Right i'm a bit of a noob when it comes to fords as I've had 2 mk3 astras and a mk3 golf but this being my 4th car i thought id go for something different, and quicker, it's a 1.6 si with only cosmetic rust spots (seals already been done) and 2000 on the clock ,As im only 18 the insurance is a bit of a p1ss take at 150 a month but considering my 60bhp astra was 180 a month im not too bothered.

These are the sellers pics off egay as i go to work in the dark and come home in the dark I haven't had the chance to take some of my own.





All I've done so far is replace the side lights with blue ones and fit my sound system which is 2x 1200W 12" vibe slicks and a 1300 vibe slick amp, a set of Kenwoods in the front doors and matching 6x9s which I don't want to butcher the parcel shelf for, so their not in yet.

opinions welcome but as it's a pretty standard s.i atm so you know...

looks quite nice from those pics

bodywork looks quite tidy too

looks pretty good, good base to start with

yeah it's a clean car for 500 quid, a bit of rust on the boot which is nothing, and a bit around the sunroof that I might have to sort out before next winter, other then that im well happy with it.

any more pics mate?

no more pics yet i have a couple of really bad mobile pics of my subs and the blue sides which ill prob upload in a bit.

tomorows a day off though so ill be taking a couple more decent pics.

here's a bad pic of the car yesterday before i washed it, my camera doesn't really pick up the sidelights as it was still light(ish) out,



and a pic of my subs but both these pics are off my phone hence the sh1t quality.

looks nice mate. personally not feeling the lights and subs but everyones different.

silly becks!

nice mate, like that a lot. any plans?

i must of moved the post while becks was replying hence the reference to the member gallery

forver causing problems

nice car though mate, looks clean

I have a few plans, but ill probably stick to the original si bumpers, tints allround rs bonnet and im deciding weather to change the skirts for xr/rs skirts as i think they suit the lines of the car better then the ones on atm and maybe a change of wheels.

I don't have the time or money to do anything too mad whilst this is my daily car but im saving now ready for the engine to p1ss me about then in goes a 2L lump and once i have a second car sorted this will hopfully end up being on the track.
