The Pigs Revival (hopefully)


Recommended Posts

Well I've been in the background here for a couple of years or so now.


I thought it was about time i pick up my game and clean up the piece of crap I've been mean too for the last couple years.



First some back ground.


This is how my girlfriend first got it befor i had it off her in oct 2012.

So innocent so green.



First jobs were to fix the back box and the indicator stalk.


Back box was missing and the stalk was snapped and had a big bolt in its place!


Frankly though for the grand total of £325 pounds it was the bargain of the millennium



Fast forward 6 months and then we happened to fall on it with some sand paper :(

After we were done it looked more like this.

The eagle eyed will also spot the wheels and yellow tape.


I had a civic at the time and the fan blades found their home here while i had the enkeis on the civic.


Also the yellow tape was to keep the water out and obviously for health and safety to help visibility you know..



Thats how it stayed for a little while with the odd addition of a batman sticker here or there.



Once i got my hands on it though a couple more things have changed around sept 2013.


When the civic was to be sold on for the next toy i put the nice white wheels on the starlet!

I have a bit of a love hate relationship with this car.


While i love the fact that its small fun agile and not too horrifically slow the fact that every year i have to unstick the brakes and when i have people in th back shit rubs i can also get on my nerves.


That being said im determined not o say goodbye to it just yet.



You will be good again.


You will stop rubbing.


Your will stop getting you breaks seized.


You MAY become faster... or maybe atleast a bit noisier.



I had it MOTed recently with an annoying list of fails that ill post later haha

Thanks for all the love :)



The paint does feel more like sand paper in places because it was done outside haha



The current plan is:


Get MOT bits sorted!


Service


cover the other wing in old comics


cover the roof in pokemon cards





Hahaha, love it! Looks like blackboard paint. Coilies would solve your rubbing issue ;)





I do hope to get coilies in the future as i currently have lowering springs (i think)


They are shit, you dont travel over bumps in the road you hit every bump!

Haha I know that feel, my coils were sat in a garage for years before I stuck em in and now every time I hit a pebble it snaps a vertebrae.

Plans sound good! Look forward to updates!
