LukeSR Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 Hi guys, thought i would start a thread so i can update my progress.I paid £900, the owner was looking for around a 1000 but we knocked them down. I'm not doing any major mods to it yet as i haven't even passed my test yet (im not even 17 yet haha!)When i first brought her she wasn't very clean and never had a wax or polish in her life !Here she is after a nice clean and wax -Today i have took the back stickers off (the ones on the boot) as they were all green around the edges and i think it looks better with them And i also took the one of the bonnet. Haven't got any pictures yet as it is quite dirty and needs a clean again. Just ordered some clear side repeaters and im looking for some clear indicators now Its due for a MOT very soon (i think its due for one now) so it should pass with flying colours Its just sitting on my drive and every time i look at it i just wanna get it in ! So thats my first car and my first ever project Cheers for reading guys and gals ! Quote
Sparky Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 You done a very good job cleaning that!!Looks MINT mate really nice love white SR's always wanted one for my first car but ended up with a Caribbean Blue one which was a good choice I wouldnt do too much to that in all honesty I love the look of SR's, looks to be lowered a nice amount aswell just spray the speedlines white and strip it and buckets Quote
Galliano Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 £900? Thats a steal!Congratulations on the buy, it seems to be a right minter. Keep the side graphics though buddy, they set it apart from the rest! Its an SR, its OEM Look forward to seeing what you do. Quote

Sparky Posted July 13, 2009 Posted July 13, 2009 Loooking well mate I had them mats in my first n/a Also had blue footwell neons ;)I know shocking but this was 5 years ago nearly and it was the in thing at the time and looked quite cool reflecting off the mats so GT seats and rails will fit, just the one bolt hole needs modifying slightly on either the driver or passenger seat cant remember which one, thinking about putting my seats in the n/a Quote
