The Plan!!

Well after a good brain burning thought I have decided to go for a completley whole new look!

The Whole car is going into the bodyshop for a full hit of paint and for all the body work and panels to be put on and remove all the rust that has 'just' started comign through.

He will be going a 2011 colour not spilling the beans yet as I dont want to spoil my surprise!

I have many ideas and finally found what I am going for!

I CAN'T BLOODY WAIT!

So attached is some pictures of how he looks now.....

Nice motor, plans sound great, will look good with the zetec s bumpers

Will look better whatever I do to her I reckon and the colour I HATE it!

So new colour has been chosen hopefully she goes in next week now Rodderz Si is out

sounds like a good project

I will keep you all up-to-date

Righty, I said I would keep you all up to date with whats happening

So here goes...



On Saturday bobbed up to my mates unit/bodyshop and he said if you want you can leave your car here so I can start working on it, orginally he told me to drop it off Tuesday Night this week as he had loads of jobs on! However I didnt say no!


So stayed up there whilst Rodderz was sorting his suspension out on his MK3 Si. I got slightly bored so started stripping my car! Yes, me being a girl I got my hands dirty!


Had a few tips getting the wing mirrors off but other than than they let let me loose! I got my tool box out my boot and started .... I manged it and did a mint job!



He looked like this when I arrived:













Then I started on the lights:















Grille was removed, then wing mirrors and door cards then all the rubber seals!!







































Found rusty bits after taking the rubber seals off!



























That will soon be removed and cleaned up!



Then a few pictures of two small dints!











So thats all for now, well proud of myself for doing it, tell you what its much better stripping a car than having your hair and nails done!!

So up-dates will pop up this week!!

good work there!

sweet, looking foward to seeing the next step

Well another little up-date 17th May - Arrived at the bodyshop to find this.....









So whilst Rodderz was sorting his motor out, I decided to start work on my alloys and start sanding them down, get the shit tyres of them and prepare them for paint!

Side skirts are now modified to fit
Arches have been rolled
The headlights have been de-tangoed
My Ford Alloys that were on the car I have sold
All interior have been removed and dry stored
The two small dints have been sorted

So hopefully we shall see some paint tonight!!

I Cant bloody wait!

good stuff

I cant wait to see it later! I will reveal the car next week when its all done and put back together

Man this is coming on, you dont mess about. Is it costing you alot for this? Wouldnt mind mine having a fresh lick of paint, id be happy to have it all the same colour lol.

Haha I know, I keep getting bubbles in my tummy today as get to see it all painted up after work. Its at the unit were you met my of half Rodderz, that day you came down I stripped it down

Should be done and out and about by Tuesday Next week as he aint working sat & sun

Its cost me for everything just over £1000 so not really but he owed me and Rodderz a favour for building the unit with him. If you want his contact Loumiester I can give it you, he does a proper job, and also respects modified cars alot more than other bodyshops!

I like the sound of that, £1000 is a good price. Wont be for a long time but I will be definately be interested.

Conrads car looked perfect!
Cant wait to see this.

I am heading down tonight so hopefully so will try and get some fresh pictures, the alloys need to be painted yet, got 4 fresh Toyo's last night!

Also bought some more bits and bobs so I will up-date my first post!

The colour is the 2011 Alfa Romeo Mito, its kinda purpley blue, in the sunshine is has about 4 different shades. Its hard to take a picture of it, its gorgeous and looks awesome in the flesh!
