Loom is being sorted as we speak mate.
Made another quick video earlier by sticking my phone to the steering wheel with clay, lol. It was up a slight hill then round a left hander where it straightens up but its bumpy as hell....

Cheers mate! Just bought wings, bonnet and grill in the same colour and dent free so they'll tidy it up no end.
I've been offered a BTB manifold back system but I'm not 100% on it as its a 2.5" bore and some same its too big on the standard engine. Hmmmm......

I have no idea whats up with it! Steve couldnt see anything either. One of those things I guess *shrugs*.
Itll be less noticeable with VTR wheels on I think. Its only 10mm or so but its bugging me

Everything is straight underneath! Seen a few that are like it from pics so I dunno mate. Inner wings are straight. It's had a wing and bumper as the bottom crossmember is bent but you could blow on it and it'd bend....

Put the BTB on. What a bag of horse s**t, lol. Split weld and it sagged so it sat about 3" off the ground. So took it back off and put the Janspeed back on for now. Getting the coins back for the BTB tommorrow so I'll use that for tyres and a rear axle as the one on the car has play in the trailing arms.
Middo is PCing it tommorrow so we'll see what it comes up like! Found a mint bonnet and wing too so all the dents and vent outlines will be gone, mint.
Winston, if I had 4 Saxo steels, I would, lol!

Reet, bit of an update! Middo gave the car a quick go over with the PC, looks a thousand times better, big thanks to him! Will get some pics up in a sec....
There was a bit of play in the trailing arms of the rear beam which is a common problem on Saxos and the bearings from Citreon are £200 then you have to have stub axles made which are a fortune too so I got a spare beam with calipers, disks, ABS rings etc from a lad over on 106Owners. Went about fitting it earlier, had a right mare, lol. Bolts seized that took 2 hours of grinding and bashing to get off, Unions stuck in the load sensor, Bleed nipple snapped in the caliper etc etc. Anyway, got it on, bled the brakes and put the wheels back on and theres still play in the passenger side, it was dark so couldnt tell wether its the trailing arm or the wheel bearing. This f**king car is cursed!

double post :S
before anybody says have i got any before pics. i havent, as i really wasnt expecting to get any results from it lol
ended up wetsanding it alot more than i initially expected, and polishing the entire thing with a compound 4'' head and menz IP 3.02. then as time was pressing went straight to vics collectors wax. however when dave has filled up all the scratches we can wet sand again before finally refinishing the paint with some final / megs 80.

Mark spent about an hour TBH, he was pissing about otherwise
Wet sanded some heavy scracthing, Menzerna by PC and then topped with Victoria wax by hand. Some chip stick action, more wet sanding and a full on PCing is needed when I put the new bonnet and wing on though!
