First pictures of my phase 1.

[AlexG]

Had it exactly one month now. Ill start a project thread some time with before photos but it came with 17 ich halfords alloys in dark grey, standard height, looked rubbish.

What ive done since:

Full cambelt, Aux belt, Engine mount.
Oz F1s, refurbed them myself in Black gold.
Mirrors, side strips, engine cover, rear wiper blank in black gold.
Ph2 rear lights
New headlights as the old ones were yellow
Eibach sportlines
Loads of other little bits like clear side repeaters blah blah ...

Pictures after this mornings clean:

blacks are the worst for showing up dents and scratches.

 

[danjf]

looks nice mate

 

[DannoTheGreat]

Nice buddy, my next thing is to get an engine cover. Good work on the wheels

 

[adam172]

looks real smart mate but im not to sure about they mirrors did you spray the black bit silver + silver bit black?? should of done the all black imo looks really nice anyways

 

[saltyhair81]

looking smart

 

[Beef-Mc]

Black Oz against the silver is mint, I'm looking to do something very similar.

 

[Tunst]

you tell me where they are!!!!

 

[Aluco]

I really like it apart from the mirrors. They look odd being silver/black.

 

[AlexG]

Yep. Arch is on the to-do list with a few other bodywork parts.

 

[leeds_182]

Bump strips are too black for me but still looks like a sick ride.

 

[Greeny.]

Well spotted on the van, that is proper lol

Car looks awesome, cup spoiler would finish the outside off for me.

 

[tommy g]

very nice

 

[craig oh]

It looks really nice, makes me want one!

 

[ABOO]

What a busy month!!! Got to agree with the mirror comments, but other than that looks mint mate...

 

[alex-avfc]

That looks hard as nails, the gloss black strips look suprisingly good.

 

[AlexG]

Im still undecided on the mirrors myself. Was a spur of the moment idea as i took the mirror caps off.

 

[Sam-]

Blud those wheels look FRESH. Looks well primered.

 

[subarufreak]

looks really good

how much is that lowered?

 

[.GAZ.]

FLOL @ the van.

Car looks spot on mate. I was toying with refurbing my F1's GB but decided to go silver again!

 

[Jewson172]

Very nice ph1 just had mine for over a week!

 

[Rob]

You've done an amazing job of those wheels mate, they look bloody excellent!!!

Not a fan of the bumpstrips/mirros, think it'd look so much better just silver, and not inverted mirros.

Even with those things, great looking motor

 

[Danith]

where d'ya get the rear wiper blanks from?

 

[AlexG]

Cheers everyone.

It's lowered on eibach sportlines. Just bought a used pair off here to make it look respectable. Coilovers when funds allow.

Wiper blank I made myself. Sanded it flatish then stuck some wire mesh on the back and filled the hole with fibreglass. Then filler and paint.

The back parts of the mirrors will go black soon and I will get some colourcoded door handles. Then I'll see how it looks and maybe colourcode the strips.

I've got a mad urge to do the wheels red :s but it would be a waste spraying over these now. Maybe another set of wheels in the future.

 

[Jamie]

Just need some centre caps.

 

[marinemackay2003]

i so need some f1's

car looks v nice

 

[Davis]

looks good i like the mirrors but wouls look better all black insted of the silver on them! good work though

 

[Lewis_S]

like that a lot mate

 

[AlexG]

Centre caps are on now. I only got three with the wheels and one was broke so I bought a few from Renault and sprayed them up to match.

 

[.GAZ.]

Cant wait to get my Ph1 on the road!

 

[Rob]

Cant wait to get my Ph1 on the road!

Get it done, then get 1.5'ing it

 

[Tigger]
