danny1987 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 becareful cos primer is porous, so you could still end up with rust anyway. and for £150, you'd be wanting proper metal replacements really. the rest sounds good though. although not sur on the tampering with springs idea.ah karl, reminded me i need to make a trip to yours soon, forgot all about that! just buy matching springs suppose! lol got some ford ones here mate ah, ill bell you after!

MikeM Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 The interior colour works well with the colour of your car! I like it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Nick Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) Nice car mate, i really like it! Get half tints (as someone said on here) fit your skirts/spats and sort out either the evo or normal spoiler and fogged bumper! White clocks or Plasma dials would go down a treat Keep it up!! Ps. if you ever decide to get rid of the magnex back box, let me know as i'm only round the corner Edited January 17, 2010 by Mr. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rufio_gti Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 Nice effort mate. Deffo get half tints but loose the rally mud flaps they ruin it so much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevmo3691 Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 (edited) liking the car - not so much the flaps - be glaad when they are gone. i too dont like half tints, although yours are slightly too dark for my liking. love the boot install - make it yourself? i need to do something better than my current set up as to stop the enclsure moving i'm using an old scissor jack and a block of wood also think standard spoiler nice than evo one. i have one if you want it - started sanding it down to paint but just bought an mg zs one Edited January 17, 2010 by stevmo3691 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectrs2k Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 not bad but for a start your going to have a line in the paint when you remove the masking tape and paper you should have just masked the window up and blended it in to the paint by flatting it down once dry as for your handbrake been high you will ahve to pull your wheels of and have alook inside your drums check the condition of the shoes anbd adjust the adjuster in there if your 10mm adjusting nut next to the lever is adjusted to the stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
