F3rAL Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Hello everybody So I got my self starlet sportif 96I have a long story how I decided to get this one, so I will startI have a Ford Focus edge 1.6 for 2 years and March this year I woke up to see this It was broken into, sub and amp stolen, bet the left Sony HU £150 worth They took the wheels(factory 16 inch ones, nothing fancy) of, kicked it all around and the dragged it on its bottom for around 5 meters.It has been written of, I got some money back, but I just renewed my insurance a week before this, so I could not cancel to get my money back, because this was classed as my fault, my claim, there was noone else to blame.After this I decided not to get any car as my insurance shoot up poopie high.But last month I thought if I have insurance, why not to get a car for the duration of this insurance I paid for already and just throw the car away when I'm done with it, so I got this.The paintwork was all dull and pinky matt colour, all the dirt and bugs inside and outside the car, I was not pleased with it at all, but I paid £250 it had Full service done just before it was parked new MOT and nice mp3 alpine HU So you can say I did not pay anything for a car 72k on the clock.I washed it 2 times in asda car wash, and 2 times by hand to take all that stuff of, but paint was still dull and ugly.so I got myself some t-cut and in two days it looked like thisthen I got some wax and did 2 layers than bumped that damage from inside so it looks a bit better, but still needs proper filler and paint joband this is how it looks at the moment, still a lot to do Thank you for looking Any tips what to do ? Cheap cheap, because I have no moneys No alloys as you can see what happened to my focus.P.S. If anyone has corrola mani I would take that maybe next month Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TrisK Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 paintwork has come up really wellprojet super cheap then.did you have locking nuts on your focus? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F3rAL Posted July 13, 2011 Author Share Posted July 13, 2011 paintwork has come up really wellprojet super cheap then.did you have locking nuts on your focus?Yes I did, but as police man explained to me how the do it, they undo 3 bolts and then just drag the car so last one just breaks of, but none of them were broken, so maybe they fund locking thingy in my boot, but why would you take the wheels of and drag it if you had the wheels of, just go :/ this is what I don't understand... Even recovery guy that does his job for over 25 years has never seen anything like this.Yes little starlet little cheap project, I love projects, and I love this little car, it scares some big cars, and I need corolla manifold and ecu for it and it would be enough for me Sports air filter sounds nice, but, I need cold air feed, so I will have to get enclosed induction kit, all this needs money, so everything is on hold Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F3rAL Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 Ok as promised some pics of my lighting in the car They are a lot brighter than they appear on these pics but I was in the rush When all the lights on it's like living room lighting Did not take a picture of the boot, but you get the idea, I had a full lengh smd light strip in the boot and it was a bad idea because anyone could see from far far away what I had in there So I cut it in half.Please tell me what you thinkwith the top light onrear light (needs glueing )glove box with it's own switch (don't look what I have in there )heater controls speedo needs doing properly, but I think it looks interesting (no rev counter )If anyone needs any info what was used and how please ask.P.S. Can someone tell me how to make this thread my build thread ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
