hello
i thought i would start my thread again as i messed up the picture uploading etc..
being only 16 i have been eager to buy a car and this is what i got for 1200 with only 53,000 miles.
the first task was to give it a good detail as the car wasnt in best shape. the number plate on the front was swapped for a fresh one as the old was manky. also i always liked the look of the aero wipers so went and bought some.
should have taken before and after shots to show the difference :/.
i then replaced the passenger headlight as this was badly clouded and the steering wheel which was badly melted. these were replaced like for like. (sadly no photos as phone wasnt working)
the wheels needed a refurb as they were curbed badly. i sanded the entire wheels down and went over the curbs and heavy brake dust with a wire brush attachment for the drill. the wheels were masked up with tyres on and was sprayed with three coats of grey primer . three coats of peugoet graphite grey was applied and then three coats of clear coat. this is the finished piece.
the brake discs were down on the MOT advisory so that was my next task which are a very simple job with no experience.
before:
after:
the next mod was the vital thing for a 1.2...... RS GRILL
the grill itself is easy to fit but i had trouble removing the bumper due to rusty bolts but makes such a difference to the front.
a stubby aeriel costing £3 was fitted as it looked like a remote controlled car before
the interior had abit of love shown to the dash strips which was wrapped in carbon fibre and the gear stick painted yellow.
next the bullet writing was sanded and painted to go with the yellow theme
and then some cheeky stickers
with a tight budget and lessons etc i need to keep buying to a minimum but not always easy.
future mods:
colour coded door strips( on courier)
172 rear bumper
lower depending on insurance
im hoping to be on the road for the traxx meet as im doing a week crash course
tell me what you think
