Door cards look great, exactly what you need to get a good sound.

I'd def keep an eye for a good VR donor, can't wait to get mine in.

i really like this!

it is so clean!

Lovely motor mate ive only just got the chance to read all the threds.

Got to say top job

I still havent had any luck tracking down those numberplate surrounds or clips but i will pm ya if i stumble across any.

cheers for all the positive comments people, really nice to read them all.

@jay, is yours not done yet!? lol wouldnt mind finding a rear ended carrado lol but i think im dreaming there! quite please with the cards, just need to fit my tweaters now, however im already missing my focal front speakers these rainbow things ive been sold are no where near as good shame i cooked the tweaters on my focals

@mexican, cheers mate hope you liked it in the flesh at ed38, im sure everyone thought i was crazy at how much i was cleaning the stupid thing lol just imagine thats all the cleaning i do and it aint that clean imagine how much cleaning the people on the concourse to :S ps loved your wheels

@dirtydubber cheers again bit of a mamouth read i know lol will get lots of pics up when i eventually get it lowered. the number plate surrounds are an arse, im hoping to just happen across one at the scrap yard or something


shoudlnt be long now untill i can loose my high tect boot opening strig woo! lol i just hope the solonoid never breaks or the boot will be closed forever lol. just wish i had more time to do more stuff, still got a set of 280mm breaks to fit that ive had for years...

here are some pics i took today with the xenons fitted

UPDATE?

bought this last weekend...









not sure if im going to finish the engine first of use the money to get suspension

Looks shiny

Suspension is a must though, are you proposing some premium stuff - bilstein/eibach etc?

no ill be going for something more comfortable ive done the hard coilovers things, however after that it will be anti roll bars and then it will handle!

the head is ported and polished to fit my 2.0li block should be pushing from 160 - 180 bhp if dont right woo! lol

Stick a set of Koni TA's on, there's plenty about second hand.

Keep an eye out for a KStar aswell, it'll do wonders for the top end.

well im sure everyone will be very pleased to hear i have bankruppted myself by bying a set of brand new Koni Coilovers £777 :s i really have no money now!!!! lol

still im sure it will look sweet as feck now!

ive still got a few jobs i need to do including a really really really big clean which im not looking forward too, just repolishing the wheels is going to take me hours! but it will be nice having the car for the summer thats for sure! and having the height right.

just read through the thread again, im so glad i dont have to do all that agian im tired after just reading it lol. just need the weather to warm up a tad now so i can get cracking on the suspension. also have to fit the strighter bumper bar, and the number plate tub. also need to swap the dash surround and fit the new water proof hid box's i have. once thats all done we are at show stand stage then.

woo! roll on ultimate dubs would really like to be on the stand if they will have me

oops forgot to add some reacent pictures nothing special except you can see how dirty it is. damn winter lol.

these turned up today!





cant wait to fit them!!

put your coat on, get your tools and a big bright light, then go out outside and fit them NOW steve. !!!!!

I love your car Steve.

Quality items are worth it and your motor just keeps getting better and better
