I bought this as an ebay item and thought i would have it to try and get it up and running as a cheap runner with the intention of converting it to a TD

As a 1.8 disesal at first glance the car looks pap..................and that it does. But there are some very good points, such as the badboy bonnet has been done well, there is a smal crack in the filler, but is fixable. The smoth door seems to have been done well, and is very level, and the boot is questionable as it has started to crack.

but the bodywork is in very good condition, better then mine is.

now i need new suspension and im going to probably grab a new exhust, bonnet, side skirts and tailgate, also probably new wheels.

oh and the interior is absolutly shody!!!! Look at those door cards!!!

anyway the seats are going aswell..............so take a look and see what you think ....................not bad for 200 notes i think.............







on the 06/12/05 this had been done

Right, little update, havent done alot in the ways of getting it on the road. Need a bit of cash, but that should be comming from my christmas job and the job thereafter.

so anyways i have removed the rear platform that is usually in a van, the seats are gone, the bonnet will be gone soon and the door cards are in shreds! I have also aquired all of the fittings and fixtures to put seats in the back

anyways, onto the update...........to get the car MOT'd i would have to have replaced the two front tyres. So i thought i would put on my 16" Rs7's that i had laying around! They will still be refurbed when i can afford it, but for now they can go on the diesel :bonkers:



How Close ooh:


yes the scratch will be sorted.......eventually, and a few bits and pieces to be done and it should be MOT'd!!

on the 8th December i got this far......... and took it outside for some pics

right put the back on.........fronts are at perfect ride height, minimal scrubbage............the rears......fook me!

way to low, took it round the block and have about 3mm out of the side wall

anyways, ill be cutting it up when i get the other suspension, and hopefully will raise the back slightly otherwise im going to have to get different springs :x

anywho, pics..........







and this is todays update, *Update*

right, been having a little touble here and there with money but ive finally got a little closer to getting it on the road.........

a couple of things updated mainly the 195/40's wrapping the Black 16" RS7's :bonkers:





ive slapped on my smooth bonnet, it is going to be repaired and sprayed up, also got an si bumper in the car to get sprayed up.................and the hole in the door will be smoothed...





ive managed to raise only the rear suspension so far, but it deffinatly makes it sit better, rest should be one on Monday fingers crossed.

Smoothness.....


and this is the interior at the minute, im converting it to a passenger carrier (i dont care if they have nothing to look out of in the rear :P) ill be using the recaros from the petrol when i get it on the road.



and this is the comparison of the springs that were on the car (bottom) and the new -60mm ones (top)


.........the springs must have been cut and lord knows how low it was but the springs were too short for the dampners

Comments as per usual please guys.............oh and i am unsure wether to smooth the lights on the new si bumper or not......just to carry on the smoothness??? ideas??

cheers
