Poor Orange Si is hurt. Started first time after sitting for 3 weeks and with virtually no petrol in it

looks good if i liked the colour lol

that intake isnt doing you any favors though, it aint even sealed at the pipe - rubber pipe area

the plans sound good and a tasteful way forward

i really like this car
good thing you changed the pipe over as the intake has a hole init

oh the intake was the first thing to change

Colour is nicer in the flesh. I got the "why an orange car?" a lot, then people saw it and its won them over

Love it at least there is an orange car I can peek at now, you going to lower it at all? Will look a little better but I Remember you don't like the ride to much.
Black roof?

_________________

it appears to be lower already the arches sit much closer to my alloys then the other car but I'm not sure how much lower it actually is.

hmmm black roof. I wonder how that would look

nice looking car m8

_________________

Not sure how much it's been lowered black roof could look good but would you go matte black or shiney black

most likely shiny as saw it on a white clio and it did look nice but it wouldn't happen till much later on

Anyway some quick pics from today as I tried to sort the seats but they are really in there so going to leave it till the weekend and get my dad onto it as he has a lot more strength to put into it.

Forgive the filthiness of the alloys, they are silver under the dirt somewhere

Onto the only bits of rust that I can find



and a tiny bit on the nearside strut in the boot that can be sanded off easily

Also was having a problem shutting the drivers door properly. Turns out the metal on the latch had stripped off. Sorted now and it has a nice tight seal on it

Thought you were refurbing the alloys?
What with the bonnet scoop

_________________

yeah they were then I curbed 2 of them when I crashed in the snow. I'll wait till I get them done again
When they are clean they look good. Just dont look at the ones I damaged

Bonnet scoop came with the car but its only on it till I sort out my RST bonnet for the car.
