Default Project estate!!

Well, so far, not a lot to tell here, still waiting on funds for most of what i want to do, but i have made a wee start.

Unfortunately, no 'before' pics for comparasin, but the treatment she's received so far:

- smoked rear lights
- clear side repeaters
- debadged grille
- a good wash!!!

In the pipeline:

- Debadged rear
- fix scratches/rust spots etc.
- repair/replace wheels
- tart up calipers etc.
- Tinted rear windows
- lowering springs
- exhaust/back-box
- bodykit
- tart-up interior
- new stereo and speakers
- induction kit

Would like a new interior too, but cant justify spending silly money on that when the kids will more than likely just trash it!!

Nothing new to show yet, but hopefully, now that the weathers getting better, and i've finally got some work, things might start happening!!

Watch this space......

Not had time to get much done on the veccy for a bit now, so with a Sunday off and the wife to watch the kids today was the day to get going...

So i was gonna make a start trying to refurbish the wheels but the weather and the wife didnt permit! so i had to make do with a few simple mods:-

New windscreen washers


Shiney new gear knob!


and thouroughly cleaned the wheels in prep for my diy refurb!!


This last picture also shows just how desperately this car needs dropped! Once i've got the wheels sorted, thats definately my next big spend - a set of springs for now, til I can save up for some coilovers!!

Still on the lookout for a rear valance - hard to come-by for the estate if anybody see's anything......

Looking good mate.

Don't forget to keep a look out for coloured door handles too, to complete your transformation.

It doesnt look low, but then it doesn't look too high either.

You'd be better off just replacing them with already colour coded items. I doubt they'd look right sprayed anyway, as the colour coded ones have a slightly different design.
