burt Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Bought a faded and dented sportif for £150. Was taxed but nearly out of mot. Didn't take much to pass. That was about 18 months ago. No pics from the 1st few months Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burt Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Got bored yesterday so had a play with some chalk. Fancy something like that sprayed on the bonnet, what do you think so far? Just want some new seats and a decent steering wheel now. Found a scorpion bike exhaust too. Wonder what I could do with that? Edited May 27, 2014 by burt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

burt Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Well for anyone still looking after they seen the pics. It's was bought for £150. Had 7 months tax so I was going to cash that in and either scrap it, or break it for parts. Realised its actually a good car so lot's it and have used it as a daily driver ever since.

burt Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 (edited) Thanks. Think I still have some NATO green left over from my classic mini. Didn't realise that just having a laugh with a scrapper could cause a fuss. The starlet keeps the mileage down on my fully restored 72 mini and is something I don't mind leaving alone in a work carpark all day Edited May 27, 2014 by burt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 Since it's only a piss about car I wouldn't worry about what people say.Personally I wouldn't have done the lights as they are pretty dull without adding extra tint but the chalkboards great. Can have a different design every week lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chops Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I cried laughing at some of the responses on here, harsh bastards lol. personally I'd loose the sunstrip n hold off the chalk unless your going to japfest or something the next day, but its a matter of preference so there is no right or wrong to messing with cars. Get yourself a set of cheap lowering springs, and enjoy it bud! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
