Ste j Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 (edited) Thought I would start a thread on my sr as I have done some work on it since I bought it last week. Sold my fabia vrs se and my mk2 escort estate to free up some cash for house move so bought this as I have always liked the look of them. So what I have done so far:Oil&filterFuel filterAir filter Plugs2x tyresFull buff and polishRefurbed all alloysNew wheel nuts and lockersNew speedline centre cap badgesFully undersealedPainted brakesTiming belt kit(not fit yet)New number plates My son is reproducing the decals so should brighten it up as the old ones have faded on the rear quarters and boot and bonnet ones are missing. Drives like a dream but wouldn't pull the skin off a rice pudding! Here's some pics: Edited September 2, 2012 by Ste j Quote

Wheels came up a treat!Ye they needed minimal work, 4 coats of silver and 4 coats of lacquer look right enough for a DIY job, car is very clean and straight just needs bumpers painting scuffed here and there.

Ste j Posted September 8, 2012 Author Posted September 8, 2012 Done a few bits, fit some spotlights, made a splitter from a mk5 polo bumper trim and fit some new rear speakers. Quote
Ste j Posted September 9, 2012 Author Posted September 9, 2012 Just added an induction filter, incorporated the air temp sensor into the filter using the gromit from the standard air box, and made a cold air feed. Quote
