- Mon Feb 22, 2010 8:57 pm #177039 hi ive just joined the forum and have had a browse around this section and thoght i'd post mine up it's currently being sprayed red, so i have no final pics of it, but i have before pics and pics of it in the garage. I have big plans for it and hopefully this site will help me sorry if the pics come out wrong, i have read through the newbie section...

right, here she is when i first picked her up (£200) (pics are a bit naff, took them from my fone)



a bit of rust here but it's all gone now



the car looks clean here but the bonnet was pretty much wrecked, had "zoe 4 lyf" engraved on the bonnet and there was a few dent which could not be fixed ( none can be seen in this pic though )



the engine...



now for some reason after i bought the car i bought some lexus rear lights, but to be honest i hate them now, and i'm going to sell them and either go back to stock or those ones that look stock but without the orange



i also sprayed the bonnet matt black myself but ive had a new bonnet and is being sprayed glossy black while the rest of the car is being sprayed red



i then decided to buy some new headlights, i think they are the black housing style or whatever but without the amber corners (you guys may not like them but i think they're quite nice )



i also bought a new direct fit exhaust back box (4.5" - i like them big ) off ebay just to replace the pea shooter stock one



and a Jamex 40mm lowering spring kit



stripped ready for primer coat



new panels welded on after cutting out the rust...



and here she is now, sorry for no primer pics etc, they never told me when they were going to primer even though i told them to ring me as i wanted pics , ahhh well here she is red







She'll soon be put back together in the next week or so and buffed (they're apparently busy) so i'll update the thread with the final pics again sorry for bad quality pics

Future plans:
B16 conversion
JDM alloys or just maybe black alloys by another make,
Mugen lip
New shocks
New brakes etc
+ Other extras

hope i havent wasted your time, cheers

I think everybody here will tell you to get OEM lights instead of the altezzas though

What wheels do you plan to buy?

Do Not PM me your technical questions. Post them in the forum!

BUILT NOT BOUGHT!!

- Mon Feb 22, 2010 9:47 pm #177058 thanks haha i may change my mind just like i did with the lexus lights ermm ive seen these on ebay, they look pretty decent but can't afford them yet - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... K:MEWAX:IT or maybe some black team dynamics pro race 1.2 16", not sure if you have them in the states though?

cheers stubrun ahah nah i dont like rice lol ... nope its not milano, i was gonna go with milano but i found it was a bit dark for my liking, so ive gone with the Ford red, not sure what its called though, but it looks really nice, the audi red (misano) was the other choice but that looked a bit pincish, anyway thanks again, more pics sooon
