my freinds we decided to have some fun with my daily driver.
Its unfinished, hopefully will be "tided" up tommorow.
Dont take it to seriously we didnt.
It started last week when derms decided stickers were a good idea.
Today we took it a bit further.
Started to scotch the paint and removed badges, side strips
No badges..
binned the caps
Kevo started to fit the K Boooooog Coilovers
K started to mask things up but pea was quick to start with the yellow primer paint
Derms wait so long for me to remove the side strips he grew facial hair
K started to get carried away
K tinted the real lights whilst i added the new fridge magnet badge
Kevo came up with this clever design on the petrol cap
Thats it for now. Tommorow we will tidy up the emense overspray and give the car another "lick" of paint.
I didnt have the bollox to keep the bonnet how it was left so thats been painted over again now and will be resprayed propley tommorow. The roof, front bumper and bonnet have matt black paint on whilst the rear bumper has satin black. Tommorow all the black is going satin.
Spec list..
K Booooooog "coilovers" drop unknown
Resprayed in pea pea for my bum hole primer yellow.
Derms satin black roof.
Standard steelies resprayed in satin black
A s**t load of old fastcar, max and Xquisite stickers.
Black tinted rear lights "M3 styleee"
K "sport" white performance exhaust system
Fridge magnet "Xquisite fiesta" badge
Thanks to
Xquisite automotive, Max powe,, Fast Car and Halfords
Derms
Kevo boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooogggggggg
K "i want to finger Daves s**t hole"
Pea Pea all over Nicks car

Ok thanks to Katie, K, Alikay, Pea Pea and Kevo the car was finished off yesterday.
Its had another layer of yellow House Of Plaha paint put on it and the bumpers and roof painted satin black
Its very bouncy!!
Anyone who has anything they want to donate to the project feel free )
ok, me and katie did a bit more today. Only 1 side so far
had a proper look at all the wheels today
one of the previous owners has taken a hammer to one of the wheels to destroy it so no one else would be able to have the wheels (why i dont know) hes put a small fracture in the dish.
I took the really bad wheel and one thats slightly buckled at the back to shadow wheels in reading
the good news is that the bad wheel is repairable the bad news is once its repaired he dosent think i will be able to have it diamond cut back to original.
for now the 2 wheels are just having the repairs done, hes suggested buying another wheel to replace it with but i would imagine thats not going to happen with how hard they are to find.
I might have to run the car with 3 diamond cut and one silver metalic painted wheel.
