I went out last night and took a few pics just to show everybody what it looks like now, and then will take some later to show what she looks like after ive done abit of work on her.

The dints on the drivers side are the only ones on the car, im ordering a new wing today and will get the dint on the door sorted soon.

Also its going for a respray as soon as im happy with every thing, it won't take me long to have it all mint, im looking for everyones comments on what colour i should go for and maybe post a pic and a colour code.

Last nights pics!!

Things to do today are;

Get my other front bumper ready to be put on the car, get it smoothed and make it solid so it doesn't flex to much.

i've heard a slight leak in the exhaust so thats going to be welded up also get some new exhaust rubbers so shes sat tight because i think its come off 1 or 2.

One of the previous owners has very poorly tryed to cover the door cards in velvet, there coming off and replace them with standard sti door cards.

Most of the body panels are from a different scoob and havent been bolted down the best they could be, so i will go around and make sure they fit the body and match up to the other panels perfectly.

Im sure there will be a few other little bits i need to do and will keep you all posted on my progress

cheers

Nice looking car.

I've always wonder though if would be cheaper to insure a standard turbo than a 1.6 which is highly modified?

How did you insurance company react when you told them about all the mods?

Welcome to the club!!

Can i just say that for a youngster, you have got some good ideas and what im reading shows that yorue determined to make things right rather than bodge and 'CHAV' them. WELL DONE!!

The car looks very nice, id keep the colour red, as a full respray otherwise youll have to do the whole thing, engine bay, door shuts, etc.

Also, the front bumper looks a bit iffy mate, not quite as clean as the rest by the looks of things.

Other than that, good car, glad to see you here!
